I want to replace the mattress on my '99 310 DA. I've 'heard' of people buying an inexpensive queen mattress and 'cutting' it.. yes cutting it, to fit the berth. As this sounds pretty self-explanatory, I have no idea how to cut a mattress and have it stay together to not produce a mess. How on...
Anyone replace their AC unit & thermostat and found yourself re-doing the mount? I’m looking for ideas to re-do this? I want to make it look good, yet not rip apart my boat in doing so. I’ve attached a pic of how it looks now.
After replacing my unit completely 2 years ago, my AC and heat have been perfect. I recently moved to a different marina, and have the opportunity to run my heat/AC often, without a large electric bill. Over the past 2 weeks, it's been colder here, so I've set my heat to run and stay at 65...
I have a leak on the port side of my 20" x 20" hatch. I've already sealed it on the 3 main sides, but the side closest to the windshield is hard to seal, since the swing motion bar/hold/connector, whatever you want to call it, is making it impossible to seal that area. Is there any way to keep...
My Charles 20 amp, 3 bank battery charger died in my 99 310DA. I'm pretty sure this is the original charger, but I could be wrong. I need a 3 bank, but I have no idea what to replace it with. I was thinking of getting the same one as they still offer it, but I want to have a screen or some type...
Recently, the past 2/3 times I've gone out, I can't get my port engine above 3,800 RPM. My starboard engine however, easily hits 4,300 - 4,400 RPM. The throttle levers are like night and day. If I drop the starboard engine, the port engine slightly drops. It seems as if it has an issue.
In the...
I've never removed, replaced, or even have a clue to replace my steering wheel. The wood is cracked, and it needs to be replaced. It's cut my hands a few times.
I found this one, and it's very similar to the one I have. Will this swap and fit with my Sea Ray? I have a '99 310 DA...
I've owned my '99 310DA for about 5 years now, and when I got this boat, it was immaculate. Came from Florida, great condition, well-kept out of the water on a lift. Over the past couple of years, the mold and mildew on my boat has grown expediently. What I mean.. is it's the worst I've ever...
My genny randomly stopped supplying power today while being on the water for 20 or so minutes. It was reading 0 when I went downstairs, but was still running. I flipped the switch on the side of the genny, and reset the breaker inside with no luck - anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

This past Sunday, I was coming back (literally pulling in the dock) after a long day on the water, about 7 hours. The trip was about 10 miles out, then anchor, party (run genny all day), then cruise back. The genny ran from when I disconnected shore power at the dock, to when I was 50 feet from...
I have a 310 DA, through-hull depth finder / transducer. Lately, I've been having issues and it's going in and out. Up until a month ago, it was doing that. After that time, it completely stopped worked. Around that time, I had a small leak in my bilge from the seawater pump, and lasted only two...
I'm looking for this in the parts guide. I have a picture myself, but also have a stock one from the parts manual. It seems that the galley sink was leaking very badly causing water to collect in the bilge and cause heavy condensation with mold/mildew. After finding the source, I noticed the...
I'm looking to replace my cabin bulbs in my '99 310DA. It uses the classic 2 pin, G4 style. I'm aware there are countless threads on this forum that describe what they did. No pictures though, or whether they are exact replacements.
This is what I'm trying to replace: AC overhead, DC overhead...
I'm trying to set up a loudspeaker 12/15", 40ish lbs on the back of my 310. I have quite a few rod holders, and I was wondering if anyone has mounted a speaker like this on their boat, and if it's possible to do it with a rod holder? It would leave room for me to move it around, and remove it...
I had an issue over the weekend where some of my outlets stopped working. I have a shopvac I was using and it just cut off. I checked the surge protector, it wasn't working either. I then looked further into, to check the breaker at the outlet itself, and it doesn't have one. I went over to the...
Has anyone done an aftermarket install for bow/stern thrusters on a 99-02 310 DA? If so, what did you use? This is a general question and doesn't have to be my year/model but I'm looking to do this upgrade to my boat since my marina is rather tight to move around. I know it's pricey, but should...
I created a group on Facebook to stay a little more up to date since most of us don't get on here very often.

Yesterday, I was waiting for the mechanic to do a quick pull to change my wheels. I was in my boat for about 2-3 hours working on my computer, and running the AC. The mechanic told me he's ready for me, so I disconnect the power and lines, then head over for the pull. We pull the boat out, I...
2 weeks ago, hit a log driving along going about 24 knots. Damn thing came out of nowhere, and I saw the tip of it just as it went under my anchor. After it hit, I could tell the prop was done. I had major vibration the higher I went with RPM's. Either way, the dent was on the starboard side...
