time flies I guess! I checked and it was actually 10 years ago, not 5. But yeah, I guess it was cheap. I don’t know. Maybe the spa dealer got a deal or something. I definitely wouldn’t have paid thousands to use a crane.

This is how I had my hot tub put into my backyard. To get it back there without the crane would have required going up a berm then moving it over uneven, rocky ground behind 2 4-unit townhouses until you got to my back yard. The rent on the crane was only $150 (granted that was 5 years ago...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077SFVN8J/?coliid=I1RLA63K1LP5WJ&colid=3ZEZ4KSSWL3K&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I originally couldn’t find anything to buy. So, I took the clips that are used to hang power cords from your rail and put screws on the cord side. Then I ran fishing line between the...

I have to use the fishing line clips on my bow rail to keep the swallows off. The fishing line can get messy but it does work to keep the birds off. Mostly. There’s usually one swallow that figures out a way around the fishing line, but its better than 30 swallows sitting on the rail! The...

My 1988 340 had the TV antenna wired to the same breaker as the vacuflush system. I don’t know if that was original or previous owner changed it. It took me a while to figure that one out.

My neighbors home was broken into last week. My security cameras caught a picture of the likely culprit. He was a white guy wearing a red and white hat. The cops couldn’t ID him from the camera footage though so they said they would take a report but wouldn’t investigate it further. He didn’t...

Here’s a pic

I’ve got a fusion AV755 connected via NNEA2000 to a Garmin 942XS. The XM antenna is connected to the fusion head unit. I’m able to see SiriusXM info on the head unit, mfd, garmin app, and fusion app. Did they say this was a problem with specific models? Dan

Oh, and I have 10’ of chain and 150’ of line for the stern anchor. Dan

I will second Keith on Fortress. I use an 11 pound Fortress as a stern anchor for my 34’. It has held up to 5 boats (and the other boats were 38-44’) rafted from spinning. Very impressed with the Fortress anchors. I’ll add that although you can throw them because they are light, ive never had...

I used to have a 1988 340 Sundancer and now have a 2002 Rinker 342. I like them both and wouldn’t pick one over the other based on name. They both seem to be well-made boats. But it sounds like you like the layout of the sea ray better which is pretty important. It’s one of the reasons I went...

I disconnected the hose from the strainer and used a regular sprayer on a hose to back flush the junk out. It wasn’t a perfect fit but I was able to get enough water pressure to make it work. The bilge didn’t get too wet! Haha. Dan

I owned a 1988 340 Sundancer for 8 years before selling it last year. I loved it. I’m sure you will too. About the door, I searched all those years for a new (used) door and tracks and couldn’t find them. I finally removed the door and took it to a woodworker for reconditioning. Even when I...

I’m on the opposite coast, but about $100 to check everything and report back. Dan

I responded personally to Tony, but wanted to respond here too so others would see it and maybe help better than I did. Unfortunately, my schematics were for late 80s 310 and 340, not 300. Maybe someone out there has wiring diagrams for the 300. Dan

Hi Tony, I have some wiring diagrams for 1988 300. I don’t know what changed between the years, but if you want them I can send them to you. They are large files, so PM me your email address. Dan

I have several harmony remotes. They are great and it makes it easier for anyone to use the A/V equipment even if they’re not familiar with it. Dan

There is a 340 Sundancer in our shed that has them. They said they really like them and they work well. Dan

In a WebEx meeting now.

I had a distress call show up on my standard horizon a couple months ago. It stayed on the screen until I cleared it. The position given was in the middle of an urban area about 40 miles away. The only waterway in the area isn’t big enough for anything but small boats like kayaks and I didn’t...
