340 Sundancer 2003.5+ vintage. Forward hatch arm snapped at the base. I tried gluing the separated pieces back together with different kinds of epoxies with no luck. Does anybody have any experience replacing these hatch arms? I ask because they appear to be pop riveted to the frame of the...

2003.5 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer Issue: Air is somehow getting into the pressurized water lines causing the 12v water pump to runs 3x longer than normal because it is trying to pressurize the air trapped in the system. I can hear and see air being discharged from each of the faucets (cockpit sink...

Had a squeak I was dealing with and swapped out the belt which stopped the squeak. According to the manual, the 8.1 has a belt tensioner pulley wheel in the middle of the serpentine route. It said turn it clockwise with a breaker bar (and 13mm socket in 1/2” drive) to loosen the pulley tension...

Not my boat, but looks like a newer 30' Sea Ray from Florida was transported up to Rochester and launched Friday. They made the short drive to the Port of Rochester marina and I believe it sank overnight at the dock. I haven't heard what the cause was yet.

I did the research on here about soft spots on core decks and I understand the proper way is to remove the skin, the rot, and re-core. I understand if I don't deal with it, it could get worse. My situation is an approx 12" x 18" section of my foredeck cabin top, by one of the circular windows...

Current OEM set up: 2003.5 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer, 200' of 5/8" anchor line with 25' of 5/16" chain attached to a 25# plow anchor with a Lofrans Progress One windlass. My playground is Lake Ontario. My typical over night anchoring situation is less than 12-15' in protected waters with a combo...

Anyone have any experience retrofitting their older boats with one of these to their newer MFD for engine data? http://www.yachtd.com/products/engine_gateway.html

How do I look up the manufacture date of my engines with the serial numbers? I searched the forum and couldn't come up with anything.

2003.5 Sundancer 340 and the genny has 360 hours on it. Barely used it last year because of the high water on Lake Ontario. Had a hard time starting it this year, needed starting fluid and it was running slow, only putting out half the voltage (foreshadowing) Took me two days to narrow it...

2003.5 340 Sundancer with twin 8.1 v-drives 575 hours Labor Day ran fine all day. Rafted up with 14 boats on my anchor. End of the day I go to fire up engines and starboard is fine but port won't start. The checklist: 1. It's in neutral 2. Battery switches are on and the rocker lights are...

Looking for someone that has installed a new Raymarine multifunction display into their Sea Ray and intergraded it with their old Mercury SmartCraft SystemView to get engine data on their new display. I recently installed a Raymarine A97. The one thing I couldn’t figure out is how to get...

I don't know if I'm chasing aliens or bigfoot, but I've always heard different rumors about being able to convert 9.9 outboards to 15 hp because they are essentially the same size, bore, pistols, part number, etc except for maybe a carb or jetting or throttle limiter, etc. Anybody ever...

Doing a little trip planning and one idea was to go into the Lake of the Isles for a day or two. I've been there many times for day trips on a smaller boat with an I/O. We thought the kids would love the swimming and exploring the rift on the dinghies. Can you anchor overnight in a quiet part...

I replaced my Raymarine Ray230 VHF radio with a brand new out of the box Ray260. Everything hooked up the same except instead of a SeaTalk1 connection I had to make the NMEA 0183 connection to the older RL70C chartplotter. Instructions said it has to be SeaTalk-ng or NMEA 0183, not both and...

I didn't have time this morning to trouble shoot this on the boat or search the forum so I thought I kick this out to see if anyone has dealt with this. I flush my SeaLand vacflush head with the foot pedal. I go above and when I come down a few minutes later I hear water running in the head. I...

I searched for a solution and people have asked this question but I didn't like any of the solutions. First I'll start by saying the Rule check valves are worthless. Water can trickle back into the shower sump and trigger the pump every 15-20 minutes. Very annoying at night and it was the...

Anybody have any idea where to find a replacement dipstick for a Mercruiser 8.1? The plastic/rubber yellow tip is almost completely torn off from years of banging into it while climbing over the motors. I'm afraid the whole dipstick is going to be irretrievable if it does break off the next...

Current my 2003 340 Sundancer has a RL70C chartplotter with radar and ST7001 auto helm. I want to upgrade to Raymarine a95 multifunction with a new digital radar dome RD418D. Is there going to be a compatibility issue with the auto helm or other older sensors and inputs? I ran into this when I...

2003 (late) Sundancer with 8.1 Mercruiser V-drives 500 freshwater hrs. Fresh impellers and belts. original pumps. Second year in a row I've launched and the raw water pump appeared not to be pushing water on one of the motors. Once I force water into the system it's fine. Yard crew throw...
