So was out cruising with my kids and grand kids today. We were heading in about 3300 rpm. Heard what sounded like aerating my props so I trimmed bow up to keep props more in the water. Boat didn't seem right after that. I had kind of thought I may have spun a prop but I could reverse and forward...

The picture shows what I believe to be part of a davit system. It has the 2 pieces on the swim platform and looks like something else under the grab handle above the name. I just bought an 8 foot Walker Bay Odyssey inflatable and want to know what type that is, what am I missing, what to buy? Is...

I have a 94 290 DA and when we bought it we did get a survey done. We were told we have an excellent boat. There was a spare set of props stored under the bed in the forward berth. I needed them and pulled them out. I noticed at thy time a little bit of water in the space. I at the time...

Will one of the caframo stor dry heaters keep the engine room warm enough? I work 1500 miles from home. I was checking the weather at home at seen it was dropping to -8 Celsius or 17 degrees F. I called my mechanic and he pumped in some antifreeze for me and installed one of these heaters. They...

Was trying to winterize the old girls fresh and black water today. I turned on the fresh water pump and coil hear it running but no water at any of the taps. Looking for thoughts or ideas. Thanks

I am just curious as to how many forum members believe in the ritual to change the name of ones boat. When we bought our boat we instantly fell in love with her, 1994 290 DA. We fell in love with everything except her name, Playbuoy. We have since decided to rename her my wife did some reading...

So we are wintering in the water. I will have fresh and black water flushed with pink. I will have ceramic heater in cabin for moisture control and a bilge heater keeping it warm. I will be using the boat off and on every couple weeks when I get back home. On Van Isle we don't see much for below...

Well my 94 290 will be staying in the water all winter. I do plan on in taking it out off and on over the winter. I live on Vancouver Island so we do get quite a bit of rain over the winter here. Our temps are lows of -2 Celsius and highs around plus 6 Celsius. I am a little worried about...

So I had a diver swap my aluminum props and put on my stainless props on Friday. Did not get the best feeling about him but he did the job. So took the boat out for a long day cruising, stopped just off one of the gulf islands to enjoy the afternoon. When we were ready to leave fired up the...

So I have been posting about having 17 pitch props on my twin 4.3l mercruisers with alpha 1 legs. So tonight I headed out to set some crab traps, I opened it up to 4800 rpm (wot) and was doing about 35 mph. I backed out of it to 4000 an 26 mph to the crab grounds. Dropped my traps and headed for...

So I bought a 94 290 and have a couple questions. It has twin 4.3 ltr mercruisers. I believe they are bravo 1 legs. I installed the stingray hydrofoils on the legs. Originally I had 3 blade19 pitch SS props on her. When I pulled it out of the water it was suggested to swap to my aluminium...

So I have a 94 290 Sundancer, with twin 4.3 mercruisers. I had a 19 pitch prop was 3300 rpm going 31 mph. Changed to a 17 pitch now I do 22mph at 3300 rpm which I would expect. However my boat is thirsty. So my reasoning is if I can do 22 mph at 2200 rpm with my 19 pitch that would be more fuel...

Having trouble finding the y valve that will allow me to switch between dock pump out and macerator on my 94 290 Sundancer. New to me boat and just learning the inner workings of my boat. Pictures would be awesome. Any help is appreciated.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not. I did a search for Tapatalk and didnt find what I was looking for. The issue is I was able to log in on Tapatalk on Iphone to CSR before I was sent my email confirmation when i signed up. Now I cant reply to anything when I am on CSR on my...

Hi all, just joined this site and am impressed with what i have seen. I look forward to all the info and camaraderie here. We moved to Vancouver Island BC a couple years back. With view of the gulf islands I knew it was only a matter of time before I couldnt hold out anymore and buy a boat. My...
