And probably put you in touch with the person at the factory who actually installed your unit... ;) Bryan

Be warned that the wheel won’t just slide off and you may need a steering wheel puller to get it off. Yes, I have the t-shirt for that. Bryan

In addition to these suggestions, I would suggest remote battery jumper terminals, like these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1430/overview/ I put them next to my battery switch. It allows me to connect any 12v accessory with a battery clip without digging into my engine compartment to...

You spend all that money on the boat, and then spend more to leave it. It is separation anxiety from your $. :D Bryan

Prams are pretty stable little boats, and are often rated for 3 or 4 persons due to their boxy design. I am not sure where the "stupid" is in this story. Is there something special about Highlands NJ waters that we don't know? Like they took it into the ocean a couple miles? Bryan

Absolutely you can remove the paddlewheel. See this link: http://www.airmartechnology.com/uploads/InstallGuide/17-438-01.pdf. Most paddlewheels are made by Airmar, but they are all essentially the same. Read the instructions and let me know if you have further questions. Bryan

If it gets speed from a paddlewheel, they are notorious for collecting marine growth. They should be pulled out and the dummy plug put in at the end of every day's use. Also, a toothbrush works wonders in cleaning them. Lastly, some dry lube will help keep them clean and running. Check for...

Nope. We rented a house on Kiawah Island. We will be the absolute last people in the US to see 100% totality. We will see it from the beach. Bryan

While I absolutely agree with this premise, I am not sure this story really supports it. He obviously was not operating a vessel at the time. We had a tragedy here last year where a family had gone to a local beach/bar. Dad was the only one who could operate the boat(it was a rental, but that...

Generally, the heat indicates not enough water flow. Since they were just done, were the correct gaskets used? We're they oriented properly? Have you flushed the engine well? Bryan

In order to get any reasonable response, you need to give more info on both the boat and the instrument. Are you referring to a digital tri-data gauge? What is the 310's propulsion system, etc.? The more info you provide, the better the responses will be. Bryan

I put a trash can with water and fabric softener on a marina float and drop everything into that, then hose out the locker. You are right to be concerned as the mud will clog the drains. I like my excess water going overboard. Bryan

Did you clean the connections? Bad grounds can sometimes do wonky things to your electrical system. Bryan

Agreed. Flounder Pounder's website is, unintuively, http://www.searay-parts.com/ Bryan

Did they happen to tell you how many drops per ounce? I could find nothing regarding coverage on their website. Bryan

For the continuity of the thread, I will post my response to your PM: "The install itself went fine. You have to switch out all components up forward with the components in the box, but the wiring is sufficient. If you use the Lewmar windlass, you will have to fill and redrill a couple of holes...

I had 10 people (about 7-8 adult weight total) a few weeks ago. It took a while, but I was able to get up on plane in smooth water. I have no problem with 5 adults. Weight dispersion makes a difference, and with the 10 people, they all wanted to sit in the stern. We weren't going far, so I...

Welcome, you got a great boat! :smt038 Read this thread from front to back: http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/1786-Late-90-s-270-Sundancer-Thread it is your user's manual. :grin:

The reason most sailboats go bow in to a slip is that they turn better going forward. It is easier to go bow in. When you leave the slip, there is generally more room coming out of a slip to turn. It isn't that much of a difference though. More like parking a car. Front first is just a bit...

You can do those or a G4 base tower like this: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-bi-pin/g4-led-bulb-2-watt-20-watt-equivalent-bi-pin-led-white-hh/1636/ Frankly, I like the MR11 bulbs with the integrated reflector, though you have to make sure you get the right diameter reflector. Bryan
