    What was your first boat and how did you pay for it?

    I say to each their own. Depends on what type of boating you want to do. We purchased our first boat 21 years ago as 23 and 24 year olds with only a car payment (him) and student loan (me) between us. Crazy kids with a boat before a house or even being married!! Was a 8 year old 20' Mariah cuddy...

    Oxygen sensors

    Yes and it's very easy to use. Top notch customer service - talked to them before purchasing. Ordered it on Tuesday and had it Wednesday.

    Oxygen sensors

    It didn't work for us. However, we went ahead and bought the scan tool after replacing the sensor and still alarming. Hubs ran through everything and no other issues. Knock on wood, after resetting the code, we have been good to go.

    2011 SeaRay 280

    Looking for some advice regarding our 2011 SeaRay Sundancer 280. At the end of the season last year, our engine began a surging like when cruising on plane, had it checked out this spring but our mechanics didn't find anything. In the water for a couple of weeks and it happens then goes into...

    Water Pressure Sensor 8M000623 on EBAY?

    Unfortunately, they didn't work for us. Ordered two and the first one gave a pressure reading of 39 and never changed; the second was a 0. Purchased one from the marine dealer down the road, worked like a charm.

    Is the 350 mag engine enough power for the new sundancer 280

    We purchased a leftover 2011 280 last Feb. With the bigger engine. Our last two boats had the 350 MAG. Just couldn't imagine it on a cruiser this size. It is a great boat and you will never regret the bigger engine, Good luck!

    Lake of the Ozarks first timer

    It really isn't that busy during the week, but can be very busy on the weekends. There are literally coves everywhere for fishing, tubing or just dropping anchor and chilling. We have been down there twice in the past with boats. Enjoy!

    Full Canvas Package install help

    We find that only partially zipping the zippers then snapping the snaps and zipping her up works best. Canvasses are very tricky and susceptible to temps. Once you get it figured out the first time, you will be set.

    The official 2009 270DA ~ 2010 280DA thread

    We hadn't used our camper canvas in a few weeks, and when we went to put up Saturday it was extremely humid and was tight, tight in the back. Any advice on how to loosen it up? On our Crown line we were able to make some adjustments via the bimimi poles, but that doesn't seem to be an option on...

    Brand new Kohler generator impeller damaged?

    We purchased a brand new, leftover SeaRay 280 Sun dancer in Feb. Took possession in April and in late May was finally able to take it out on the water. We used the generator two times. It has just over two hours on it. When we started it last Saturday, city ran for 30 seconds and then stopped...

    Oxygen Sensors Failure

    We have the same problem. Out with our brand new boat (it is a 2011, it was a leftover we purchased over the winter) for the first run of its life and the alarm went off regarding this fail. According to other forums, Mercury doesn't know how to fix it just yet...we'll learn to live with that...

    First day out this season with the new 240 Select!

    Looks like this coming weekend is going to be outstanding! The river level is forecast to be right about the same next weekend. We have a slip in that pool and frequent that pool as well as the one north which has some outstanding beaches!

    Launch process at the ramp?

    I am laughing out loud over the checklist! Over the last 14 years me and the hubby developed quite the system: get the boat ready in an adjacent parking lot by the ramp then when we were ready, he would pull the boat over with me and the kids inside the boat. I can't back a boat trailer, so long...

    Where to find a used trailer - 290 Amberjack

    I would also be interested in suggestions pertaining to this. We are looking for one for a 2011 280 Sundancer. We are in eastern Iowa and would prefer to stay in the Midwest if all possible.
