Been a while since I have been on here so I figured it was time to contribute. So as the title states, I have been in the process of installing A/C on my boat for the last 2 weeks. The rain has held me back considerably as it seems like Virginia is in some Seattle Twilight Zone for the past...

So on the water today I hooked up my water heater and found out that the pressure relief valve went bad so I ended up bypassing the heater and draining the tank This resulted in 6 gallons of water in my bilge. After I finished I hit the bilge switch and I could hear a clicking but the bilge...

So Wai (Ethan's Tank) and I went in together on a heatgun and supplies to shrink wrap our boat ourselves, mine was much easier being a 240. His 350 was a little more difficult but still doable. I got the gun on ebay with a 4 ft extension for 600 shipped. The rest of the supplies wasn't too...

So I winterized yesterday evening and when I finished I went to drain the antifreeze from the block. All the plugs drained fine except one. When I looked at the plug it had rust staining all all over. I didnt have any bendable wire to run into the hole, and a straight wire wouldn't do the...

I am toying around with the idea of removing the stupid carpet headliner and replacing it with a vinyl covering. I have read somewhere on here people talking about using some sort of backer board behind the vinyl then gluing it up or using Velcro. Does anyone have a link or something to the...

So I am curious to know what projects people have planned for winter... I was not planning on staying out of the water just yet, but after a recent trip to a nearby lake my wife wanted to take boat home for a good cleaning since it was already on the trailer. The idea was to clean it up then...

So couple weeks ago my trim up stopped working and from speaking with a mechanic and also reading on here I found that the problem is the trim limiter. No biggie since my trailer trim button can be used to trim up. Last night on my way in (trimmed all the way down) while I was on my way to...

Soooo I knew I had issues with my water pressure on the cold side and knew I would have to clean my water pump filter. Here is what I found... That was easy to clean, and I knew I would have to run bleach through the system a couple times to kill off any nastiness. When looking through...

Has anyone experienced this: Bought boat from a third party broker, called local searay dealer to get a ballpark quote on some work I want done... The service manager tells me, Did you buy your boat from us? I told him know I bought it at a local marina through a broker. Then he...

Anyone ever replaced the 20amp fuse for a 2000 sundancer 240? From my searches it should have behind the helm panel in line with the switches. Unfortunately I looked back there and definitely no fuse. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome since I just bought the...

Well the weather was great today so I called out sick so I could get my boat and move it to my new marina from the old one. Seemed like an easy task... Here's the unlucky part: get out on the water just outside the marina I am leaving and as I throttle up this piercing alarm starts screaming...

So I noticed the other day that when the boat isn't even turned on, my tach reads about 500rpm. Appears to work fine when it's running but I am wondering if when I think I am cruising at 3500 if I am really at 3000... anyone ever had a similar problem? I did a search and didn't come up with...

Just purchased a 2000 SeaRay Sundancer 240 with MERC 5.7 and BRAVO III. New to boating so this is all new to me. I know I will have lots of questions and will be reading alot of the how to's as I get accustomed to my new toy. Right now I have a slip at the EZ Cruz Marina in Woodbridge, VA...
