I have two 5.0 Mercruiser IOs, one of my raw water pumps got smoked, the entire impeller broke up as well at a piece of black plastic that was part of the pump housing. I found some of the pieces in the themostat housing. Good luck.

Hello, I have a 2000 SeaRay 290 Sundancer, ,my starboard engine is running between 170 and 220 degrees closer to around 200 degrees on the dashboard guage, the port is running just above 170. I just replaced the sea water pumps in both motors and changed the thermostats to 160's which had been...

As a result of Hurricane Sandy the swim platform on my 2000 290 Sundancer was completely ripped off. I ordered a replacement from Swim Platforms.com, as I found out they make an excellent replacement for a fair price. The new platform fitted like a glove and you really cant tell it from the...

I have ACE Insurance and have had it since 2005. They handled my claim for damage during Sandy timely and fairly.

I have had ACE since 2005, never a claim until this year due to Sandy. The claims manager was a real gentleman, all of his responses were timely and he was easy to reach either by telephone or email. ACE's rates were reasonable, I got the policy through the Alan Mott Agency in Huntington New...

My transom seems in good shape, the platform was held on with about a dozen 1/2 inch bolts, the platform tore off above the bolts. I was lucky in that mine and one other boat was still floating on my boat club's property the remaining boats about 32 of them were thrown across the canal onto...

Hello guys, As a result of Hurricane Sandy the swimplatform on my 2000 290 Sundancer was torn off the transom, does anyone know where I could find a OEM replacement? Thanks

I usually use the zinc guppy when I'm at a large marina, where I normally keep my boat there aren't many boats hooked up to electric so I don't use the zinc guppy. What I had did was run a #12 wire from the negative on one of my batteries to my stern tow eye, I fasten part of the wire to a rear...

Hi Jrock, I go to Atlantique quite a bit, the place is full of dogs and there never seems to be a problem. I don't know if they are allowed on the beach. I have walked to Ocean Beach with the dog on a leash, no one ever said anything. The only drawback to Atlantique is if you are not a Town of...

Hi Chris, Not for nothing but I sold a 1983 Sundancer 245 in 1994 with no trailer but nothing at all was wrong with the boat for $10,000 and at the time it was a fair price. The boat you mentioned seems to have a load of things wrong with it and the seller is asking top dollar. Keep on...

If you go to your SeaRay dealer with all information on your boat, they can match up your gel coat color perfectly. It is a two part mix and works great however I think that you have to have a certain temperature to use it. I used it on my 2000 290 Sundancer which had a gash of 1/2 inch wide...

I have a 2000 SR290DA, I was getting water into my transom locker also, I brought some stick on black foam insulation at ACE Hardware. I tried sealing the whole rim with the foam but I couldn't close the hatch right. I ended up just putting the foam across the top and down each side about four...

I purchased a Standard Horizon CP155 C a couple of years ago from Anchor Express.com in Maine, the price of the unit is one thing, then you have to buy the chip for your area. I think that I had paid around $500 for the plotter and $100 plus for the chip. I am very satisfied with the...

I have a 2000 290 Sundancer with 5.0 L motors, I use a cap wrench that fits on a 3/8 ratchet, I got my cap wrench at a auto parts store. The same cap wrench also fits my oil filters. Have some paper towels handy when you finally get it off, you will have some gas spilling from the filter.
