This is the same boat as the 06-08 40 SunDancer, correct? A few questions, a few for sale have the extended swim platform. I’m assuming these are factory and hydraulic lift, not something easily added, or have people added these after market? What maintenance is required, do we need to yearly...

Went to replace my water pressure sensor after a starboard guardian alarm (water pressure did not rise with RPMs) and the sensor just fell off. Replaced the oil cooler from mrcool.us, and easy install. Old heat exchanger had blockage, so I’m doing the port now. Ordered the part on Tuesday, will...

At least the view is pretty…

Super easy question, I see no issue running the engine without the flame arrestors, I need to take them home tonight, they are awful. My mechanic is having surgery, and I am at a restaurant tonight, but will be back at the boat in 3 hours. Once I get back to the marina, I want to remove the...

Do you have a heading sensor installed? For Simrad, at least, I needed a heading sensor to allow the radar to overlay. To overlay, again on simrad, open standard chart, then in the menu navigate and turn on the radar.

I think I would prefer that it have 50 hours a year, so 400 at least. At 125, that’s either 15 hours a year, or 60 the first two years, and never driven after that. Seems like that would be a concern.

I installed a Simrad NSS EVO3, 9” on my 320. Does not integrate with the engines yet, but one connection away. I ordered a new panel from Techno Grafics (spelling?), they custom cut the panel to fit the NSS EVO3 9”

For stainless steel fridges, apply a bit of WD-40 or similar product on a regular basis, takes just a few seconds, but keeps the surface looking like new.

Congrats! Who is going to perform maintenance and repairs once the boat is back in Michigan? Maybe find a Cummins mechanic local to you, explain the situation, and they might have some questions to ask, and test results they want to look at, the repairs they would want to have seen completed...

We just spent a week on Dale Hollow lake, but that’s before the dam, and Celina is just after the dam, on the Obey River, so I have no information on marinas, anchorages, etc, but sounds like a great trip.

I owned a Yamaha 200, never treated the fuel, always used ethanol, kept the fuel relatively full, never an issue. Never any off season treatment, routinely sat unused from December to April, always started first attempt.

This is amazing. This is on the bucket list! Enjoy!

Little brass bolt in the image, the o-rings go bad and allow a slow leak, doubtful this is your issue. It connects to the ball in the toilet and rotates it when you press the pedal, and activates the freshwater supply… https://seacoastservices.com/basic-maintenance-kit-w-2-duckbill-valves/

Pictures! Enjoy, those are great boats!

A crack in the bellows of the pump would cause this issue. Also, there is an o-ring for the bellows that I misplaced on putting everything back, and this prevented any suction from building up. Once I put everything back in correctly, then I un-hooked the toilet hose, covered the hole, and...

I run my Honda Gen in the salon so I don’t have to hear it when I’m outside enjoying the water, what’s wrong with that?? Sorry, couldn’t resist…

I’m a good swimmer, I usually don’t get in the water (that’s over my head) without at least holding on to a jacket. Too much work to get back to the boat/dock/etc…

On a separate note, what are the specs on those 4 blade props? Maybe see if the broker can get that from the previous owner?

I get pitot ckt hi/lo because we have v-drives, there is no pitot sensor. I somehow reset my smartcraft, and I get these codes. Just ignore. Fuel pump relay code, boat will not run, common issue, I keep backup relays on my boat, and replaced the harnesses as well. Sea pump psi, engine will run...

I am planning on purchasing an emergency pump, I borrowed one from a mechanic in TN one year when I sent my wife and daughter to what I thought would be their deaths in a deck boat with no drain plug, bad bilge pump, on a lake with no cell coverage, few boaters, and shores with steep beaches...
