I have a 2005 280DA and the exterior "Sundancer" decals were looking pretty bad. I finally broke down and got some replacements. While at it, I also decided to compound & wax, along with the decal treatment to get her looking like new again. After a bit of research I tackled the job...

2005 280 Sundancer , 6 gallon water heater, no hot water. I hope this may help out anyone with the same problem. My issue is that the hot water side will only trickle water out, with the flow actually stopping in a few seconds. Cold water pressure was fine on all faucets. Input (cold) and...

New territory for me, I've spent a week or so researching, and am planning on rebedding the sun hatch this weekend. Would appreciate tips from anyone who's been down this road already. From what I've seen online a sealant, either Life Seal or 3M UV4000, is preferred over butyl tape due to flex...

AC Power Supply (used and working), sells for $252 new - $75 shipped (Can send you a video showing it powering up the frig) Cooling fan assy w/bracket, sells for $54 new - $15 shipped (this is a new replacement fan with a higher CFM rating than the original) Also have door and inside shelf assy...

The old Norcold frig in our 280 Dancer quit cooling on battery altogether. The DC power supply tested bad following Norcold's troubleshooting guide. At $300 for a replacement p/s, it made more sense to replace it with a new frig vs. repairing what was there. Picked up one on Amazon for $699...

We bought this 280 last fall, knowing I'd have to do something about the electronics. It came with the original Ray 215 VHF complete with rotted mic cord and an older Lowrance chartplotter that could no longer be updated with current maps. I'd peeked under the helm and was not too impressed...

I've been fighting this issue for the past week and finally got it figured out, hopefully this may help someone else from a headache.... I recently purchased a Raymarine bundle that included the eS78 chartplotter, Quantum radar, and Navionics+ bundle to install on my 280DA. One of the...

Boat is a 2005 280 Sundancer. This is my first boat larger than a ski boat and I am looking for some help in addressing a leak. The boat is parked in a slip in our marina, has the full camper top canvas in place. We had a serious rain yesterday morning and I have water inside. In the image...

Picked up my first Sea Ray recently, an '05 280DA. It had an inop VHF with what appears to be a typical issue, the mic cord was rotted away. Replacement cords are available at $75+, which was too close to the price of a new radio. I tried getting the pinout from Raymarine support with no...

Just became a first time Sea Ray owner this past weekend and enjoying it after a long hiatus from boating. Prior boat many years ago was a 19 ft, 1985 American Skier so this is a bit new to me. The new boat is a 2005 280DA with twin 4.3's and is definitely more boat than what I've dealt with...
