Doing a solar install on a 99 290 Sundancer. Looking for advice on running the cables from the arch to the batteries via the battery switch compartment. Not sure how to run them once I get down to where the arch meets the sidewalk. Thanks!
2 questions - does anyone know the approximate square footage of the ‘99 cockpit area? Considering an SeaDeck install and attempting to get an estimate on cost.
Second question - anyone towing a dinghy? Any tips?
Thanks
Does anyone know the approximate square footage of the cockpit area? I'm trying to get a rough idea of how much a decking install is going to be.
Thanks.
1999 290 Sundancer question:
Is the voltmeter on the panel showing total system voltage or just for the port starting battery? Woke up to find 8 volts this morning after added a LOT of water to a very dry battery (the solo port side battery).
Thanks,
Checked the fluid levels in my batteries yesterday. The 2 newer ones on the house side were nice and full. The one independent battery which is my port side starting battery (Interstate RV/Marine deep cycle) appears to be older. Popped the covers and could see the plates were exposed. The...
anyone know anything about Northwest Pine Island on Georgian Bay? Doing some exploring on the charts and google maps and I see on the satellite pic it looks like a neat spot with a cruiser dock on it. Don’t know who it belongs too though.

Hi all,
My engine controls are super stiff. Mechanic is recommending new shifter and throttle cables as well as replacing the controls themselves. Anyone done anything like this before? Changing the controls seems to be overkill to me.
Great, thanks. I've got plas-teak on the deck too so I'll go 2" then. No problems drilling the platform at all? This is my first project for the boat we bought last year so I'm apprehensive!
Looks great. I am about to mount the same grill pedestal mount I see you have attached. How long were the bolts you used? I'm not sure how thick the platform is and the boat is still under shrink wrap at the marina an hour north. Thanks.
Did you do the install? I’m guessing through bolts and some 4200 are enough? I have synthetic wood decking on my swim platform and I’m nervous to drill it.
Anyone have any examples or tips for mounting a grill/BBQ? I’m trying to decide on a rail mount above the aft storage locker or installing one on my swim platform towards the starboard aft corner. Thanks.
My mechanic recommended “whale tails” for my boat. Says I’ll notice a huge difference with them. 2 x 4.3L engines and alpha drives.
Anyone have any experience with them?
