We currently have an 89 340DA. 1 daughter (usually with a friend), 1 wife, 2 dogs. Usually at least one one other family with a kid or 2. We usually only spend one night out at a time because things get a little tight but would like to be comfortable for the entire weekend or longer. Don’t...
I believe I have read all of the Quicksilver threads on here but can't find my answer. I have the 6.5 in my 89 DA. The dipstick is plastic and runs through a plastic tube to the outside of the generator. The tube is tapered and just sticks in a hole in the side of the motor. No grommet...
I have read plenty of threads about different flooring options. I love the idea of getting rid of the mauve carpet in our 89 340 and replacing with a hard surface but it’s not a top priority. Carpet will go in much easier and cheaper. Does anyone have any suggestions on the type of carpet...
Sorry for reposting but didn’t get any action in the 180 Thread.
I have a friend selling a 2005 185 Sport with the 115 Mercury four stroke OB. He has owned the boat since new and it only has 175 hrs. Always stored inside. Considering buying it. Anyone have any insight on this model and...
I have what I assume is the original thermostat on the original MarineAir 16000 BTU system. It’s the standard 3 knob style. From what I can tell after a season and a half of use is it basically has 2 settings, off and on. The Start mode does nothing, have to turn it to On to get it to pump or...
Finally made time this spring to pull the carbs off my Merc 454s on my 1989 340 Sundancer. Took them to a trusted auto mechanic for a rebuild. He said the fuel inside was pretty nasty and he suggested I drain my tanks. I trust him to work on the carburetors but he is not a boat guy.
The...
LOUISVILLE, KY - This is the original swim platform off of an 89 340 Sundancer. I swapped it for a larger, aftermarket platform. I assume it would fit multiple years, models. Has all hardware including stainless plates for transom and angled supports. Wood is in good shape on platform and...
Sorry to post this again, just figured it may get lost in the old 340 thread.
Anyone found an LED replacement bulb for these fixtures? I think the bulb is a #53. The ones I found on Amazon don’t look like they’d fit. Thanks!
I believe I've read all of the other threads and looking for some more help. I have a 6.5 kw Quicksilver that was out of the boat when I purchased it. It has been diagnosed with a short. Engine runs but needs a tune up. There is a shop in town that "may" be able to rewire it and get it...
Is there anything under the large flat space on each side of the hull, outboard of the engines, under the exhaust (see pics)? I have a very slight weep coming from the starboard side. Inside of hole feels like it may be filled with foam. I'm scared that I'm waterlogged in there. Anyone seen...
I tracked down a bad fuse in the panel to the right side of the helm. The panel isn't labeled and I haven't removed all of the fuses in the panel yet to track down what each controls. When I do this I want to double check that each circuit has the right size fuse. There are also a couple of...
I took our 1989 Sea Ray 210 BR out yesterday for the first time this season with a prospective buyer. The engine is a Mecruiser 350. There was a little oil on the floor of the bilge and it appears to be seeping out around the fuel pump. It looks like it's coming out of the pump, not where the...
i bought an 89 340 DA last fall. Just moved it into its summer slip in a covered marina on the Ohio. Cleaned it up and things look ok. Not completely chalky but needs a little polishing and waxing. Was hoping to have the boat pulled this Spring but due to nasty flooding this year everyone is...
Everything is up and running but on our fresh water cooled 89 340 DA now I'm getting steam that appears to coming from the riser/manifold connection point. Has the sweet, antifreeze smell, Have only run the engines in the dock for a total of maybe 20 mins. this year. Don't remember noticing...
Finally getting some decent weather. Got most things put back together today.
- Turned the AC on after cleaning out the strainer. Is barely pumping water. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
- took the hot water bypass off and reconnected the water lines. The pressure relief valve was...
I was wrapping up winterizing today and it was raining. Found a leak in the corner between galley and head, at the top of the window. This is a new boat to me but from the looks of it I'd say it's been dripping for a while. As anyone run into this? Is there one spot that tends to be the...
Anyone have any experience winterizing a newer Purasan system? The directions clearly state to not use antifreeze so you must drain the tank separately. Wondering if anyone had figured out a good system for pushing/pumping out the contents and being able to collect it. The location of my tank...
Anyone have any experience? The directions clearly state to not use antifreeze so you must drain the tank separately. Wondering if anyone had figured out a good system for pushing/pumping out the contents and being able to collect it. The location of my tank makes it tough. Thanks!
Anyone know which one it is? There is the small fuse panel on the starboard side at the helm but it isn't labeled and I can't find a diagram.
I'm not getting power at the fixtures. Anyone else dealt w this problem?
Thanks for the help.
