thanks for all the info. unfortunately i don't care for the cockpit layout of the newer 42-44 so that is not an option i would consider. i am getting an opinion and costs from our local CAT rep here in the great lakes area this week. i will let you know how the conversation goes.
i know this item has been discussed in the past, but i wanted to see if there are any new technical reasons i should not upgrade my 350hp, 2003, 3126 CATS to either the 385 hp or the 425 hp option on the engine. numerous friends now have the 42DA and 44DA with the 485hp Cummins and unfortunately...
Brannon, i am not positive this is the same boat, but, i looked at a 2004 42DA with 270 hours. i found out after some digging this boat was brought up from Florida, salt water. you might want to pose the question and see ...
thanks for the comments, i just installed new AETNA digital tachs, and they read the same as the old TELEFLEX tachs. i am reasonably confident of the RPM numbers. i am certain i have added significant weight to the boat since purchase. my thoughts are to strip down the boat of all added items...
I have an '03' 41 dancer with 350 hp 3126 CATS. looking at the engine specs, it looks like i can increase to 385 hp with very little part changes. my question is, is this something a weekend mechanic can accomplish? is there and downside to the increase in HP? I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING 200 RPM...

I need some advice. i replaced my Tachs with the AETNA digitals on 41 dancer with 3126 cats. same wiring. ignition, ground and signal. but both tachs read 9999. any thoughts?
plugged my 2003 410DA into the new power pedestals in Port Austin, mich, and tripped the circuit breaker on the whole dock. the new pedestals were installed to protect the surrounding water from stray current releasing from boats to the water. the issue was traced to two items on my boat. 1. AC...
Marty, thanks for the info... how is the vinyl trim secured? push pins or screws?
what do you mean you had to 'cut cabinet bottom" to get past stairway?
does anybody have removal and installation help for a refrigerator on a 2003 41DA?
my current Norcold DE0461 no longer cools, and i am looking to replace with a Norcold DE0061. it is supposed to be a direct replacement. the local refrigeration people state the entire refrig cabinet needs to be...
