    Battery Switches while at anchor...

    Hmm, I didn't even think about hatch access with dead batteries. I do have 2 small circular hatches that allow me to get my arm into the engine room and release the hydraulic lift. I imagine lifting the hatch manually would be a chore. I did check all of my batteries and confirmed that one was...

    That looks sharp! I assume Tecnographic is local?

    Thanks Korkie, probably a good idea to check them; especially before the summer madness begins.

    Definitely a problem; however I'm assuming they can adjust with iphone since 99% of the time we are using Spotify. Though I'm not sure if you can adjust the volume through your phone.

    Ahh, well the good news for me is that I have 2 stock motorcycle speakers on the sunpad rails already that run to a 100w 2 channel amp but it's completely separate from the stereo system and is meant to run off of an ipod. It's obsolete so I think I can just replace the speakers and connect the...

    Battery Switches while at anchor...

    I have 2 pairs. Notes from survey in December of 2017: TWO banks of two “DEKA™” group #1231PMF 931 – 1000 CCA - marine grade, sealed cranking 12-volt lead acid batteries connected in parallel. The age of the 932 batteries is unknown, as tabs were still attached

    Battery Switches while at anchor...

    All great advice! I'm feeling better about it now. I'm told you have to disconnect the batteries (mine are in parallel) to get a true measure with a digital meter. I recently had the boat hauled out for new bottom paint and stern drive maintenance and even with switches off, the port side...

    Battery Switches while at anchor...

    Question for the Sea Ray fam, I'm fairly new to this boat and have never stayed overnight on the hook with my 370, primarily because I'm scared to death of waking up far away from the marina with dead batteries. Here are 2 common scenarios that I could use some advice: 1. If the generator is...

    That's gonna look great! I've seen quite a few sales/rebates from West Marine for Simrad in my inbox, but I've not pulled the trigger yet. Do you have a sub-woofer in your boat? My system sounds descent but there's no Bluetooth and no sound that reaches the bow area without blasting out...

    Beautiful Boat! Welcome to the Club! Summer in Seattle, awesome. I used to live on Queen Anne and loved it. I have a 2012 370 here in Austin (Lake Travis) and I spend at least 1 night a week on the boat. Enjoy it.

    Exoset, I was under the impression that the sole purpose of the gateway was to convert 0183 to 2000. All of my current gear is 0183. That will suck if you can't use the axius and the MFD. I have not purchased anything yet but do have a couple of quotes from my marine electronics guy for MFD...

    2008 350 Sundancer

    Let me know if you still need a picture, I can run down to the boat and snap a couple of pics.

    2010 SeaRay370 Sundancer

    Ryne, I have the same boat and yes, the cushion has a flat "hard plastic" board that is in the same shape as the cushion and it lays on top of the table which you attach to the shorter pole. My cushion has snaps that snap under the bench cushions to hold it in place.

    2012 370 DA Questions

    Ryne, I purchased the same boat last December and can provide pics of the aft cabin and the aft sun pad installed if you are still looking for answers. You should have 2 poles, one for the table and a shorter one for the sun pad. Our shorter pole is under the "stern" cushion seat. The sun pad...

    It will fit but there won’t be much left of the inlay. BTW, I looked online at citimarine and I don’t see the $1975 offer??? I need to order the 3G radar as well. Did you use a promo code?

    Thanks! Are you installing yourself? Im a little nervous about cutting the dash cover.

    Thanks for the info! That's a nice console setup on that new SeaRay Sundancer. That flush mount Fusion stereo is nice. Also, the commentator in the video said that the Go12s were using the vessel view; however I wonder if the Vessel View link (separate part) will convert the older...

    Exoset, I'm looking at a very similar purchase; hopefully for a Thanksgiving Day project. I was planning to do a phased approach by getting the Simrad Go12 XSE MFD and then adding radar before summer. My boat is a 2012 SD 370 and I have a similar setup but with SmartCraft Vessel View and of...
