When running water you can see lights draining in a pulsating manner for 30 seconds then fresh water pump breaker pops? Would the pump be bad causing it to draw too much or is it a wiring issue - had no problems last year -any thoughts would be appreciated
I posted this in the offical 410 dancer thread but others advice would be helpful.
I have a 99 400 Dancer the swim platform is 12 feet wide I am trying to decide between a 9.6 foot or a 10.6 foot setup with the Hurley davits. My concern is getting off the back when there are no side docks...
I am looking into getting a bow thruster installed on my 1999 sundancer. One company with a good reputation says that the vetus bow 75 the right size. Just want to be sure. Next size up is the bow 95 which he says is overkill and is $1500 more. Anyone feedback on those that have this size boat...
Does anyone keep these moisture absorbing pots in the boat during the summer season? I looked at at 1999 400 da yesterday and loved everything except the sight of the dampit pot and strong cleaner smell in the cabin - I've never kept dampit pot in my 280 during summer and moisture not an issue...
I am selling an 04 280 dancer and it needs new camper canvas I realize new canvas would help sell but will I get the money it cost back or just sell as is realizing I'll get less than if the canvas was new -everything else on boat is excellent which way generally pays off best? Thanks
Have been keeping an eye out for a 420da but saw an 07 40DA with Twin Cummins QSB 380's for sale locally. My understanding is that used to be the size of the 390. I really like the layout inside but in some posts i have read that the QSB's are underpowered, but am not sure which size they were...
Looked at a 2003 420 dancer with teak on swim platform and bridge deck, I know there are maintenance issues with teak - anyone n
know if they generally screw the teak in or glue it somehow? Swim platform looked silver whereas most of the bridge deck looked golden- it is shielded from sun, sailor...
Anyone move up from 280 to 420 or 410 who can compare close quarter maneuvering and docking ? Considering the jump but first time I looked at one I was a bit intimidated standing at the helm. Does the wind push u more because of size or less because of weight , do diesels give you quicker...
I fell for the 400 EC but there are a lot of 410's out there. Interior looks about the same. Outside seems to have lines more like the sundancer. Anyone have an idea of major differences. I would only get diesels. Any help would be great.
Hello all. Just wanted a recommendation for an electric (maybe rechargeable battery operated) air pump for an inflateable. Finally decided to go for the baltic after running into a guy with one over the weekend that has had it for 3 years with no problems. Any help would be appreciated.
have a 280da and am looking into dink options. Going with the Achilles 290 with the inflatable floor (light and easy to inflate/deflate) Wondering if anyone has stored like a 4hp outboard in the bilge area of the engine compartment. I dont have a generator there so I think I can fit it. (will...
I just posted this in a general forum but thought this might be a better place to ask.
Hello all, Found this forum a few weeks ago and have been lurking, reading, learning (also still unsure what move to make regarding dinks for a 280 DA).
Wife has it in her head to go out to Montauk this year...

Wife has it in her head to go out to Montauk this year. 2nd season with the boat and we have not really ventured anywhere far yet. Anyone...
