    2007 Sea Ray 300 Sundancer

    I think that they could be designed to list slightly to port since all the seating is on the starboard side?

    Definitely would struggle. The minimum for these is twin 5.0s imho.

    Just to be clear, this is only required to get ‘over the hump’ onto the plane not once you get up on the plane.

    Thanks for making the point Mitch. Everyone please take that onboard. I would not like to advocate anything either dangerous or illegal. It’s not illegal here in Australia & we wouldn’t have anyone on deck in any rough conditions. None of my crew have less than 30 years experience & we all take...

    Mainly to make it easier to get up but it does run better on the plane as well. We’re in Australia so my wife & others prefer to spend most of the time on the deck when running anyway. Even one person moved from the back seat up onto the deck is all you need unless you have 6 or more onboard...

    Mine is the same, fully optioned but with 5.0s. She’ll struggle getting up onto the plane with more than 4 seated in the cockpit but if you have a couple up on deck the 5.0s do it fine. The secret with these is to overcome the aft heavy weight balance, it’s amazing how much difference it makes...

    You don’t need the specific Sea Ray part. They are just a standard 3 inch rudder zinc. You can get them at any marine store. They’re sold as a pair to go either side of a rudder so You’ll need an extra bolt.

    I have an 06 300 DA in Australia. We are a family of 4 with adult children, there is plenty of space in the cockpit. We run out in the ocean regularly with 2m swells & it eats it up, it’s way better in rough water than I expected. It is true that they don’t like to hold a plane very slow which...

    Leaking front hatch

    ‘06 300DA front hatch is leaking. It drips out of the front left corner even for a long time after rain stops. I’m going to replace the gasket tomorrow. Can anyone confirm that’s likely to be the problem as I’m worried I might have to reseal the whole hatch to deck? Thanks.

    300 DA stiff throttle

    I also have a 2006 & am about to work through this. I could not find the elusive friction adjustment screw in the binnacle.

    I assumed that was how they were. My ‘06 has the same but they will lock if nipped up quite hard.

    Most often we are running with 4 adults & it doesn’t have a noticeable list when at rest or cruising at displacement speeds. They’re surprisingly heavy & a lot Beamer than a 280 for instance.

    Running Bravo3s tilted up

    Advice please: Is it okay to idle over a shallow spot with B3 legs tilted half up? My mechanic advised me never to do that but the manual says it’s okay at low revs. Thanks.

    Anchor windless switch covers sealing

    The pair of foot switches on the bow I mean. The lower ring isn’t bedded/caulked/sealed at all.

    Anchor windless switch covers sealing

    Folks, I’m replacing my switch covers & rings on my ‘06 300 DA. There is no sealer between the ring & deck. I’m inclined to run silicone under the ring. Okay? Thanks for your advice. Happy Easter all.

    Looks great. Good to hear as I’ll be attacking mine in the next two weeks.

    As I understand it, irrespective of number of blades, you’ve gone down 2” in pitch so that’s like changing down to a slightly lower gear so that’s what I would expect. Are you getting much faster acceleration though?
