    2007 Sea Ray 300 Sundancer

    FYI, our fresh water tank is centerline, in the aft cabin. Mine starts listing to port at the dock when the black tank is at half or more, otherwise sits pretty even, no matter how much beer is in the galley fridge. As for running on plane, I'm definitely running some port tab to fly straight...

    Brand new 8.2L H.O. Not performing as expected

    No help but I feel your pain. 3 years ago, I replaced a pair of 5.7s w/260hp ea to a pair of 383s w/350 ea. None of my performance numbers improved and I had to prop down from 22p to 20p to get close to the bottom of the recommended wot range. Still not happy.

    Also, during the same Memorial weekend, my hot water tank decided to boil water out the overboard drain. Water and steam were pouring out with authority. Thought it was the pressure relief valve that I replaced weeks earlier. Nope. So, we have 2 thermostats on these tanks. A normal 140° and a...

    I recently replaced my vhf antenna because I was loosing all of the coating on the leading edge. To help me gain access to that area for cable pull, I removed the throttle quad and in the process pulling it up, I broke one of the 2 neutral safety switches. Luckily port side switch, easier...

    Nice. My stbd gauge shows about 1/4 less at anything other than full. Fueling up, the difference is only around 5 or so gallons. Were the senders easy enough to get to and pull out?

    Our new to us 300DA

    I crank mine up when showering, they get loud. Make sure the amp for the cockpit speakers is off, otherwise everyone will hear your bathroom jams. Might have to play with fade or something.

    383 Mag Stroker: Location of 10-pin harness for SmartConnect

    I'm using an older Samsung 10" tablet. It's able to split screen the vessel view data and Navionics. The setup I have is: a cable comes off of each engine to junction boxes and data gets bluetoothed out. I could also run a cable to the dash to power any SmartCraft gauges, but I'm not so...

    383 Mag Stroker: Location of 10-pin harness for SmartConnect

    Hey Kirby, look towards the aft (bell housing side) on top. If I remember right, that's where it's located. I think it's purple colored. My 2002 300DA is pre SmartCraft so I use vessel mobile on a 10" tablet on the dash. I love the data! Joe

    Broken weld on cabin/salon step

    I have "had" a broken weld on my '02 300. The P.O. had it repaired and added an additional brace. I'll try and remember to take a pic tomorrow if I get my boat back from a pair transom assemblies replacement.

    300 Sundancer Dash Color

    So, it is nice to have newer/low hour engines and accessories, with a known maintenance history. Coming from the original 5.7s w/TBI (260hp, I've heard measured at the prop back in the day), the performance gains are minimal.

    300 Sundancer Dash Color

    I have an '02 as well and I have the same layout. Large Speedo in center and a small sync gauge below it flanked by fuel gauges.

    I run with a 4' rod holder mounted flag pole with a 2'x3' 'Ol Glory. PO had installed 2 rod holders in the aft Port and Starboard gunnels. While stationary, I fly a 6' pole with a 3'x5'. I use clamp on rod holders on the bimini support for the big one. Both from...

    340 Camper Enclosure

    I use some flat sheets between a couple of like-size pieces and generously roll them up.

    I do not like the factory camper. Huge blind spot to either aft port or starboard while backing up. Will have a local canvas guy redo and isinglass all around.

    That's funny, I have the the "premium sound system" as well, but I only have a clarion 480 (4ch) ampl under the v berth stbd side for the cockpit and sub. Mine is an early built in 2001 2002-2007.

    The P.O. of my boat had the welds redone on the middle and lower step. It looks like they added a brace as well. As for removal, there are 2 trim pieces to remove and it exposes the upper mount hardware.
