When we bought our used 310DA, the dealership provided a half-day instruction with Jeff Perfater. I recommend him highly. See: http://www.safenav.org

I have the same issue on a 2001 310DA. Apologies in advance for asking a NOOB question, but how do you pull the tach out from the instrument panel?

I had that issue, when the pump was cycling on/off without any water being used. Had it repaired. This is slightly different problem. I guess my question is, if I turn a faucet on and use (literally) 1 ounce of water, should the pump come on to repressurize? And if I do that every 30 seconds...

I am a new owner of a 2001 310DA and think I have an issue. My pump shuts off and holds pressure fine, but if I turn any water on, even at a trickle, the pump instantly turns back on to pressurize, then turns off. In other words, if I turn a faucet on trickling for 20 seconds, the pump will...

I can't add much to what everyone has said, but here is my story. I owned 19' Chaparral bow riders for 25+ years. Great boats and raised the family with it doing water sports/recreation. Kids are now in college/grown, and so my wife and I wanted to try a cruiser. We went with a 2001 310DA as a...

Quick question from a newbie. I noticed the overhead recessed "can" lights in the cabin have both AC and DC light bulbs. Is there any advantage/reason to ever use AC? Since the switches as you enter the cabin control all the DC, I just always leave all on DC, for easy use. What am I missing?

Thanks - but the links in that other thread to dropbox appear broken. We are certainly OK with anything other than what we've got, but I'm not really a DIY, especially when reading some of the threads of how much prep work is required for the subfloor. I just don't have that skill set.

I saw you had asked another member for a template to replace the carpet? Did he ever respond, and/or did you ever do anything with your 310? We just bought a 2001, and the wife says the carpet has gotta go! Thanks. PS: I'd be glad to pay him/you for the template as well, if we head down this path.

We just purchased a 2001 310DA, and the first thing my wife said was, "this carpet has GOT to go!". Each of those options look very nice, and I realize our boat is smaller, but can you guys provide a ballpark price for someone who (unfortunately) is NOT a DIY?

I’ve always heard you’ll have a little better acceleration out of the hole and a little higher top end speed. But if you ever hit something on the bottom, rather than simply destroying a relatively cheap (aluminum) prop, you could destroy the whole out drive.

Thanks everyone. That's what I expected -- just wanted to be sure.

Thanks dtfeld - I'm on Lanier as well, and the few places we occasionally beach have pretty steep drop offs - hence the question. I assumed it would be OK, but wanted to check for sure.

You guys have been super helpful with a couple other newbie questions, so I appreciate your thoughts on one more. I live on a pretty deep fresh water lake, which has fairly steep slopes from shore. With my current 20 foot bow rider, when anchoring just off shore, I drop about 20' of line in...

Thanks to all for the great tips. Sounds like a pretty easy solution.

Thanks for all the advice. I just checked briefly and it appears Lake Lanier in the middle of winter can get down to 45-50, which is maybe too close for comfort. I also asked my surveyor who indicated water in the transom shower hose will likely freeze regardless, so winterizing may be...

I'm considering my first purchase of a boat with a cabin (2001 310 Sundancer). I live in Atlanta, so we can boat nearly all year round, if desired (Lake Lanier). The salesman indicated that we could leave the cabin heated during the winter time, since it's always plugged into shore power, or...

First post by a newbie to larger boats. I just had a 310DA surveyed, but he didn't check the water system because the boat had been winterized (Lake Lanier, Georgia). I hesitate to purchase without knowing whether that system is fully functional, but I've also learned it appears to be quite the...
