    Fridge Keeps Tripping Breaker

    Our fridge is acting up. On shore power it sets then pops after about 2 seconds. Amp meter on AC panel shows a huge spike. On DC panel it does the same thing. I tried using the generator and the draw it puts on that is audible…huge draw! Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Vacuflush Problems

    I can't hear anything going on when you push the foot pedal other than the water entering the bowl. Does that suggest a bad motor???

    Vacuflush Problems

    Hey everyone!! Hope this ask finds you on your boats and enjoying a cold beverage!! My vacuflush system is not flushing. It fills with water but won't empty with the foot pedal. The tank is empty but my maceration system has somehow been energized (seacock is closed but the light is on). Is...

    Low Idle

    Got a problem on my SeaRay 340 (2004). She has the 6.2 Mercs installed. When started, and at any point when at idle, my rpms on both sides are running around 525-560. I get a lot of gear rattle when trying to leave/enter marinas and stall out regularly if underway. Is there a way to increase...

    Starboard engine problems/screaming

    Thanks to everyone for the information. Had mechanic check it and it was the raw water pump. It had seized and the belt was screeching around the pulley. Old pumps were the mercruiser types. Pulled and replaced both pumps with the rebuildable, stainless steel ones I purchased from Fisheries...

    Starboard engine problems/screaming

    Thanks to both of you for your replies. Do you suggest replacing both so I don't go thru this again or just r/r the pump and belt so we can get on the water!!! Do you have any suggestions on best type of pump to put in?? Not impressed with MerCruiser products. Spent 14k+ on the hard two weeks...

    Starboard engine problems/screaming

    Was backing the boat out of boathouse today and the engine quit. With wind and outgoing current we managed to get her back to the slip with a few expletives to accompany our re-entry adventure. Predeparture checks were good..fluids, belts etc. Both engines were producing water after start...

    Official 2003.5-2008 340 Sundancer Thread

    Anyone install AIS..was wondering if it can be incorporated into RayMarine Touch radar screen or if it needs it's own space on the dash. Also, is it overkill or are rules and regs moving towards the incorporation of this system for vessel safety and separation reasons. Any insights????

    2004 Sundancer 340

    Thanks..much appreciated!! I have never heard people sounding the horn leaving the dock/berth but wasn't sure..I'll probably do it to follow the intent of the rule and see how it plays out. Rule of tonnage is a good one..does that fall into vessels restricted in her ability to maneuver?? I am...

    2004 Sundancer 340

    I have been doing a lot of reading on Rules of the Road and the COLREGS. Do most people abide by them? I know there is a lot of room out there but I also KNOW that I will run into situations that will come down to decisive action on one, two or more vessels...pretty intimidating to say the...
