    Wifi Enabled Devices

    Our yacht club has crappy Internet, so Starlink has been a game changer. I've started installing wifi enabled devices--which are 10 times cheaper than the 'marine' monitoring devices--for purposes of monitoring temp and humidity. I've been using the Govee brand products. I was going to add a...

    Updated Stereo install Thx to Masterfab

    Dale made me a new teak panel for the stereo. Got rid of the disc changer and put in a recessed power strip.

    LB Harvey Marine--Searchlight Repair

    I am passing along a terrific vendor if your Jabsco Searchlight is not working 100% or just needs a refurb. I am NOT affiliated with these guys in any respect and am not receiving any remuneration for this recommendation. When I find a good vendor for my Sea Ray 340 Sundancer, I like to pass...

    So Cal Winter Boating

    Took the boat to Oceanside for Xmas from Marina Del Rey. Glass and 70 degrees. Not too shabby, other than the fuel tab. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/BFvTmV0pTGChzSL2gb4BRQ.8ufgmR4M5-W4dse6ZyzHDO

    2001 340 Sundancer Lofran Progress 1 Finger Repair

    Last season, the stud holding the pressure finger on my windlass broke off. Luckily, I was able to save the finger (if you weren't able to save the finger, the entire kit is available at www.p2marine.com). This is a very common problem with these windlasses. I successfully repaired it and...

    Never used, still in box OEM cockpit cover

    When I bought my 2001 340 DA Sundancer in 2019 I bought an oem cockpit cover from rnr marine. The color is Toast Tweed. I've never used it and just got through replacing the isenglass on the windshield and side curtains, along with a wraparound canvas cover. In short, I don't think I'll ever...

    Mercury 8.2l Horizon ECF Overtemp Alarm

    I repowered in 2019 with 2 Mercury 8.2l Horizon big blocks. I flush them religiously. The boat's been sitting for a couple of months. Took it out to putt putt around the harbor for the annual holiday boat parade and had an overtemp alarm on the starboard engine. Vessel view showed the temp...

    Lightly Used Tridata ST60 Off of 2001 340 Sundancer

    I upgraded my panel and replaced the ST60 with a new Simrad unit. This was a lightly used display that spent most of its days covered (the boat only had 180 hours when I purchased it in February 2019). No cords, just the display, the mounting screws and the cover. Looks like these are going...

    2001 340 Sundancer Transom Leak Conundrum

    Looking for anyone that has experienced this issue. I've included a link to three photos below and a video. Long story short, on the interior of the transom right to the outside of each stringer, I've got a small hole that weeps water. It's about the same spot on both sides. I've had the...

    Get My Boat App

    I was just curious as to whether anyone has tried this app from the boat owner side. I was recently in Cabo and booked 4 hours on a SeaRay 320 (a lot of SeaRays down there for charter). I found the process to be very straightforward and easy. When I got home, I started looking into it. They...

    Another upgrade from Masterfab

    I know there are many that have done creative things with the pull out TV space on the 340 Sundancers. Here's what Dale (@MasterFab) put together for my 340. Functional and beautiful!

    DO NOT INSURE YOUR BOAT WITH PROGRESSIVE

    All: I'm presently fighting with Progressive over a prop strike on a 340 Sundancer that broke the propeller shaft. They now twice denied the claim. As a lawyer, I plan to sue them out of principal. I will be updating this thread with pictures, etc. Through this process, however, I have come...

    New Teak trim by MasterFab

    I purchased a used 2001 340 Sundancer DA and saw MasterFab's 340 restoration blog. While mine didn't require all the work that Dale did on his 340, the teak trim looked great. I called Dale and ordered pieces for my boat. Beautiful work (I included the before and afters).

    7.4 MPIs to NMEA 2000

    My last boat (Maxum 2800 SCR) had a 7.4 MPI motor, which has the MEFI3 ECM. I looked high and low for an easy means to obtain the engine data for my NMEA 2000 network. The answer was this product: https://fox-marine.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=81 It was a breeze to install and...

    Repowering with DTS and keeping existing manual shift transmissions

    Writing to share a little known fact, that even Mercury Marine appears to be unaware of. I purchased a never used and well maintained 2001 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer with the 7.4 MPI V-drive set up, from the original owner's family (he had recently past). The boat had 180 hours on it. While...
