    Water in the boat

    I have a Sundancer 240 and the carpet in the bottom of the cabin is damp. I already traced the water line to the tank in the bow and it is not coming from there. It hasn't been in the water since the fall so it isn't a leak. I believe it may be coming from the bathroom but not sure. However in...

    Windlass

    I bought a sundancer 240 with an electrical windlass and it works great. I learned that there is supposed to be a handle that you use to hand crank the anchor up in the case that the winch does not work. It has a star fitting in the top of the winch for this a handle any idea where I can buy...

    Water in the cabin

    I have a Sea Ray 240 Sundancer and took it out crabbing the other day only to find water in the bottom of the Cabin enough to saturate the carpet. So this is my first boat where do I look for where it's coming from and how do I detect the leak. I guess I am asking for the short list of obvious...

    Dead outlets??

    I bought a Sea Ray Sundancer 240 in June. I had it surveyed and the surveyor caught that the outlets weren't powered so the instructions were to replace the first GFRC switch inside the rear compartment where the power comes in. The Marina said it was all fixed. Now that it is fall I went in to...

    JW Vacuflush sanitation system

    No I don't think there are any duckbill valves between the crapper and where I disconnected the line are there? Thanks for the diagram The red arrow shows where I disconnected and sucked from the hose there which would be the same way the waste flows. After I have opened this system up how long...

    JW Vacuflush sanitation system

    So I bought a Sea Ray Sundancer 240 and had a glorious trip to the San Juans in this gorgeous weather last weekend. I made the mistake of using too much paper and clogged the line between the toilet and the tank. I fixed that by disconnecting the hose form the unit and taped the hose of my shop...

    Merc 5.0 fuel pressure issue

    So I wish to update the latest on this saga. The Merc rep came by the marina and the ran more test. They found that the water coolant side of the cool fuel 3 was clogged with salt crystals. Therefore it was surmised that the unit froze and cracked because all the water was not drained. A new...

    Merc 5.0 fuel pressure issue

    So the bench test: First they could not get the pumps to pump anything but a dribble. Then they took them out of the housing and dipped them in fuel and the pumped like mad. Put them back in the housing and noticed that the O-ring for the filter did not seal so thinking that was where we were...

    Merc 5.0 fuel pressure issue

    So we did the clear tube test and air bubbles came from the pump back to the tank?? I would have expected the other way. No we have not drained the tank nor been away from the dock. I don't believe he is billshitting me here. Upon further discussion the pressure did drop also with their tank...

    Merc 5.0 fuel pressure issue

    I was reading a post in Iboat that talked about testing for an airbound/leaky system by placing a clear tube in the fuel line and looking for bubble. I assume air bubbles in the fuel like would lower the fuel pressure correct. I have been hanging around the boat yard quite a bit trying to leave...

    Merc 5.0 fuel pressure issue

    I do not know if it is a CF3. I do know the anti syphon valve is a brass coupler near the tank and was removed for a time to test if that was the problem.

    Merc 5.0 fuel pressure issue

    So I bought a boat first time out it dies on me. I wait 2 weeks to get it looked at at the marina. The mechanic has changed out the low pressure and the high pressure pumps as well as the fuel line itself. They say it runs on their tank hooked up directly to the pumps and cannot keep it running...

    I actually I have that on the boat now with a 9.9 horse on it. I was told that would be to far out of the water for a short shaft 6 horse. Maybe that guy was all wet lol. I am down sizing so I can use the 6 horse on the RIB also. Actually the very first time I took the boat out it quit on me. So...

    Faulty Kenyon Kiss butane stove

    Thanks so much Dave I will have to enquire at a marina as to my options then. So I take it butane is lighter and does not settle to the bottom of the boat. So a propane can cannot even be stored in the boat say for running the crab cooker on the beach some where? If not how about storing the can...
