    Engine temp question and issues

    I have a 2007 Sundancer 40 DA. Last year and this year the port engine always seems to run about 6 degrees hotter than the starboard. I cruise normally at about 2200-2400 rpms and it hits 190 or so on the port and 184 on the starboard. If I go any faster alarms go off. AT first I thought it...

    Idler pulley issues with discontinued parts (raw water pump belt)

    I am in a real jam and it sucks that cummins cant do anything, at least my local cummins dealer tells me that. This is related to the raw water pump belt. The idler pulley and shaft along with the tension bolt went bad on me when the lock nut stripped. I rigged it by putting something to hold...

    Adding boat lift for my 40 foot sundancer

    I have been thinking lately about adding a boat lift for my 2007 Searay Sundancer. As it gets older it has a few more issues. And one issue lately is my Airmar transducer. It is something I could probably do myself if the boat is on a lift. I also of course would save 160 a month bottom...

    Transmission/Steering?

    So I brought my boat in to the dealership I bought it at (Marine Max) to get my battery charger replaced. I had another thread trying to figure out what was wrong. My normal repair places are booked 3 months out as everyone is short handed. So I got it in there before leaving for Vegas...

    Mastervolt Powercharger failure

    I will always take my 40 sundancer out for a few hour run every other week at the least if I am not using it regularly. Well the other day was 2 weeks and when I turned the ignition switch on to warm up I get an alarm. Batteries are dead. After looking I see my Mastervolt 12/40-3 is blinking...

    Exhaust Flapper

    I have seen several topics on this although a little older so have a question or 2 to ask. I just noticed today my flapper is missing on my starboard side. Not sure how long it has been as it really isnt something I inspect daily other than to make sure water flow is coming out. Anyway I feel...

    I have had some minor issues battery related. So I replaced my 2 Bow thruster batteries and now need to repalce a wire on my thruster motor. But other than that I tested and all of my other batteries are over 13 volts. I have 2 for each motor. I know 2 of those are for starting and the...

    Batteries and chargers

    I am not the most mechanical person and can only do small things. About 6-8 months ago I had someone change my 6 batteries mainly because it is too darn hard for me to get under there and my 60 year old body just cant do it. But anyway to the point. the 4 batteries-2 port and 2 starboard are...

    Battery Issues

    Hello everyone! This is been a rough year with no income and then boat repairs and a new seawall to be paid for. But I have a simple (for some of you ) question. I was out of town when my seawall was being built. The guys had to disconnect my electric so they ended up disconnecting my shore...

    Replacing Raymarine E 120

    I believe I have the E120 Chart plotter. It may be C120 as I dont have my packet with me. I have the Raymarine Radar also. I am looking to upgrade from the original E120 I got with my boat in 2007. I am not literate on this subject. I would like it to be a plug and play or easy installation and...

    Bow Thrusters

    Well after getting a full "lookover" along with getting my after coolers replaced I am about to pay a big bill close to 10k. I cant gripe too much as the original after coolers lasted 11 years. I am just now learning how to do a bunch of my own work since retired. But after they finished up 2...

    Heat Exchanger Gasket

    I am doing some routine maintenance to get ready for another trip. I noticed I have a leak from the end cap of the heat exchanger on port engine. I ordered 2 gaskets and washers. It looks like a simple job as long as I dont have to clean the plate. I do know what looks simple is not always...
