Not for nothing, but I had this same problem last summer in my 370 DA. It turned out to be a clogged drain to aft A/C unit so that collected condensation oveflowed the tray and ran onto the aft floor. I used a wet/dry vac to suck the line in the mid-cabin bilge sump to pull the clog out.

I have just gotten the site back up as I was unaware (preoccupied) that it was offline for so long. I have a boatload of material (pun intended) to add to the site...
Can you trace where they go to the engines? On my old boat, I installed taps in the oil pans to allow a quick change of the engine oil by draining them through hoses that look just like those two. Granted, I had the luxury of installing those hoses when I was re-powering the boat with two new...
I am still out here but have suffered a large number of medical issues that have kept me from updating the site or doing much in the way of boating. For the last six months, I have been working on trying to get retired which hopefully will allow me more time to do both. I just checked the site...
You don’t have to change out the entire control head. You can change out the knobs to fit the style you want. I changed out the black plastic covered T-handles for polished stainless steel. I don’t remember where i got them, but this link takes you to some of the options available...
Templates for canvas?
Setting up the boat this spring, we discovered that someone had stolen our Bimini top (forward of the arch) and one section of our camper canvas. I sincerely doubt that the thieves had any real use for it except maybe to carry away items stolen from other boats during the...
Granted, my boat made the trip from Palm Beach, Fl to CT on a trailer when we first got it. We didn’t remove the arch and the running gear was intact raised high enough above the road, but I can’t imagine that regularly transporting the boat on a trailer is good for a vessel that heavy and that...
This is the one I have purchased off Amazon twice now and it works well.

Rubber Duckee
This diagram shows an overall height of 11'4" and the diagram I have on the 370sundancercom website shows an overall height of 12'1" so that suggests the difference in arch height from the 944-96 models and the '97-'99 models might be 9" which seems excessive. I thought the arch had been raised 6".
Yeah, crazy. There are two videos on The Qualified Caption Instagram feed. https://www.instagram.com/thequalifiedcaptain/ The video here and the other two are from different angles. To be filmed like that, there must have been hotdogging toning on before the filming started.

Bottom Blasting
So I've owned my 370 now long enough that it is probably time to get the bottom blasted and strip off the old bottom paint. Since I've had Rubber Duckee, I've only used ablative paint, so most of it wears off every year with use, but not all of it. No final decision yet, but...
I seem to get by with two cases of Pink (12 gallons) between the engines, water system and A/C and a little in the head mixed with a little SaltAway. Antifreeze in the engines (coolant) is untouched except a refresh every couple of years.

Clearly not standard equipment. It looks like a hold-down clip of some sort. May be to hold the electrical or cable cord onto the side of the boat? OR something o do with the canvas?
Thanks for the shout out. This is no labor for me. I started on the precursor to this site in the search or...
IMHO the 370 is the best between the 360 and the 380, but I would say that since i have one. But there are quite a few differences between the early (95-97) 370’s and the last 370’s (98 and a few ‘99’s). At the end of the run ‘98/‘99, Sea Ray threw almost all the options at owners to make the...
Did you check the sea strainer to see if it clogged? I clean mine out periodically especially if it has been a while since I have taken the boat out.
The other problem may be that the pump has lost prime and is not getting water from he sea strainer to pump. I have not had that problem, but a...
Got the same advice form a friend who runs a company outfitting the big boys with electronics of all types. Faster, cheaper, and faster/cheaper that works. Off to West’s this week to buy a fleet of batteries.
Thanks for the feedback.
