    Cleaning the "mascara" marks off fiberglass.

    For some reason this summer I've been experiencing the "mascara black drip" marks way more than usual. Mainly around the snaps of the cockpit cover and all along the pinstriping. Cockpit cover area I get, but around the decals I really don't understand why. Oh well, my question is what is...

    Lift Hatch Gas Spring

    Have a '99 270 Sundancer. Manual states hatch struts are 26.3" extended x 16.1" compressed and 120 PSI. Maybe I'm dumb but every strut I located that would fit comes in different LBS, I understand thats the "amount" of force required to operate the strut but why is the manual listed as PSI...

    1999 Sundancer 270 cockpit lighting

    Planning on replacing/upgrading the cockpit lights and had a question on the wiring. Had a sub placed where one of the lights was previously located near the floor by drivers feet. Looking at the old wiring from the light, it looks like the other lights were all spliced together. It appears...

    Ignition Switch

    Need to replace ignition switch on my 99 270 sundancer. Is it really as easy just removing the old one and matching up the 4 wires on the appropiate posts?! Just curious if there's any surprises I'm not thinking about ahead of time. Other than the usual "easy job" that goes horribly wrong and...

    Safety Requirements

    Anyone have a good link to all the minimum coast guard safety requirements? Something that will explain in detail what is needed to a new boat owner that I can pass along? Trying to make it as simple as possible for them, like grab it all in one stop if possible. Especially new fire extinguisher...

    My boat was made in Arizona and the templates are not available for a new cover like the Tennessee boats (believe Tenn. is the correct state)I know going the local canvas shop is the quickest route but the prices I'm dealing with are 1,300-1,500 for material and then add on labor which is...

    Hot water heater/leaking hose issue.

    Have a 99 270DA, previous owner said hot water system is "bypassed" due to bottom of tank being rusted out. I'm assuming electrical is bypassed because water is leaking steadily from the hose with the arrow pointed at it only while motor is running. I was advised to disconnect 2 hoses from tank...
