    high temp warning at high speeds (3200-4200 rpm)

    Sea Ray Mike, I might be late to the party here but if you have a FWC system, meaning a heat exchanger tank, the heat exchanger tank can cause this exact problem and can usually be fixed by taking it off and flushing it out with muriatic acid or a soak at a good radiator shop. Broken pieces...

    Vitrifrigo DP2600 in 420/44DB?

    I put the DP2600 in a 380 Sundancer to replace the Nevercold and it is about 1.5 inches deeper. I made a wood trim spacer to fill the gap. It's a great frig, more cubic feet and really quiet. Al

    Wishing I was 30 again..

    Just remember being old beats the other alternative. Also, if you were 30 again you would receive NO social security money either, that account will be gone by then. lol Congrats on your new boat.

    38 Sundancer

    I've been paying $20/ft on a survey, so $23/ft doesn't sound out of line. I should mention you will be paying for a short haul out too if the boat wasn't already checked out of the water. The $700 to do a compression check and computer down load does sound excessive. I think I paid about $250...

    38 Sundancer

    Most surveyors will have the sample kits available if you ask them to do it but there is an increase in cost to cover the lab fees to get them processed. Al

    38 Sundancer

    Dino, I hit the reply button before I meant to tell you that there is a good 380 thread on the SportYachts/Yacht forum for the larger than 36' boats info. You really should read that and you'll get some good information on the model. I think the thread is about 95 pages now. Al

    38 Sundancer

    I would get the engines computer history downloaded to see how they were run and any problems that may have occurred. You might also want to take engine oil and antifreeze samples (including the generator), and transmission fluid samples. If the salon refrigerator is the original you are...

    Best way to get water pumping on Air.Cond?

    highlife34, I went back to the beginning of this thread and saw that garmett had started it and just wanted to make sure you were having the same problem. It appears so, prior to taking the boat out for a cruise did you make sure the AC thru hull was open and also check to make sure the sea...

    Starter slave cylinder location

    Lugnutz, http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/72053-Starter-Slave-Solenoid-1998-7-4-MPI This is probably what you are looking for IF they are on your motors. I had a 30 Express from that era and I had trouble with the neutral safety start switches that I think were located on the transmission...

    compare 96 -98 sundancer 370

    With out getting into every year and model of what you are looking for, let's keep it simple. For your $100K cap the most boat for the money will most likely be the 380 Sundancer and probably a 1999 to 2000 model year for that price, You'll pick up the most beam and room with it. They don't...

    1988 270 Sundancer Adding AC

    tab283, Many years ago, I put a 10K AC/HT unit in a 270 Sundancer and made one large wood plenum box that I attached to the vertical bulkhead seperating the v-berth and the living space. I can't remember the dimensions but I talked to an AC guy to make sure it would flow enough air to do the...

    Best way to get water pumping on Air.Cond?

    If you have the thru hull open and take the boat out for a cruise that will do it or you can put water in the AC water discharge fitting on the outside of the hull with a garden hose while you are at the dock. You said easy and these are, plus they usually work. If you have easy access to your...

    TV removal from 380 Sundancer

    I've got a 2000 380 that I changed the TV out above the refrigerator. If I remember correctly, that black vinyl trim piece has the plastic pins in them to hold it to the base. Make sure there are no screws holding it and take a putty knife, or small screw driver to pry it up. They should stay...

    Official 390DA Thread

    I had a 2004 390 8.1L for a couple of seasons. At a minimum the aluminum risers along with the manifolds should have been changed out by now. When I bought it used I had the engine computers down loaded as part of the survey and this will show all the history on the engines and how they were...

    Backup Camera on a Sundancer 380

    I've had my 380 for a couple of years now and have never been in any docking situation where I thought a back up camera would have made a difference. I could see putting one on a sedan bridge but not a Sundancer. If you've only had the boat for a little while, I would use the boat for a full...

    1989 Weekender Gnerator Fuel tank

    Welcome to the site. I had a 300 Weekender with twin 260HPs and it was a great boat. You can just follow the rubber fuel line on the generator fuel pump back to the fuel tank. If it's a factory installed generator, if I remember correctly they used to put the Fram orange colored fuel filter...

    Trying to buy 2014 330 Dancer. Keyword.. Trying

    It looks like you have limited your search to a new boat only. I would expand the search to a used low hour well maintained Sea Ray in the 32' to 35' range. You'll get more value for your money and probably wind up with something a little bigger than what you were going to spend on a new...
