    1994-95 440 Express Bridge

    These boats came with one 50 amp AC connection and one 30 amp AC connection. 1) Why? 2) If I only were to connect one of the two would it be able to provide service to all of the boat's AC apparatus - that is assuming that I manage the amp draw and don't excede (-) 30 or...

    Great Reading 8/07 to 8/10

    I have a '97 330 Sundancer and have lurked around here for about three years. The Admiral has fallen in love with my neighbor's 1992 Sea Ray 440 Express Bridge with 3116 cats showing less than 500 hours. Because of the well presented knowledge here over the last several years I have...

    1992-'94 Express Bridge

    I have a 330 SD. The Admiral has expressed an interest in a '92-'94 EB with 3116 Cats showing 500 hours. I spoke with an owner of a later model ('98-'99). He had two "knocks" on the boat. He wishes he had done a better job of surveying the engines as he is out $18,000. for one replacement. Ouch...

    No DC Current

    My 1997 330 sundancer is stone dead on the starboard direct current side. The toggle switch on the electric panel shows 14 volts on port and the port engine starter gets juice. The panel shows zero on the starboard side and that starter gets no juice. I won't be back to the boat 'til Friday. I...

    1997 330 SD-speakers

    I have the standard issue Clarian set-up. I would like to replace the two speakers at the helm. The boat is tucked away for the winter and I can't easily get to it. Can anyone tell what size the speakers are? I think it is something like 6 inches. Thanks.

    Engine Temp

    My 1997 SD 330 has Merc 454s-no genny and does not carry a lot of extra weight. I just had the impellers replaced. The engine temp on both engines is still 175 degrees after warm-up and running at 3300 rpm. They have about 400 hours on them. That seems hot to me. Should I be concerned?

    Brunswick/MarineMax

    I think both will be in bankruptcy next year. On July 6th Richard DuPrey reported in Motley Fool Stock Advisor that Brunswick continues to pile up losses and rollover long term debt. MarineMax and West don't look any better. Buying needed parts while we can might be a good idea.

    '97 330DA Battery Problem

    I do not have a genny. My batteries are located: two under the cockpit seat with two Guest on/off switches as well, a third, slightly smaller battery is just starboard of the starboard engine. The two batteries appear to be wired in series (I think!) My problem is that the port battery doesn't...

    330 SD fuel filter

    When changing the fuel filter on the starboard 454 the mounting board tore up. This is the one that is to your right hand as you face foreward- tucked in just under the hatch opening; forward right. It was dark and I may have just overpowered it when twisting the filter or it might have...

    1997 330SD head latch and lock

    Am I missing something? If the head door is open and a grandchild turns the lock to the locked position AND the port is dogged down AND the child slams the door leaving no one in the head; how do we open the door? The latch/lock is attached to the door with hardware that is on the inside.

    1997 330SD Plumbing

    Looking forward between the two 454s there is a bulkhead.There are some holes in the bulkhead to accomodate various items. Some are plumbing "pipes". Is there a way to get to the plumbing on the other side of the bulkhead? Thanks.

    '98 330SD Impellers

    I have twin Merc 454s with V-Drives. The impellers are overdue to be changed. I know how to change them on Crusader 502s. I had a boat with lots of room to work. The 330 has none. On the other boat I would take the water pump off its bracket and leave the hoses attached to the water pump. Next...

    1997 330 Sundancer

    I haven't seen the boat for a few weeks and am not sure how to advise someone who is looking at Sea Rays. While standing at the helm is there 6' 5" of head room? I know there is in front of the sliding hatch but after steping up how much is there? My boat has the standard camper back. Was...

    '97 330DA Fresh water leak

    Before I go bilge diving do any of you have a guess where the leak is? I don't use the water tank. Water and pressure come from the dock by hose attached to the transom. The leak is evidenced by periodic operation of the bilge pump ONLY while dock water is turned on. I looked at where the hose...

    Tach runs times 2

    I have 454 Mercs with two tachs and a "sync" gage. The starboard tach has started showing big numbers, about double what is really happening. At the same time the "sync" gage is OK. Port tach appears fine. Anyone know what to do? Thanks.

    1997 330 DA- Galley storage door

    The sliding door just behind the stove top is jammed by whatever I put in there. I hope it doesn't rot! Any ideas on how to get it open? I think I'll have THE ADMIRAL give it another try while I get the bow up during start up acceleration.

    1997 330DA Door to Head

    There are two air vents at the bottom of the door that allow a fair amount of water to spill out on the cabin floor when showering. Is there any reason I shouldn't install a louver on the inside to keep the water in the head?

    330DA impeller

    I have carbed 454s. Can anyone tell me what impeller or impeller kit to buy. I'm about to start a two week trip and would like to carry some spare parts. Thanks, JS
