So since you are in a water problems thread maybe you are interested in this. I did try the above, and that isn't what led to a solution, but I learned something anyway. My tech says that my boat, and most boats, have water systems rated for 20-30 psi. My particular marina's shore water...
PROBLEM SOLVED
So according to the tech, the pressure relief valve at the Hot Water Heater was somehow stuck in the open position. He has ordered a new one, but in the meantime the old one (having been removed and examined) is now 'unstuck' and working, since I no longer lose fresh water.
As...
Hi guys sorry about silence (notice post #30 I was away on other matters).
3 things have been learned:
1. I had a tech over to install a new impeller and he took an initial look..my cooling system is closed loop, so what I thought was the most likely answer seems to have been ruled out.
2...
You guys make a lot of sense on this. I am going to try this bypass. Unfortunately I am not back at the boat for about 10 days but I am anxious to try this.
Yep, right tank. After filling the lights say full. 60-90min later it is at 3/4. Another 30-60 min later it is at 1/2.
I agree it is a LOT of water. Since buying the boat i have pumped out once but somehow filled the fresh water 6 times. It is so puzzling. The system HAS to be leaking...
Couldn't agree more. I am new to cruisers but not boats and outboards just make SO much sense. If I was buying new it is the only way I'd go, but yeah swim platform is nice.
Great ideas from everyone, thanks
I am on the boat now and trying stuff
It does not lose fresh water volume if the water pump is off
With the pump turned on, it does cycle for 30 seconds every five minutes or so. I would think think this indicates a leak somewhere but damned if i can find it...
Hi All
CSR members have been great with my questions already. Awesome community.
Just got a 2001 Sundancer 310. Boating on Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching. Will do some travel on the Trent-Severn.
Grew up on and around boats. As a kid my parents had a 40' Schooner and then a 26' Trojan...
Hello all
So I have a lot to learn about this boat. Unfortunately it came with no documentation of any kind. THe SeaRay.com site doesn't even have a manual for my boat!
2001 Sundancer 310. V-Drive.
I tried a google search but wasn't successful. Does anyone have a manual for this boat?
Thanks
New owner of a 2001 Sundancer 310 here. I am baffled by the fresh water tank.
It was full when I bought it three weeks ago, and depleted slowly, at an expected rate with use.
Refilled last night; empty this morning. Thought maybe the AC used it all.
Refilled this morning..half empty a...
I went to the boat. The Hull number on the transom definitely indicates an '01 Sea Ray. The Vessel's registration is the other number, indicating a '97 Cruisers. Crazy. I'll register with the real number.
Canada has a website where you can run a hull or registration number to see if it's...
Really interesting stuff. I've inspected the boat and had a survey done but we are just closing today so I'll check the hull number personally tonight or tomorrow. THanks everyone.
thanks
Crazy stuff. Seems certain that 2 sellers ago he got it wrong. It's the only boat my Seller every...
I think the likeliest answer is that someone filled in the wrong hull number on the registration years ago. This is the only boat my Seller has owner, but who knows prior to him. I'll see the boat tonight so I can check it out.
haha no kidding.
I can't wait to unravel this mystery.
Weird things happen. When he was age 4, we discovered our son's birth was completely unregistered. Gov didn't know he existed, somehow. This is in 2004, not the dark ages. He should have pursued a career as a secret agent. Instead he...
