Can anyone recommend an affordable and easy to install security system?

I'm pretty sure I have this right, but thought I would double check here. My 330 DA should have only 3 zincs; 1 on each trim tab, and 1 hull zinc. Isn't that correct? I know that a lot of people also recommend putting zincs on the shafts and I'm going to do that at the next haul out, but...

Hey, I just ordered this cool washer and thought I would pass the information along. Lora and I can't be the only one's who wish they had a washing machine on board. This little guy gets great reviews and was recently reviewed in one of the boating mags that I get...

Hey, Has anyone found a better way to secure their boat. The door locks that come factory installed wouldn't stop anyone. Has anyone figured out a way to lock the main door with a better lock. I know there's no way to keep out a persistent crook, but a better lock would certainly help...

Has anyone (dumb question, I know) replaced one of those 10w halogen bulbs in the cabin reading lights? There's a clear plastic lens that covers the bulb. Do you pop that clear lens out or does the whole plastic barrel come off to give access to the bulb? I've popped the clear lens out on a...

Hello, Just last weekend my fresh water level indicator started reading "Full" no matter how much water is in the tank. This coming weekend I'm going to have to get access to the tank and try and diagnose the problem. Has anyone worked on one a water tank sender on a 1997 330 sundancer...

I've seen other post about bulb replacement, but thought this was a little different. I've been wanting to replace all my lights including my nav lights with LEDs to pull a fraction of the watts. However, when you go into the boat stores, it'll cost a small fortune to replace all your lights...

Hello, I just got a quote for a new camper back and wanted to see what other's thought about this price. I have a 1997 330 Sundancer with a factory installed fastback canvas. My wife (& friends) do a lot of weekend cruising and the fastback just wasn't cutting it for us. We really wanted a...

Hey, My wife and I keep our boat in Key West and are always interested in chatting about cool new places to go down here. Are there any other Keys members here? Maybe we could hook up for a drink or two. See my links below for photos and blog.

Hello, Periodically, I use divers to go down and clean the bottom of my boat in between bottom paint jobs. I've always wondered if this was bad for the boat or caused the bottom paint to not last as long. What are other people's feeling about this?

Hello, My raw water intake is clogged on one of my engines. The clog is between the outside of the boat and the raw water strainer. I'm having a diver go down this week to clean the bottom of the boat and to make sure all the sea intakes are not blocked. However, if there is still a...

Hello, I have 2 RPM guages and neither is working. Here's what I know so far. The engine hour meter on both guages is working and keeping good time. The port RPM guage will work after you knock on it a few times. At least it'll work for a short time and then stop. The starboard guage will...

Hello, I'm told that my dripless shaft seals are no longer dripless. I'm also being told that they have to lift my engines up out of the boat in order to change the seals. My boat, Firefly, is a 1997 330 Sundancer with 7.4L MPI enginges. My question is: is that really true? Do they...
