    Official 330 Sundancer Thread

    No screws in the aft cabin bolsters. The forward cabin had them though and were easy to get out. I tried all angles I could think of for an hour and still could not get the seat cushion out.

    Official 330 Sundancer Thread

    I am trying to remove my rear seat in the aft cabin of my 1996 33 SD. It is too wide to get out. It will lift up but will not clear the bolsters on the sides to completely remove. Seems to me the bolsters have to come out. It looks like the bolsters are held in with screws from the other side of...

    I am trying to remove my rear seat in the aft cabin of my 1996 33 SD. It is too big to get out. It will lift up but will not clear the bolsters on the sides to completely remove. It looks like the bolsters are held in with screws from the other side of the panel it is attached to and I am...

    Official 330 Sundancer Thread

    Replaced my noisey "Nevercold" with a Vitrofrigo 2 years ago. The Vitrofrigo is dead quiet when running. Very happy with it. Took the Norcold out in pieces. Took the sliding cabin door of to get the Vitrofrigo in.

    Official 330 Sundancer Thread

    The same noise happens to me from time to time. Always seems to be the starboard side. A friend told me maybe the muffler is not getting enough water because of a weak impeller. The impellers were new last fall. Gauges are all normal and boat runs fine. Any more thoughts on this subject? Thanks,

    96 330 DA Fuel Separator question

    My 96 330 DA has 4 fuel filters 2 on the bulkhead by the tanks and 2 on the engine. Does anyone know why there is 4? I bought the boat used and wondering what part numbers they should be. The local mercury dealer said someone must have put the 2 on the bulkhead in for some reason. If there is 4...

    Engine raw water thru hull strainer

    Has anyone replaced the thru hull raw water strainer for the port engine on a 1996 sundancer with 454 v drives? My port side on is dented in and I would like to replace it before launch. There are 4 phillips screws on the strainer, but I think there is a clamping nut on the inside of the hull...

    Winterizing for heated storage

    I spoke to a man today and he had a good idea. Get a small jar with a screw top lid, fill it with water, put the lid on, put the jar in a bucket, then put the bucket in the bilge and leave it there. If the heat in the storage facility fails the water in the jar will freeze and break the jar. You...

    Winterizing for heated storage

    I am going to be storing my 96 330 DA in heated stoage this year and I was told the only thing I have to do is add stabil to the fuel, and drain the water. The marina says I don't have to fog the engines, but it wouldn't hurt. Any thoughts on what I should or shouldn't do? Thanks.

    Norcold Fridge Replacement or Repair

    I took the norcold apart as much as I could, the cooling unit, the door and the flange. I took the sliding door off the boat and the norcold parts all came out fine. The new one fit through the door fine. I just took the flange off, that's it. The old rough opening of the Sea Ray is 2 inches...

    Norcold Fridge Replacement or Repair

    I just bought a Vitrifrigo model C115ac fridge and put it in. The norcold is in the dumpster. The Vitrifrigo has a Danfoss compressor. It is so.... quiet it is unbelievable. Thanks to Go Aweigh2452 for the advice on the Danfoss compressor. Thanks to all for your input.

    Norcold Fridge Replacement or Repair

    I just talked with a guy that replaced his fridge with a new Norcold and he was disapointted as to how noisey it was. I am now looking at a Dometic XR-1110U/F. Anybody have any experience with getting this unit in?

    I have a 1996 330 DA with a Norcold DE-541 fridge that the compressor is shot. Has anyone had experience with replacing the fridge with a new one vs. repairing the existing one?

    Exhaust noise

    I have a 1996 330 dancer with 454 bluewater inboards i just bought this year. I have noticed last time out in rougher waters at cruise speed of 24K that I would hear the port engine sound louder at times. It sounded like a speed boat going by me. The sound would last a couple of minutes then go...

    1996 330 Sundancer portlights

    Does anyone know if the West Marine part # 567745 gasket material works with the Bomar port windiws on a 1996 330 Sundancer? If not do you know where I can get the gasket material? I am looking for the gasket that is glued in the frame that seas the glass when it closes. Thanks,
