    2003+ Searay 340 Engine Options: 6.2 vs 8.1

    I have the 8.1's and can only speak to them. We were out last night and cruised slowly down the river, on the way back it was getting close to dark so I opened them up. I have to say it was nice to have the extra power. When we sold our 260 and 240 and that seem to be a question most buyers...

    Grounding issue?

    When attempting to start the port side engine it will either "trip" the battery switch in the cabin or simply not start at all. By using the emergency switch it of course starts right up. The port side batteries are both brand new Optima's and I checked them with a meter and appear fine. Does...

    Adding 120v GFI under helm

    I'm looking for some :smt100. I would like to add a GFI outlet under the helm next to the breaker box. I am hoping to purchase another rocker switch for the "accessory opening" that is not used on the main switch panel in the cabin. This way I can "control" it with switch the same as the...

    Pending 260 purchase

    Both sound like great boats. As it is often stated on here, it seems to come down to a personal preference and how you will use the boat. We sold our 06' 260 last year to move to a 340. Here in Wisconsin, with the temperatures as variable as they are, we added ac/heat to the 260 and do not...

    Upper Mississippi Snow Melt

    They are talking a 30% chance of 18 ft here in La Crosse which would be a record :smt089 and an 82% chance of 15.5 feet (major flooding). She's gonna be a wet one. On the positive side, :huh:, it's going to be 60 in a couple of days and we virtually have no snow left. "The record crest in La...

    Shipping advice....need help!!

    I would echo the comments above as well. We had our 340 shipped from Idaho/Spokane, WA to Wisconsin this last November in the very first snow storms of the season. I found out the hard way that not shrink wrapping has caused us weeks worth of cleaning. There is fine sand EVERYWHERE. Also...

    Bimini Top/Sunshade tie down

    boltman, I ended up contact Sunbrella and Great Lakes. Micheal at Great Lakes was fantastic and explained in detail how to re-attach the sunshade. I had to run the nylon chord through the grommet twice to achieve the same results. :smt021:smt021 Thanks for responding back though!!!

    7.5 Million!

    "Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch admitted Friday the $7.5 million quoted by DOA lawyer Cari Ann Renlund was "at the high end of the range" and that actual cleanup costs could be as low as $347,500." Oops.....

    Bimini Top/Sunshade tie down

    Hello again! I cleaned all the canvas and was at the boat putting the bimini top/sunshade back on the boat and got to thinking as I was wrapping the cord around and around and around. Is there a "trick" to this? Since the boat shipped with it off I do not have any knowledge of how this was...

    Smartcraft Fuel Display

    :smt100 We purchased a 2007 340 this past winter and with gas prices the way they are I thought I would check how much fuel was left on the boat from the previous owner. So....I switched on the batteries, turned on both ignition keys and ignitions switches and powered up the smartcraft...

    Madison Wisconson

    I agree gents, those who fled may have felt it was the right thing but I would disagree with them. Be there, stand up for what you believe in. As for the union, once again it is a generalization, many of the university staff are not unionized. D & R alike, there is a fundamental flaw in the...

    Madison Wisconson

    Point well taken, except it is all the teachers that will be affected by this, not just the local school districts. I would be more inclined to feel the budget was not "political" if it was for all public sectors. We have made tough decisions as well where I work, except, we involved the...

    Madison Wisconson

    OK, I have to chime in, with complete respect of course. First, we as the private sector do not fully pay for all of these teachers. There are revenues that are brought in by tuition, for example universities, that this simply does not apply to. As all to often we are generalizing. Second, Mr...

    LED TV install on 340

    Thanks Scott. Do you know if it is possible to run the wires behind instead of through the fake wood bulkhead? In my brief look today it seems the locker at the helm is pretty tight. My intent is to install a 32" LED and have a Playstation 3 for the Blu-ray. I have seen pictures of the tv...
