Has anyone swapped a stock 6 Gal Water Heater for an 11 Gal unit in a 07 280 DA (twin 4.3 w/ gen arrangement)? the 11 Gal is 3 inches larger H/W/T, and it looks like there is room.....
I'm about to list an 07 280 DA, and I’m wondering how tofactor for the unusually high Hours (780) for its year group. It seems that every 07 I look at for a comphas 80 or less hours, which amazes me (fcs, I can do that in 3 months!). Isthere a chart or reference I can use to assses value...
I have a chance to straight trade my '07 280 DA for a very nice '87 410 A/C (Gas). My 280 has 760 hrs, and is worth appx 70k....Any thoughts? I'm not sure if i'd regret it!
I'm interested in doing fleet week (6-10 OCT) and was interested in hearing from anyone who has done the trip from the Sacramento/Delta region. In particular, where is the best anchorage during the day, and berthing at night? I'm in an 07 280 DA, 4.3's/ GEN...
I have been having an issue with my Port drive and, very recently issues with what appears to be the Port engine electrical system. I had the Port lower shift cable replaced by a very competent Mercruiser tech (who has worked on this boat since I bought it new in 2007), which remedied the...
On occarion the upper bolster in the vberth (port) gets damp. the only water that the boat was exposed to was a wash-down the day earlier and the boat is in a covered slip. I'm guessing the leak is coming from the Anchor locker but there is no evidence of this. What is odd is that I wash this...
I have an isuue with my Anchor Light trippng it's breaker on my 07 280 Dancer. I'm assuming it's a ground issue of some sort but would appreciate anyone who may have dealt with this...
Can anyone help me source light bulbs for my mast light? They are seemingly impossible to find, and there are no Sea Ray or Marine Max locations left in Northern CA to go to. I believe I have the Perko set-up, and it takes #1181 bulbs.
I recently had the port shifter cable adjusted as a result of stretching (07 280 DA T 4.3's/A1's w/680hrs). The adjustment made engagement into reverse much better, but now the engine stumbles and dies when transitioning from F or R into nuetral, especially when i really need to go F-N-R in...
What is with these 5EC's? I have had issues with mine from the day I purchased my 280 new in 07'...Anyway, my latest issue is a LOC code....When at the shop with a hose connected for cooling it runs flawlessly...Once in the water it starts and runs 4-5 sec, then ****s off with an LOC code. I...
Can anyone help me source OEM fabric for the v berth and mid berth cusions and bolsters for my '07 280 Dancer? Sea Ray only sells the complete cushion, padding and covers, which is $%^*#$@ expensive. Any help is appreciated
my 2007 280 dancer is having issues with the nylon slides in the aluminum track which allows the cabin door to move..I have broken two of them for some reason and cannot find anyone, including SeaRay reps who can source new ones...Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm probably posting in the wrong place, but i'm up against a time line and need help with fixing my inop shower sump pump on my 07 280 DA. it seems odd to have gone out this fast and i'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen and any advice on how to trouble-shoot ?
I'm trying to replace 2 parts that don't appear on the sea ray replacement parts lists. First are the two "glide blocks": that run inside the aluminum channels of the cabin door (upper).
Second is the piano hinge that attaches the rear seat to the aft bulkhead...Has anyone replace these...
