This weekend the propeller on my bow thruster stopped spinning. The motor works but the propeller just sits there. When I turn by hand it easily spins. I assume a shear pin has given way. Does anyone know anything about this situation or has had a similar problem? Thanks, Marq

What do you think of SR’s new naming schema? Sea Ray has decided to move from a Length Over Centerline (LOC) (also known as Length Over Deck LOD) measurement to a Length Over All (LOA). What do you think about that – pros, cons, comments? For instance 2010 Sundancer example changes...

Dear Team: I have a boat project for a friend where I intend to have a bow-thruster installed on a 280 Sundancer. Any advice, lessons learned, best practices or general knowledge would be greatly appreciated. It is true that Sea Ray should have this as an option but for whatever reason...

I am hoping someone on this board knows the specification of the potable hot and cold water piping used in current model Sea Ray's? What is most interesting to me is the ability to recover from freezing temperatures - can it flex just a bit? The reason I ask is my water pump died yesterday as...

Another volatile week for Brunswick (BC) and today they touched a 52 week low. With news in their boating segment ranging from layoffs to production furloughs to the danger of violating debt covenants, things don’t look good for some time to come. Had an interesting conversation with an...

Please Advise: I just had that sinking feeling that I left my AC Converter on last weekend and the boat is hooked up to Shore Power. My 320 has four gel batteries so my question is... "what kind of damage will this do?" Thanks, Marqus

The new 330 Sundancer is here! My dealer received his first 330DA early last week, it is currently in prep and I will see it on Thursday and take lots of photos. It has every option except satellite television and for power she has the 8.1 Horizon twins with inboards and 4 blade propellers...

Dear Virtual Neighbors: This weekend I wrapped a line hiding just under the surface around my port shaft. No damage done but it did upset me and got me thinking about spurs. So do any members of this forum have any personal experience and be willing to share? Thanks, Marq

Hello forum members, I thought I would take a moment to fill you in on my first impressions of the 2007 Sea Ray 320 Sundancer. There are others on the board who surely will contribute their first impressions too and this hopefully will make for some good reading. My new 320 which was put to...

After nearly a year and a half without, I have pulled the trigger on a new boat. It came down to two brands, Formula and Sea Ray. Though I did look at others, lots of others, these two were the best in my opinion. The only other real contender was Regal and I was very impressed with their...

Hi Team: What is the measurement of the electronics pod dead center of the dash where you often see the Smart Craft display mounted? I am wondering how wide of a device I can jam in there. There is a 10.75"W x 6"H fish finder I would mount if possible. The boat already has a C80...

Hello Club Sea Ray Members: I would like to ask your considered opinions on what options do you feel are the “must haves†when ordering a new 2007 320 Sundancer? What percentage discount do you feel is possible (have you seen) off of internet pricing for a new boat? (5, 10, 15, 20...
