this weekend I had my boat out at an event and the generator was running fine and the air conditioning was on. I went and had a bite to eat and when I got back the generator was running and the air was off. The voltage meter on the panel showed 25volts. I checked the fuse and it was fine. For...

So after fighting with the A/C u it for the past 4 Days I am stumped. I used Barnicle Buster on Friday and let it sit and bust loose all the crap for 6 hours before I restarted the unit and to my surprise, it made absolutely no difference. The unit in my guest bedroom will run for 2 minutes and...

Aft r rebuilding the port side shifter lever at the helm we went to refill the system and purge out the air. Worked great on the port side that required the rebuild. However after hours and hours of trying to get fluid to the starboard side helm shifter we can't get it to bleed. We have tried...

Took the 500 out for the first time this year since we bought the marina back in October and sprung a leak in my port side shifter housing and lost shifting capability on the port side.We removed the port side shifter housing and noticed that the leak is coming from behind a ring with two holes...

I went to check my a/c this weekend in my guest cabin and noticed it was not coming on. When it cycles on the compressor turns on and then after about a second it immediately shuts off. It will do this three times and then it gives me a HI/PS code. I turned he unit off for several hours and...

Does anyone have any experience with Pro Nautic charges and the way they hande warranties. I had guest chargers on my 340 and after 10 years those guys completely replaced my charger when it went bad. Probably one of the best experiences that I ever had getting something warrantied. This pro...

As some of you know I just hooked up my Boat Command a week or so ago. I received a warning Friday night that told me my battery was undercharged so I went to the docks Saturday and noticed the charger had stopped working. It smelled like my 24v batteries were cooking. I turned it off and then...

Has anyone here installed the boat command with 24 and 12v batteries that are monitored as well as two temperature monitors, one for the bilge and one for the cabin? I bought the system this past weekend and am hoping to get it wired up this Saturday. Looking for some tips Thanks in...

I have been researching diesel stabilizer and additives for winter. I have several people recommending Lucas and some others as well. I have just topped off with 400 gallons and need to put some additives. I used "power diesel" last year and had issues this year with crap in my fuel. What do you...

Well after about an hour and a half we got her in the water and over to the slip. I new our ramp was only 40' long and in pretty rough shape, so I hired a diver to guide us in. Thankfully I did hire the best diver around. He guided us down the ramp a few feet at a time till she finally floated...

Sorry it has been a while since I posted. Things have been a little crazy for me. We moved our 500 Sundancer to Cedar Creek Marina in Mt Juliet Tn on old Hickory lake. We are very excited about the move and have met some great people at the new Marina. A couple of great fellas that have...

This boat is a 402 with lots of options and approximately 450 hours, fresh water boat all its life. Owner bought it three years ago and has put about 5 hours in it. She has sat in a covered slip since new, full Camper canvas with screens. Boat needs a good detailing and has a small ding only in...

I have a dock mate that wants to move his boat immediately. This boat is like new. 133 hours on twin big blocks. Loaded with options and this boat looks like it just came off the show room floor. He was asking 169,900 and I think he will take about 120k f(maybe less) or the boat. That is about...

I posted this on Boat Diesel.com but I thought I would post it here also I have a 96 Searay Sundancer with 6v92sTAs. The port motor was rebuilt a couple of seasons ago and I have probably only put 100 hours on it since then. This weekend was the first weekend I ran it up over 1000 RPM and I...

My 1996 500 has a central vac system and the hose for it is splitting in a couple of places. I really just need the hose assembly for it. Does anyone know where to get one and what the diameter of the hose is? Thanks in advance Steve

I had a guy that use to repair all my electronic stuff. Unfortunately, he has disappeared without a trace. He also disappeared with a couple of my digital displays for my amp 12volt amp draw display and my 110 voltage display that go behind the black plexiglass in my main breaker panel. I am...

Ok so when I bought my 1996 Sundancer 500da it had what I think is all the original electronics. Most of the stuff was working. However, some of the stuff needed work. I think I probably spent another $1000-1500 repairing the radar system and getting everything together. I am on a pretty small...

Ok well a couple of years ago I noticed fresh water in the compartment that houses my shower sump box. I traced it down to a crack in the top of the 150 gallon water tank under the salon floor. I repaired the crack with 5200 and it seemed to hold well. I also new that the tank had to crack for a...

I noticed that over the winter that steering fluid had leaked from somewhere near my steering wheel and dripped down on to the helm floor. I searched everywhere for the leak and think that I finally found it from directly behind the steering wheel. I contacted teleflex and they needed a picture...

I am looking at installing a water witch switch to my shower sump area and trying to get rid of that extra 2 inches of water that sits in the bilge because the pump float switch doesn't turn on until I have two inches of water in it. From what I understand, the water witch can be set at any...
