280 sundancer

I have a 2005 280 Sundancer and want to mount twin stainless fender holders on each side of the bow. I bought two sets from West Marine for 8" fenders but discovered the holders were too tall as the bottom hit the deck. Looking for suggestions as to what type of Fender Holder I should buy and...

Hi all, New to this forum. We currently have a 225 Weekender 2003. One season and time to move up to a bigger boat. When cruising, the trim tabs when held down do (pretty much) nothing. We took a 260 for a test drive yesterday. it was listing a bit to the left so (in my infinite wisdom) I hit...

Hello fellow boaters, I have a 2005 Sundancer 280 with twin 4.7 Mercury Engines. I just encountered a very unusual problem and needed some help. My boat used to take off and plane within 30 seconds at around 3500 rpm, however, as of about a month ago this has stopped. When I floor the boat, it...

Anyone have ideas or info in installing refrigerator in the upper deck storage compartment of a 280a sundancer? Saw a 300 a few weeks ago that had it done but I can’t find a fridge that will fit.

In the process of purchasing a 2014 280 Sundancer that has 30 hours on it. This boat has the 350 mercruiser 300 hp engine and a 21" prop. The boat has not yet had its first service due to the low hours but maybe it still probably should have since it is 4 years old. I just had the survey done...

Good morning. I just signed up in hopes of getting some help with my decision to buy or not to buy a 2002 280 Sundancer that is in VERY GOOD condition. She has 600 hours on both 4.3 twins @ 220HP each. I have a sea trial set up for tomorrow and a survey. My wife and I have been weighing the pros...

Looking for a tan or navy Blue camper back for my 2005 Sundancer 280. I believe 2004-2006 will fit. Good condition only. Will consider full canvas set if Navy blue.

Hi all, I joined the forum back in May, after I put in an offer on my first potential boat. I didn't want to post anything until I actually owned it. But that sale didn't work out. Neither did the next. Or the next. Two months and four offers later, I am finally the proud owner of a...

Hello, I just purchased a 1989 Sea Ray 280 Sundancer and the Transom bench seat was gone and i need to replace it. does anyone have a diagram or know where i can get information on how to replace it? or pictures of how this thing folds up would be great. Thanks, Bdunn

This will be the first time I'm having to replace my batteries on my 2002 sundancer 280. I believe I need to replace 2 starting batteries as one will not turn its engine over at all and the other one barely holds a charge. We barely got the boat started from anchor yesterday after only being...

First time issue with my 280 Sundancer Quick Windlass. Windlass was factory installed on my 2007 280 and hasn't had any issues until this weekend. Pulling up anchor in a new to us cover this weekend, we hooked a large tree and pulled it up with the windlass. The windlass just quit on us after...

Hi, I just got a 280 Sundancer. The Sea Ray guy mentioned that when we plug into the shore power, we should reach under the bench in and switch the battery switch from BOTH to OFF. When I do this....the lights don't work. When I look at the AC/DC panel, the cabin lights are on the DC side.I...

Hi Everyone - I have been researching and "kicking tires" for the past year but still need some clarity. I really like the 280 DA in terms of size and budget. We live in the Houston area and spend most of our time boating in the Clear Lake area. I have read many of the threads in this forum...
