280da

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...

So I am finally going to install fuel boost pumps on my twin 4.3MPI engines to hopefully once and for all fix my vapor lock problems I've had over the years. My simple question is...for those that have them installed on their 280DA (or similar twin engine Sea Ray), where is the boost pump and...

Well I've been lurking around for a little while now and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Currently, we have a 01 245 weekender and want something larger with twins. I bought this as bait to introduce the idea to my wife and she bit. After discussing the upgrade, we decided on a 280 due...

I've about had it. This is now the 3rd time this year I've experienced the dreaded vapor lock issue with my 280DA with twin 4.3L MPI's. Experienced it once last year, our first full year with this boat. This time, it was after dark about 20 nm from home with my family of four, and three...

Not too long ago there was a thread where someone mentioned purchasing high-volume bilge blowers. That's all I can remember, so my search didn't turn up anything. I'm trying to find some that are better than what I currently have, or find some way to increase the fresh air to my engine room. I...

Well, after a couple of years at looking at boats, finally deciding on the 2002-up 280DA, and then taking an entire season to find one...we have! She's ours. We had her surveyed and sea trialed last weekend with fantastic results. She looks basically brand-new. Extremely well cared for, she was...

Love my new boat!

Hi I have to replace the teleflex steering cable on my 280DA with twin 4.3s. Does anyone have a partnumber and can tell me which teleflex cabel that I need? I have found the product in the Sea ray part list, but that does not translate to a product over here. Thanks

Found out why my starboard 4.3 would not start while trying to winterize. I am not getting voltage to the fuel valve. Turned the knob and it started fine. Got it winterized. My oil level is good, outdrive level is good and all breakers seem ok, starboard gauges seemed ok, fuel gauge was not...

Hello, I am after the trim rocker switches that are part of the port side throttle lever on a 280DA twin gas set up. The plastic levers are broken, and here in Australia I can only buy the complete throttle unit for about a million dollars.:smt100 Does anyone know of a second hand dealer or...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 280DA 2001 and I wonder how I activate the fresh water system so that I can take a shower or just boil a cup of tea? I just can't figure out where to activate the pump - I have tried the 'button' in the rear above the swimplatform but I guess I am searching in...
