- 450 DA Sundancer running CAT 3126
I'm going to attempt to do a poll here - don't really know if i'm even going about this the right way, but we'll see.
I've been aboard a total of four 1996 450 Sundancers, but only two in wet conditions, mine and one that was laying in Jacksonville, both of which have a list to port.
The one in JAX was very pronounced, the broker stated that it was likely uneven fuel in the tanks.
On my own '96 it is very slight, but it is consistent.
You really can't see it, but when water gets into the area under the dashboard rocker switch panel, it does not exit through the stbd drain as intended, but rather accumulates on the port side of that indentation.
This condition has been consistent. It was like this in California and is like this with full tankage as well.
There is no carried on-board weight inbalance, however it should be noted that this boat is equipped with a Cablemaster which lives on the port side.
For this reason I typically run the genny off the port side tank
I do recall a member from NY mentioning a similar condition
Just wondering if its just me, or the cablemaster of something else or nothing.
Let's see how the poll turns out
BEST !
