Boat Info
330 Sundancer 1998. Garmin Radar/GPS/Chartplotter/Sonar. Fusion Head Unit JL Audio.
Engines
454 Mercruiser 7.4L MPI V-Drive Inboards
Had our new dock and 4 post Eagle lift installed 16 months ago. Finally bought the first boat, a 98' 330 Sundancer and bringing her home. Sad part is my installer has been a POS. Dock didn't last and he's disappeared. I've reached out to at least get the width for bunks for the Searay but it looks like I'm on my own. Anyone know where I can find that info? Or what measurement of the boat I can use to help me determine where to set them? Lift's never had a boat on it so they are set at whatever the installer chose to set them at. Thanks for any help all.

gater, I'd suggest calling SR Customer Service but I think they're close for COVID-19. I've called a couple of times and left messages and gotten no response.

Try a SR dealer or a local Marine Max store?
 
I have spoken to Sea Ray customer service over the past few weeks, as recently as yesterday.

Here is the number i called:
865-971-6250
 
Just eyeballing it, but those bunks don't look like they will be high enough to provide clearance for the props/rudders when they are set outboard of the prop tunnels to clear them. Its only a 17 degree deadrise, but that still needs more bunk height the further out the bunks are placed. They look more like bunks for a smaller boat to me You will need true measurements of course. Have you looked at the Owners Guide/supplement to see if that will help?

Thanks for the tip. I was looking for the deadrise and you posted it as 17 degrees so that is helpful. I finally tracked down the installer who does think the bunks will work, if not, I can purchase extensions. Fingers crossed I don't need.. I did call SR, they were helpful in a sense they gave me a couple boat lift companies to call. But yes, they did always answer the phone so that was a pleasant surprise.

Thanks for the help.
