Late 90's 270 Sundancer Thread

Team; I found a screaming deal on some bow-rail fender mount/brackets and am told that they will fit 3/4" to 1" bow-rails. I have scoured this site and "Google" but have not been able to determine what the diameter of the Bow-Rail is for these boats. Does anyone know? Thank you.

I think it is 1 inch. I fabricated my mounts from SS strap so you can A&E them for any rail

Hello,
Got my first Sundancer and my 2nd SeaRay this past week.
It's a 1997 270 with 7.4 and Bravo II.
I am overhauling a sound system. All of it.
So far the components I have purchased are :
2x Alpine PDX-V9 5 channel amps
8x Polk MM651UM speakers
2x Polk MM1040UM subs

Obviously I need to situate all the speakers, I have some ideas(kinda), but was wondering what other people have done so far.
Any pictures would be a huge help!
I know some guys on here have similar setups, some probably even better. Just looking for few ideas.


P.S. No I am not a juvenile delinquent aiming to destroy piece and tranquility that boating is to people. 4 out of 8 speakers and 1 sub will be switched(well 1 amp will actually be switched, but you get what I am saying), to use only in deserted places etc.

Thank you!

Welcome aboard! The 270 is a great vessel. This is not the thread for your boat, it is here: http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/936-Mid-90-s-270-Sundancer-Thread and the first post has a little history of the model.

You are far from the only power stereo fan here, you can see current Jason's project here:http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/65115-Official-Aftica-Stereo-Install-thread

So read and join in on the Mid 90's 270 thread...

Hello, I am new here. I just purchased a 1999 270 from a family that has not run it in 5 years. It unfortunately sat in a lake uncovered for those years. It had about 6" of standing rain water in the engine bay and standing water in the cabin. I have not attempted to do anything to it yet other than cover it up and dry it out using heaters. Shore power seems to work fine, but I have not replaced the batteries yet. I am tempted to try starting the engine off of an auxiliary gas can to see if it will turn over. The boat is going to need a major amour of work just dealing with the cabin interior, but the purchase price was almost free. Any tips from anyone on the forum would be greatly appreciated. I have been around boats from 26' - 60' all of my life, but never owned one.

Thank you!
Funny, mine looks just like yours, down to the stripe at the bottom and the canvas colors!!
Yes, I was looking for the one with Bravo III, could not find anything within my budget that also came with a trailer.
This one, I just could not pass up for the price. Already has a swim platform, LED lights and aluminum trailer, so I said lets do it.
She was my birthday Present from my wife, for my upcoming 35th.
Funny thing is it's a birthday present that I have to make payments on... I guess it's the thought...

My God, that poor thing!
Who would leave a beautiful boat to rot like that!!
Makes me sick!!!
I hope you can get her back to the way she was new or maybe even better
 
Hi all I just got signed up. I'm in the process of selling my 270, and was wondering if anyone had some insight on purchase prices you have seen. Thanks in advance. Dave
Also for those who would ask, not getting out of boating...time for a 32'-35'!
 
23000 last spring. 7.4 l bravo lll trailer included 320 hrs

Well I would start by pulling plugs and seeing whatthey look like and with the plugs out try and turn the motor over by hand with a breaker bar attached to the crankshaft pully nut and seeing if any water comes out and if itd still free. I may even put some oil in each cylinder before turning. If that checks out I would drain oil and examine it. If that checks out then buy batteries and try to crank. Good luck
 
Thanks for the input. The engine turned by hand without a problem. So, after new spark plugs, wires, oil, Distributer cap, batteries, and a starter, it started right up. Now the next task will be removing the 70+ gallons of 5 year old fuel. We have it running off of a 6 gallon aux. tank right now. It also looks as though the alternator is shot. Boat is cleaning up nicely.
 
First post in the thread.... (Actually was directed to Mid-90's posted there, but have since found my way over here with some help, thanks BrianontheBay)

First overnight outing with the family this past weekend. Have stayed with others in the past, but this was a first on our new boat.



1998 Sundancer 270 SE, 7.4 Merc w/ Bravo III.

Went smooth for the most part. You learn a lot about your boat when you are on the hook for the night. Need a new starter battery, a more powerful inverter and more band-aids in the first aid kit. :)

What type of Inverter are you guys running? I have one on the boat but it trips when I kick the microwave on. Microwave is 1100 watts. The one I have is a cheap 1800 max watt inverter with a 1000 watts pure sine. Gotta make that macaroni and cheese for the kids.
 
I bought a '99 270 wide this year, and I was wondering - what is the minimum draft with the drive up, but NOT in trailer position? I expect the trailer position leads to the 2' minimum draft. I'm gathering I pretty much need 4' of water to be safe, then hit the trailer button and walk it in.

Also, at the helm switches, I have one that just says Lights on the left side. What does it do? The Nav and Cockpit Light switches are on the right side. I do not have a spot light.

Regarding the "Light" switch, that should be the light in your engine compartment. Can't speak to the draft with the drive up but not trailered.
 
I feel silly having to ask this. There are two light switches above the stove in the galley. Anyone know what the right one controls? '99 270DA.

The switch on the right in that cluster is for the 110v lamp in the overhead light above the stove area. On mine when I took off the light fixture cover, I found that the bulb had just come unscrewed.

if the bulb is burned out... It is a difficult bulb to find and there is a thread here that has helpful information on it.

You have been misdirected to this forum. The 98-99 270SE is the same boat as the mid 90s 270. This thread is only for the 9'2" beam. Read the 270 history in the first post of the mid 90s thread.
