Mabey some reading for you here:

Welcome to CSR!

 

[Captain Tom Morrow]

are you telling me this boat is a SS? The title says 280 SR but the title also said the boat is aluminum

 

[RollerCoastr]

Correct. Sea Ray abbreviates Sundancer as “DA”, so I bet the SR you see refers to Sea Ray.

A ‘94 may have the model designation stamped on the transom near the HIN.

 

[Captain Tom Morrow]

Question. What is correct lube in the bottle on the transom that says gear lube? Is it 80 90 gear lube like goes in a lower unit on an outboard?

 

[scoflaw]

Yes but the Bravo's have a clutch, so use the right stuff.
Hi-performance Quicksilver 80-90

 

[Captain Tom Morrow]

thanks. the power steering? pump in the front of the engine says use the correct fluid! but does not say what to use. I thought I read in the manual it is DOT 3 break fluid. The reservoir on the port rear (I assume for the trim tabs) is a mystery also.

Try to figure out what's in there now, If it's red it's ATF if it's clear, power steering fluid . Basically any hydraulic oil will work.

That is a nice looking boat but I dont believe its a Sundancer. I think its a cuddy, which is what the SR denotes.
