Official 330 Sundancer Thread

Is there a trick to connecting to fresh water inlet? Is my connector missing something? Doesn’t feel like it should be so hard to connect and when I turn hose on water sprays everywhere.

View attachment 85716 View attachment 85715 Just purchased a ‘97 330DA! Only has 485 hours on the original motors. Needs some cleaning and TLC, but otherwise is in great condition for its age.

Looks good! Hopefully you have raised your fenders when tied to that dock. They look like they aren't doing much work.

Yes, I have raised them and moved to a different marina.

Looks like you need a new inlet connection/pressure regulator.

Microwave?
Has anyone found a microwave for 330 Sundancer's that fits without modifications?

Target. Sunbeam #072-01-0354 just replaced mine last week. Unfortunately only comes in black. i put double stick tape on the feet to keep it from moving.

I need a favor.

I had my arch re-painted and the holes for the snap screws got filled in and I can't find them. Could someone please take a picture of the snaps that are on the arch, preferably with a tape measure in the picture for reference.

Thank you.

Why not use your canvas or cover to position them?

You are making a mistake by relying on other canvas enclosures to map out your holes. There is a little variance with every canvas installation and the screw holes may not line up.

That's why the snaps are put on the canvas after the canvas is made and in position on the boat. The snap locations on the boat can also differ from boat to boat.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that we have crappy custom camper canvas and I don't want to go by that.

I would like to get close to stock so that when we order a new bimini piece from Great Lakes the snaps are close enough to line up with the new canvas.

BTW, does anyone have an old bimini I could buy off them to help in planning our next camper top. I want the new camper to attach to a stock bimini. Color doesn't matter.

Anyone know where to buy the 330 transom and arch decals? TIA!

 

[rumrunner]

Hey JohnGordon, I went the route with Great lakes for new canvas as well. The canvas does not come with the snaps installed (the snaps are included in a separate bag...). You will need to do that when you fit the canvas to the boat. You will need a good snap tool and some help. That way you can line up the snaps on the arch any way you like.

As for decals, ebay!

Thanks,
Picked one up today, Think I will make a little cubby to the right of it to put my cutting boards.

Hello All,
While the season has finally started here !!!.
But of course with a boat, new issues. I have developed a leak I think at the water tank, most likely at the outlet to the fresh water pump. I can see a drip coming from sealant around tube.
Question ? Has anyone else had this happen ? How much of the boat needs to come apart to see the connection ? Looks like a fall project. Any help, pictures, comments welcome.
Stay Safe and Happy Boating !!

Hi All - As a potentially new 330 owner ( looking at a 1997 330 ) , I have a question about use of the interior space at the stern. Does anyone use it as a salon / sitting area , or is it usually just left as a sleeping area ?

I have owned my boat for 11 years and have not once used it as a sitting area. Its made up as a bed with a memory foam topper. If we are not overnighting, it has life jackets and fishing rods on it. If we are at anchor, we are up on deck.

My two kids (5 and 2 yrs old) use the aft berth as a “fort” and sleeping area constantly.

And I’ll stow some things there too.

Thanks for the info - We are coming from a Carver that had a Salon space , the mid-berth area looks a little low on the SeaRay to be used comfortably
