Official 380 Thread

It depends where. the Dash is different between the two models, however, I have one in the center behind the steering wheel and a 12 inch in the many mfd panel. I would imagine you can get two 7s where the 12 inch would be. you can download the paper template cut out three and move them around. Good luck!

Good idea, I'll do that. The 12" MFD is going on the large radar panel to the left. Toying with either two which I know will fit or three 7" on the dash behind the wheel. I would have to convince the admiral first though.

The 12 inch just fits with a little cut off on the top corners. The Navigator has a nice big screen to look around with and look at the route and see what is out a ways.

Cheers!

Looks great! Merry Christmas nothing better than boat parts under the tree!
 
In dc380's photo, the pump on the top of the photo (which is the aft part of the engine room) is the "aft" bildge pump that is automatic and may also be manually activated by the "aft switch" at the helm and the float for that pump is located on the low part of the bildge.(not visable in the photo obscured by raw water lines)

The other pump in the photo is the " high water" aft pump which is automatic and not controlled by any switch at the helm and the float is located on the raised portion of the engine room floor. (omited on the Searay Diagram but shown with your blue arrow)

Although it should be tested regularly, if the high water aft pump is activated you will get an alarm on the system monitor, reading aft pump and you've got BIG problems. meaning ALOT of water in the engine room.

In the forward part of the engine room there is the "forward" bildge pump that is automatic and may also be manually activated by the "forward switch" at the helm and the float for that pump is located on the low part of the forward bildge.

I learned the hard way that the bildge pump in the salon bildge (behind the shower, condensate pump (enclosed in a box - forget about that one for now) is the " high water" forward bildge pump which is automatic and not controlled by any switch at the helm and if the "high water forward pump" is activated you will get an alarm on the system monitor reading forward pump.

Poorly described as I thought is was the forward pump in the bildge but that's a whole other story.

There are 3 seperate discharge lines, that have seperate thru hull fittings well above the water line, each of which has a check valve.

I spend a good amount of time twice a year with a hose in the engine room making sure that everything is working as it is supposed to. Rarely is this the case.

Not trying to go on too long with this post, but... The pump maufacturer does not want a check valve on the line because if holds back a column of water that the pump must overcome. When I talked to the Searay guys at Merritt Island they said that is the way Searay does it because the water in each discharge line, when the pump shuts down, would end up back in the bilge and also that the check valve would stop any sea water from coming in, in the worst case scenario. (at that point I'd be ready to abandon ship).

After spraying away of the gunk from the standing water from rain etc., I take off the nozzle and run the hose full blast for a few minutes. and the pumps will cycle on and off making sure the check valves aren't frozen and the pumps and floats are free of debris.

Just one of many exciting boat lessons I've learned from boat problems.
 
New cabin steps on the way. Merry Christmas to meView attachment 96401
Hi, they look great! Have you installed them yet? Is so do you have any pics? Where did you get them from? I have been looking for ideas to replace the original ruber type and till now I had not seen any. Would you mind sharing any info on who made them? Price. Anything would help. Thank you
 
Got a 380 DA 2001 Late fall and super excited. Got to take her to 1 trip ( 2.5 hrs each way) before going in the hard and LOVED IT. Granted looks like gaa consumption is pretty high but will see this coming season. Decided to remove carpet in the cabin and install loneseal flooring. So far so good. No need to install subflooring installer was able to sand left over glue etc. But will have to make new hatches as there is too much space in between. Any how wish me luck. Installer waiting for a bit warmer day to glue the flooring. Looking for ideas to replace the cabin steps with.

Good luck with everything. The 380 is an awesome boat. We’ve had ours for four years and still love it. As far as the gas consumption look on the bright side. You don’t have to worry about ethanol until winter because your tanks always have fresh gas.
 
They ain’t cheap, but here is the best looking steps imo

Hi all, I started my engines today and water shot out of the optional flush valve on the stern. I am attaching a pic. I was wondering if this meant another more appropriate egress for the water was blocked? I am told that my cooling system expels water from the bottom of the boat. This started after I replaced the manifolds but may be unrelated? Any thoughts?
