    Missing poster thread…

    I called him out for posting inaccurate info on the 3116 thread. He sent a PM to tell me he was only trying to help others. My reply was, if you don't know, please stop "helping". (because guys like me who know nothing, learn from technical sites like this) After that I received what can only...

    Find/Order Vaccuflush Water Valve 1990's Series

    Thinking you'll need the model number to be sure. It's on the pedestal, one screw and a bit of wrestling removes the cover. https://www.environmentalmarine.com has parts diagrams for our vintage systems. My guess would be 385314349.

    97 400 DA engine hatch overide

    My 1998 40 DA came with a cigarette lighter adapter to open the hatch in the event of a 12 v power loss. Made by M and G electric, MFG tag is still on it. As I understand it, they also made some of the breaker panels for Sea Ray. I've used it a few times, no issues. Worked with all batteries...

    410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread**

    Plus one on the non-original. My 1998 40 DA tank developed a small crack at the "L" on the top. I repaired a few years ago using a kayak repair kit (learned on this site). The tank had nothing around it. I did fill the voids around the tank when reinstalling after repair, was surprised at how...

    Engine Hatch?

    My 1998 40 DA came with a cigarette lighter adapter to open the hatch in the event of a 12 v power loss. Made by M and G electric, MFG tag is still on it. As I understand it, they also made some of the breaker panels for Sea Ray. I've used it a few times, no issues.

    380 salon/cabin flooring

    I used Robert's to "glue" engineered hardwood to the hatches six years ago. Also used it on a few stubborn floor pieces that wanted to squeak, the rest floats. Didn't know about the climate control. No issues so far, I'm not in a climate controlled building. Temp swings since I installed...

    Sundancer How long is too long

    We have a 1998 40 DA, just (2) of us plus a 6 pound dog. We live aboard for the summer. My house is approximately 20 minutes away, we pop in to do laundry and pick up the mail on occasion. A few recent trips away from the marina were: Buffalo to NYC via Erie Canal and Hudson River - (7 weeks)...

    410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread**

    Thanks, New dash panels from Flounder Pounder, a few years ago when I installed the Aetna tachs. The Borel panel is for engine overheats, that’s the way they label them. There is a sensor band around the exhaust that detects loss of raw water cooling before engine overheats or damage to wet...

    410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread**

    + 1 on @Strecker25's suggestion, they are great for a 1st level troubleshoot. On another note, roughed in my Turbocater gauges today. (learned from @Strecker25) Figured as long as I'm pulling wires, pulled some for Borel Mgf. raw water alarms. (learned from @Maybe A Dancer) Repurposed the...

    A/c fan removal 2006 Sundancer 320

    I have the same unit, can see 3 for sure, would need a mirror or smaller hand to see/feel if there is a fourth. Mine is rotated 90 degrees from yours, I see 2 up higher, one low.
