I keep my boat on Tilghman Island on the Chesapeake Bay. I pulled the boat in preparation for hurricain Sandy and noticed barnacles attached to the bottom of the boat. I've had the boat for 5 seasons and this is the first time I've noticed so many.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to...
I have a 1997 330 Sundancer and my Garmin 2006c is not working. That model is discontinued and am looking for something similiar. I looked on the Garmin website and the pricing was $2899 - OUCH!
Can anyone suggest an alternative? Is there a source for refurbished units?
I'm on the...
I have a 1997 330 Sundancer and was wondering if anyone has painted their boat to freshen it up. And, any idea how much it would cost. Or, should I just replace/upgrade.
Yesterday I was out on a short ride in my 1997 330 Sundancer. I noticed the fluid in my built in compass was nearly gone. How difficult is it to replace? Is it something I'll need to order from Sea Ray or will West Marine do?
Or, can it be repaired? It doesn't look like it would be too...
While waxing my boat yesterday I realized that I'll need to refresh the caulking on my 1997 330 Sundancer. Is this as straight forward as it appears, or are there things I should be looking out for? Any suggested products?
I have a 1997 330 Sundancer. It's been running fine until yesterday when it seemed to be running a little rough. I purchased the boat in August of last year so basically I have one about one years use. I'm wondering if changing the spark plugs would help. At least that seems like the least...
I have a 1997 330 Sundancer. The last two times I've been out to my boat I arrived to find a water settling in on the mid-cabin floor. Originally I thought I had a problem with a sump pump located below the floor right in front of the galley. I thought I corrected that problem, apparently...

What are the requirements for lights when cruising at night? I know you use your nav. lights but I've seen some people with what appears to be their "at anchor" light on as well.
Is that ok?
I have a 1997 330 Sundancer and all of the screens need to be replaced. Does anyone have any hints about doing this. Should I try to get to them from the inside or outside? I tried to remove one and found it much more difficult than I expected. The old ones were so bad I just pulled out the...
Why is it that you see those LP gas grills on sail boats and rarely on power boats?
Is it just the fact that the grill would be too close to the gas tanks?
When I purchased my 1997 330 DA my surveyor mentioned a soft spot on the swim platform. I could feel it when I stepped on the spot getting on and off the boat, I tried to avoid it whenever possible. Now that it's out of the water I could take a close look and see tiny hairline cracks in that...
Two questions:
I would like to rename my boat. I realize I have to appease the gods with the proper ceremony (I understand alcohol is typically involved, or I have to back over the equator, or get my ear pierced or something), what about all my paperwork which reflects the current name - it's...
I'm a first year boat owner with a Sea Ray 330 Sundancer. I've heard that you should store the boat for the winter with nearly full fuel tanks to prevent condensation. True?
I'm new to boating and just purchased a 1997 330 Sundancer. When I fill the water holding tank within 20 - 30 minutes it's empty. There is clearly a leak and the water gets pumped out the bilge. Any thoughts on what's wrong or how to get to the offending area? Like I said, I'm new to this...
Hello, everyone. I'm a first time boat owner and just purchased a 1997 330 Sundancer. I keep her on Maryland's Eastern Shore at Tilghman Island. I've got a couple of "how to" questions and am wondering the best place to post those questions. I'm new to this site as well and guess I'll just...
