Hi Frank, I have a GHS lift on my 2008 Sea Ray 44 Sundancer. I bought the boat three years ago and was thinking about replacing all my hydraulic lines since I have no paperwork showing it was ever done. How often should they be replaced and do you stock them? Boat is still out of the water and...

I own a 2008 44 Sundancer with the Cummins QSC 8.3 500HO. I have the optional hydraulic swim platform and I am in the market for a new console dinghy. I believe Sea Ray has a max weight of 800lbs for the platform. My major concern is not only what the platform can safely hold from a structural...

Some really good info here. Thanks I appreciate the help.

Just purchased 4 gallons of Pettit Hydrocoat. Can I use this on my stainless steel hydraulic platform? I know they make an eco formula that's made for metal, but is it necessary? I have been using this for years on my trim tabs and I never noticed any galvanic corrosion. As everyone knows this...

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Unfortunately I have already investigated most of them and came up empty. The electronic air quality sensor has definitely peaked my interest. Hopefully this can provide some answers.

I ran an ozone generator many times before but the smell always comes back. I also tried the Nose Guard/Chlorine Gas plastic containers. It works initially but the smell always returns.

Not to beat a dead horse but here we are in mid March and I am still fighting this issue. Any one out there with a science background? This sweet smell never went away even through sub freezing temperatures of this winter. There were several occasions when I checked on boat where the salon temps...

Thanks for all the good advice. I will take a closer look at the AC system. But in all honesty, I am not sure what I will find. Last summer I removed the fan unit cleaned and disinfected all ducts and AC coils, ran an ozone generator for days, and set up plastic containers that emit chlorine...

I want to thank everyone for their input. My first thought was the nontoxic antifreeze that we all use for the potable water system. Unfortunately I could not find any signs of it despite having checked just about every nook and cranny that was accessible. I even used a flexible borescope to get...

I own a 2008 44 Sundancer that has had this ongoing problem since last spring. It seems to be the strongest in the compartment where the salon AC is, in fact when that AC unit is on it intensifies the odor. I have tried just about everything. Bilges and sumps are spotless, there is no sign of...

I replaced my actuator but now my window intermittently will not go down. Sometimes it works perfectly and other times I have to hit the close switch numerous times even though I can hear the relay clicking in the EIM unit under the helm. I rechecked all connections and they are fine any...

Anyone know what bag the units they installed on a 2004 340 take?

Ok, thank you gerryb I will give them a call. Do you remember which model you ordered?

I have a 2004 Sundancer and have been struggling with my tender for years. I have a Hurley H20 davit system but my integrated swim platform is too high for the davits to work properly. I am considering the Hurley H30 davit and would like to know if any members with my model boat have that system...

I just did a search and noticed that a few members have replaced their window vent actuators with one from Progressive Linear. I am interested in how they hold up in salt spray. The company claims it can only handle light splashes from fresh water. Are there any other options other than the $500...

ollieC Thanks for the info. This boat has the alpa drive and I believe in 2001 the 5.0L was carburated and put out 260hp. Thinking it might be a bit under powered. What do you think?

Have a friend of mine thinking of purchasing this boat with the standard 5.0L Merc. Would appreciate any info you could give me on this model both good and bad ( ride, under powerd, outdrive corrosion,etc). Thanks.

Sporters78 I had a very similar experience. I also had 600 hours when mine snapped. We were coming back from Martha's Vineyard I was 3 miles east of Watch Hill point in RI at 3300 rpm when the starboard shaft broke. Luckily we were not far from home. If it had happened on the way out our...

I have been boating for over 20 years without a claim. The one time I needed them I was denied. I had my agent set me up with a different co. Sporters 78 you have been thru two shafts? How many hours did you have when each shaft snapped? Did you replace them with the same type or go with the...
