Maybe I should re-title this thread.... Anyway, the galley drawers on my 2000 310 Sundancer are getting harder and harder to slide open and closed. I've taken the drawers out, cleaned up the slides and re-installed. But they still just don't glide as well as (I think) they should. I've tried...

So after spending a lovely morning on the hook in Garbage cove yesterday, we had to pull anchor and head in for a friend's pool party. So, since we are trying to teach our 9-year old son the ropes of boating, my wife headed up front to show him how the windlass operates and we pull up the...

Hi - new issue with the toilet. The water is very slowly draining out of the bowl throughout the day. I went in there and cleaned it up very thoroughly, this has happened before when a piece of whatever is stuck there and the ball valve doesn't quite close all the way. Is there a gasket or...

Hi, I have a 2000 310 Sundancer, and I popped off one of the white plastic rub rail end caps. Lost to the sea... Anyone have an extra one handy I can buy? Or a source for a replacement? Thanks, Keith

Not sure which one bother me more. The guy who posts "I just bought a XXXX - please tell me if I made a mistake..." - shouldn't you post this BEFORE you buy it? The other post is the ambiguous title post - "Please help".

Hi - the brass logo emblems on the sides of my radar arch (2000 310 Sundancer) really could use some refinishing. What's been done by anyone to refresh these? Are they just held on by adhesive, like car emblems, or are they screwed in somewhere? Thanks, Keith

Hi, I'm finally putting the Weaver Davits on my dinghy & boat - but I'd rather use the quick release plates instead of bolting the davits right onto the swim platform. I see they're about $100 new, but I'm wondering if anyone has any take-off's from a previous boat they have lying around for...

I'm thinking of adding the U-shaped cutouts to my front isenglass, so I can zip them up for better visibility without removing the whole piece. Question is, who prefers the U cutouts to be U-shaped, or an upside-down U? And why... I think the way I drive, I'm better off with them rolling up to...

So, yesterday we head off to a popular spot on Fire Island, and we pull into the marina. My friend gets a slip, and I'm assigned the slip next to him. He pulls in with no problem (a little help from his bow thruster), and as I'm pulling in, the wind picks up. It's a bit of a tight squeeze, and...

Hi, I'm adding some of those metal hooks to the back wall of the transom locker in my 310 DA. I'm mildly nervous about drilling into the fiberglass, and advice or opinions on what size screws to use? Don't want to use skimpy screws; the lines we're hanging will be wet... but don't want to come...

Hi, I had a new Kohler Generator installed in my boat last season (don't know model off the top of my head). The low coolant code came up yesterday; I would add coolant, but the fluid showing in the outside reservoir is yellow; the coolant my service center sells is pink. Can I mix the two...

Hi, I'm having some serious engine problems with my boat. It's a 2000 310 - with the 350 Mag I/O's. It's running rough, and there's a smell of gasoline from the exhaust. We had a compression test performed. I'm getting zero compression from one cylinder on each of the port and starboard...

Hi, After the engines are recomissioned, is it normal for the sparkplugs to be fouled and need claening or replacement? Or will the excess fogging oil eventually burn off?

Hi, I'm going to add a davit system to my 2000 310 DA this season. Does anyone out there know the depth of my swim platform? I'm trying to decide between the hurley davits and a more traditional flip-up set of davits. I have a 8 1/2' inflatable with a 6-hp four-stroke. I've just been laying...

I'm not sure if I can call this "Official" or not, but there doesn't seem to be a specific general thread about this model boat. This Saturday I'm trading in my 2000 260DA on a 2000 310DA; here's the specs on the new boat: 350 Mag Bravo 3's, tan camper canvas, GPS, etc etc etc. Everythng...

Hi, I'm "upgrading" my 2000 260DA to a 2000 310DA this week. I purchased and had installed the 545 into the 260; and the 310 currently has the 182C installed. I haven't had the chance to really delve into the 182C, so I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me an opinion if I should bring...

Hi, We're in the process of "upgrading" our 2000 260DA to a 2000 310DA. So I've been all over the net looking at different photos, specs, etc etc etc. (By the way, there isn't an "Official 310DA" thread here, is there?). Anyway, the interior of the '98 310 is bizarre! The head is in the...

Hi, I'm pretty sure I've checked all the 545 threads before posting this littany of questions. If I missed the previously posted answers, please point me in the right direction. I have the 545 since last year. One feature I like is the tracks in the chart screens, but is there any way to...

Well, since there's at least another 100 days or so until launch, all I keep doing is going over in my head stupid things to do to the boat. Anyone else suffering from this? Anyhow, we have our anchor (danforth-type) hanging out at the front tip of the boat. And it is ugly. Matte steel I...
