Can someone please tell me where the shower / condensate sump pump is located on the 540 Sundancer. No matter how hard I try I cannot seem to uncover anywhere.

Just ordered a Sherwood 1710C water pump to replace the current one which is old and has a leaky seal. I noticed that the 1710C comes with the flange mounted on the pump and the flange has a threaded end. So, once I take off the 2 bolts holding the current water pump in place will I pull...

Everything has been fine until I replaced the impeller on the port side of my 420AC. For those of you not aware, there is next to no room to change that impeller and I was on top of, around and all over that motor in order to get the new impeller in. The white smoke began after that project...

I have a '97 420AC with a set of Racor 900's for each motor. There is a yellow handled petcock which allows you to choose between the two filters as to which one you are currently using to filter your fuel for that particular motor. I have found that when I turn the petcock to select the...

I have a 1997 420AC with three Cruisair air conditioners (2 -8000btu and 1-16000btu). They all operate of of the same water pump. The 16000btu unit is toast and when pricing the major brands, I noticed that Cruisair is more expensive than all of the others. If I wanter to install a new...

I changed out my impellers yesterday, and one side lost 3 splines...found them all in the immediate pump housing lodged in the 4 water vents of the housing...on the other side I lost 5 splines and they are nowhere to be found in the pump housing...where do I look next? I'm pretty sure the the...

I have a Westerbeke 8.0BTD diesel generator with 1650 hours. Has been running great, recent oil change and impeller change. Ran great all weekend, then I walked into the boat, boat was warm, looked at electrical panel, no power from generator. Genset was still running nicely, no odd noises...

On Monday I removed the 2 - 30amp shore power cables at my slip from the boat and relocated the boat over to a service dock for the past few days to have some fiberglass work done. While on that service dock I used a spare 30 amp cable I had to get shore power to the one side of the panel that...

I have a '97 420 AC with a Westerbeke 8.0BTD genset with roughly 950 hours. In years past when out on the hook for a few days , with the gen running nonstop, we never had any soot issues...but recently I am noticing some dark soot residue on the gelcoat surrounding the water/exhaust outlet on...

I have a Cruisair SX7-R2 AC system which is original to my 1998 420AC Aft Cabin. Recently I was reading "LO PS" on the remote control panel. When I had the unit serviced 2 weeks ago, it was low on R22 coolant. Once the coolant was topped off, the alert message on the control panel went away...

Hey folks (420AC owners in particular), The time has come for me to replace my holding tank vent filter. A local fellow 420AC owners said I should look in the engine room on the port side for the cylindrical filter, which I did extensively, to no avail. He has gas engines, which might make it...

I recently purchased a 10' Nautica dinghy. This boat has what amounts to an illegal nav light setup...red/green in front and an outboard engine cowling light that is supposed to act as a stern light. Here is the issue...additionally, there is a spot to stick in a removable perko all around...

Hey Guys...1998 420 Aft cabin...when trying to free a stuck companionway hatch door, I managed to get it off track, and in so doing pulled the left/bottom set of slider trucks away from the hatch door assembly. Now I have a feeling I have some broken plastic mucking up the bottom slider...

1. freshwater pumps have been running every hour to repressurize the freshwater system...for me, thats not regular. 2. Forward emergency bilge has been sounding and dumping about a cup of water eah hour...definitely unusual. 3. I have isolated the leak...

I am intereested in putting a wireless weather station on the boat with the display mounted somewhere in the salon. Does anyone have a unit that they would recommend as far as standing up to the coastal elements and one with well rounded data ?Thanks in advance, Jeff

This question goes out specifically to those 420AC owners who have diesel motors and have changed their own impellers. Thanks to some advice from Frank, I got the starboard impeller replaced this afternoon...no sweat. Thanks to those who suggested the zip-tie idea....definitely makes lining up...

Everything with vacuflush system has been just fine for 6 months. Holding tank is now filling to "full" in a matter of 2 days with no one on the boat. Bowl levels seem to remain the same throughout the day with no noticeable loss of water, and scalloped opening rim of toilet has been checked to...

Since my recent purchase of the boat, this will be my first seawater pump impeller change with this motor/pump arrangement. The engine is a CAT 3116 and upon first observation of the pump mounted to the engine, it appears that the only white paint missing around any of the bolts on the pump...

I have a 1997 Cruisair sx7 a/c unit (one of three) on my sea ray 420ac cruiser. The unit has an SMXll controller. All three of these unts have been performing flawlessly since I bought the boat in January. This week the forward stateroom unit stopped working. Symptoms: SMXll controllers...

Hey guys... I haven't had any experience with the cruise-air A/C units so far, because they have all functioned well. But I noticed a forward bilge pump go off the other day and when I lifted the hatch in the galley, I noticed standing water in that compartment. It was not coming from the sump...
