I hope you are right Todd! I plan to do that this week. If it works, that will be a cheap fix to a problem that drives my Admiral right up the wall. Want to keep her happy ; )

My water pressure from the dock is also very poor. Checked the water pressure on the hose leading into the boat and it was fine, but all three sinks had very little pressure. Opened the engine compartment and did not see any kinks in hoses (in fact the looked great). What should I do? (and spare...

I already have an electric winch mounted in my transome locker and can just roll it up onto my Nautley roll-on ramp.

I am thinking about purchasing a Zodiac Zoom 350 S. It is 11'6" LOA and it is in my budget, holds up to 6 people, carries 1433 # total weight and capable of having up to a 20 HP motor. I don't plan on taking any trips, just cruising arouind marina and will store it on my swim platform when not...

Just realized that Strange Weather had already addressed the issue and it seems the finger is not adjustable.

I am not sure Greg, but I have wondered the same thing. I thought the service manager at our marina said that the pressure finger was not adjustable. If anyone knows differently, I would like to hear from you. Thanks everyone!

Like Tarantula, I may try replacing the rode. Stay tuned (and say a quick prayer).

I would have thought that was the problem but I replaced the pressure finger in April of this year. Does that just need to be readjusted? Or is there something else?

I have a 2000 340 Sundancer and love the boat, but have problems with the windlass. The windlass (Lofrans Progress. 1 that powers via helm and foot pedals) will usually start pulling up the rode for a few feet and then it will just spin without grabbing the rode. We then have to pull up the rode...

Jason, I am curious about how you plan to mark your chain. What is the best way to do that?

AKB...wish I had followed the renaming procedures of my previous boat. Changed her name and then she started to have leaks, and ultimately a V-drive blow out on the big lake. Will not be renaming my current boat!!

Thanks for the advice guys! As always I appreciate the input.

Was on my boat for an over nighter for the first time this season on Saturday. When we went to bed we put the het on as it was suppose to get down to around 30 at night. Shortly after turning the heater on the thermostate showed a code (PS LO) and would shut down the heater. Also noticed that...

There is a guy near you (Holland, MI) who does canvas and carpeting. Company is called Canvas Specialties (Mark Smith owner). I don't know if he could help you out, but if he can not, maybe he can suggest someone in your area who could. You can reach him at 616-218-2470 (can take a while to get...

For those of you who may be interested in the reply from Sea Ray regarding putting my dinghy and motor on my swim platform, here is their reply: “Regarding adding the dinghy/motor to the swim platform, we would not recommend this and would caution against it. Tests have been conducted with a...

Thanks guys for all the feedback. I looked at the plate on the back of the dinghy and it said it's dry weight was 177 pounds. The 25 HP Merc weighs in at 114 pounds (not counting the 6.6 gallons in the gas tank). With that kind of weight (291 pounds minimum) and not knowing the weight limits for...

Not sure if this is the place to post this, so forgive me if it is not (newbie). I am looking to buy a Nautley Dinghy Ramp HD+ Roll-On Boat Lift. I just bought a 2000 Sea Ray 340 DA and I have an older 11.5 foot Zodiac RIB with a 25 HP Mercury. Some guys on here have said that leaving the dinghy...

Took up my cockpit carpets in 340 Sundancer and was surprised to see that the rubber backing had completely deteriorated and had been ground into the white flooring. Can't seem to clean it up no matter what I try (including Soft Scrub with bleach). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

First boat was named "Sandman" after putting it on a sand bar (oops). Second boat was named "Knot Right" - my kids use to tell me all the time.."Dad, you know you are not right, right?" - so just seemed like a natural fit...friend of mine who makes names for boats and put on the vinyl was very...

Just used Buff Magic and Pro Polish on my 2000 34 DA (from the rub rail down) and it took me one 8 hour day and a second 4 hour hour day (using the dual action polisher from Shurhold). Looks great and got a lot of compliments from guys at the marina. I work in a school so when I am on spring...
