The Master Controller (p/n 1927.3) for my RCL-100 (Model URP-102) is putting out low voltage and needs to be replaced. In doing some work on the spot light I dropped it and damaged the brush assembly (p/n HRMK 2300) - this is the the four pins that are on springs and touch the rings. Both...

I updated my radar and chartplotter this spring and just getting around to cleaning out the garage. Before pursuing other channels, thought I'd offer it here at a very reasonable price. Both are in working order and in very good/clean condition. The RL80C works fine and the display is clear...

I'm replacing my radar (and chartplotter) with a Garmin open array version. The install instructions require a ground be installed from the 'radar pedestal to a water ground location'. I've not heard of 'water' ground before but after looking it up I believe that this would be the negative of...

I purchased these from a fellow forum member when I had my 340. They were used when I purchased and I’ve never used them. I had them as a spare since it was much less than the insurance deductible for new props. The props are in great condition, no nicks or dings. With the new boat, it is...

From a recent conversation with a dock member regarding winterization they were not planning on changing their (diesel) oil because they had not put many hours on the boat this season. The PO of our new boat did the same last season before I purchased … so it is not uncommon thinking, although...

I am adding a sea water anchor wash to our boat (2004 420DB) and would like to add a Carling breaker/switch in one of the blank accessory locations to power the pump. When I opened the DC panel it appears sealed with connectors mounted on the back for the wiring to enter/leave. Thought I'd...

We’ve been generator challenged this season – first with the generator surging and second that it only runs for a few minutes at a time. The surging was fixed with a complete tear down and ultrasonic cleaning from a local marina – varnish in the jets. When reassembled the idle screw that sets...

In a recent conversation there was a (strong) opinion that you must unplug from shore power BEFORE starting the engines, otherwise the alternators are trying to charge the batteries as is the AC/DC convertor and this will damage the system. I've not heard this before. I always start the...

I have the 496 (closed cooling) with Bravo III's - last week when out the starboard engine hydrolocked. We had idled into a lock and the engine would not start when exiting ... it sounded a lot like a dead battery and as a result of persistent attempts I spun out the starter. Back at the...

Ok, so this is part 2 of my Bravo III drive problems! Over the summer I've found water in the bilge (I keep a very clean and dry bilge, so this is noticeable to me) that only occurs when underway. That is, no water enters when docked. On inspection from the ER, there is water (splashed) high...

Over the summer the starboard drive has been slow to drop into forward. The boat has about 320hrs on it. The marina have pulled the drive and inspected the clutch and gears - they provided the following comments: We have taken your stbd drive upper apart. Your STBD gear set is a 32/27 (32...

I have a brand new CMAP MAX chip (NA-M026) which covers the Great Lakes and North East Atlantic coast. My local Chandlery sold me the wrong chip -my chartplotter will only accept NT+ cards and now they will not take it back. Which gives someone an opportunity! I paid $310 with tax - would...

Went out on Saturday for the first outing of the year and when filling out my log, noticed that the water pressure on the port side (@1030rpm) was about 7psi and on the starboard side was 20psi. We turned around and headed back, on inspection saw nothing obvious why the starboard side would be...

We had a new camper top built for our 2003 340 in the spring. They did a great job, looks good but ... a couple things showed up that we haven't been able to resolve so I wanted to check with you guys to see if you can help out. The most significant issue is that they did not account for the...

I'm looking for CMAP NT+ card for the St. Lawerence & Rideau Canal area (NA-C202.32) and a card for the Lake Erie/Ontario & Trent-Severn area (NA-C103.32). If you have these card(s) that you are not using and are willing to part with pls drop me a note. Thanks, Tom

I have a heat exchanger that needs to be replaced in my 2003 340 Sundancer (496 engines). I have the part number but here in Ottawa the price from Mercury Canada is $1700! On-line in the US they range around $900 +/- . I haven't purchased any parts from a US on-line site (its a new boat for...

I'm looking at purchasing a 2001 Sundancer 340 with the 7.4MPI engines. The survey uncovered that the starboard engine was not putting out the same RPM as the port engine - 3900 vs. 4400. The current owner has been diligent (through a certified marine mechanic) but unsuccessful in resolving...

My wife and I are just in the process of buying our first cruiser and have an offer on a 2001 Sundancer 340 with the 7.4MPI MerCruisers. We have had a survey completed with only one finding based on the sea trial - at WOT the starboard engine runs at about 4150 RPM, which is about 250RPM less...
