    NAV / ANCHOR Lighting - Should be easy right?

    Our cruiser is 90 model Sundancer 350 with the two white lights on the mast and a running white light on the stern bulkhead and finally the red and green bow lights respectfully. I thought when in "Nav light mode" all running lights including the stern light are become illuminated. That is...

    Holding tank indicator lights messed up

    Hi all, I believe my holding tank is 20gallons. We have three lights next to the commode. I believe empty, half and red for full. Only the 1/2 illuminates ever. When we pump out, only about 5 gallons get extracted. Never any odor from vent. Boat is a 90 350 sundancer which later became the 370...

    Checking V-Drive Transmission levels

    I feel stupid asking this but how do you check the oil level in V-Drive transmissions? They are Hurth transmissions. Engines running? Engines off? etc.. Obviously I see the dip sticks. Automatic transmissions in cars require the engine to be running at idle to check. Same true for Hurth?

I had thought the start feature was to power up the seawater pump prior to powering up the compressors. I noticed water flowing out of vessel in run mode...
