I'm wondering if those of you who have purchased a brand new Sea Ray have experienced an abundance of construction debris in your new boat? Since taking possession of our factory new 2008 330 last summer, I have removed 71 stainless steel screws of various size. When I found my first one last...

How important is sling positioning with respect to where the sling indicators are marked? I was told that as long as you are "close" or within a reasonable distance, you are fine. It would stand to reason that there is some margin here, but I would think that 'dead-on' is preferred. The...

Looking for some help with a faulty depth gauge. My depth gauge is located in my stdb. tachometer, part of the standard SmartCraft package from Mercury. It is not providing any reading at the moment, it is flashing 0.0 I turned the power off and tried it again, no luck. Wondering if I need...

The topic of CO with a camper top has been discussed at length here and I want to thank everyone for their thoughts- it got us thinking this winter as we were adding a camper top to our '08 330. We spent 4 hours on the boat yesterday with a highly technical IAQ meter- the TPI 1010. This is a...

Well, today was my day! I knew it was coming from reading other threads. First time out with the new camper top- strong and gusty winds at the dock today and the bow thruster could not overcome it. Lost the bow and it 'touched' the anchor of the 31 Searay in the slip next to me. Two...

Spent 4+ hours cleaning the cabin of our 330 today. Wondering what everyone else uses on the 'wood' trim in the cabin. I tried some furniture polish first, but found that WINDEX worked much better. I appreciate your input. Many thanks.

I had a chance to spend some time on the new 350 yesterday. I was really looking foward to seeing this boat up close. There were several features of the boat that I thought really stood out in the brochure. Once on board however, I feel that the 330 is a better boat for us. One of the key...

Just wondering from those who bought a new boat this year if you have had any regrets about the size, colour, price, model, etc. We bought an '08 330 and are thrilled, but a dock buddy of mine has been pretty distraught over his decison to buy a 290, really wishes now he had of stepped up...

I was wondering what items you take off the boat prior to storing and what items are ok to leave on for winter. I'm wondering about items such as PFDs, lines, fenders, dishes, utensils, even the master suite mattress. My thoughts are, if I can carry it, then take it off and store in the dry...

We are adding a full camper top to our 08/330 this coming winter. I was wondering if most camper top owners left the camper top up all the time, or if you stored it and used the angled aft cover when not on the boat? I see both being done at our marina. My concern is water accumulation on TOP...

No laughing please. Have a quick questions about the windlass on our new 2008 330DA. When retracting the anchor, is it advisable to use the engines to drive towards the anchor and not use the windlass to pull the boat along?? Thanks.

Was wondering what the general concensus is when it comes to what counts as below crusing speed? At what speed/rpm to most of you turn off your bilge blowers? Thanks

Was wondering if anyone has a solution for cleaning that really nice snap in carpet protector that Sea Ray provides for the cabin area? We've had our 2008 330DA for about a week and we already have a couple of stains on this. I tried to wipe these off with warm soapy water, but when they...

We are going to have a full camper top added to our 2008 330DA this fall and are looking for suggestions and ideas on how to have this built. I see several different styles at our marina and was looking for ideas on what to incorporate into ours from those of you that have them. Are there...

The vac flush on our new '08 330DA has stopped working twice in the past two days. The unit is not creating a vac. On both occasions it is possible that the head was flushed when the HEAD switch was in the off position in the panel. Wondering if this may cause the unit to lock out? I also...

I've read that the new '08 330DA offers a dedicated storage area for the 15" cockpit TV. Does anyone know where this space is? The boat offers tons of storage, but I have not uncovered the dedicated storage area that is being advertised. Thanks

What a great forum for a new boat owner- I expect to have lots of questions in the next few weeks and am appreciative of any feedback from you more experienced boaters. What is the general opinion on leaving the battery charger switch ON when hooked to shore power? I have been told two...

Was looking for some direction on the 12v power side of our new 330, our first cruiser. We spent part of the day on the hook yesterday with the kids and had most of the 12v power turned on- head, stereo, fresh water, all three fridges, cabin lights etc. I had asked the sales rep at the...

Hi everyone- what a great site. Very happy to have landed here. I am a new member to the Sea Ray family having just taken delivery of a 2008 330 Sundancer. I was a Cobalt day boat cruiser for the last few summers. I can't say enough about this boat. An amazing craft. We had the rare...
