hey, all. So at the end of last season I bumped something but it was near the end of the season so I didn’t anything about it. Now that spring is here and the boat will soon be back in the water, I was wondering if it is worth pulling the prop to have it refinished. I will be putting it up for...

good evening, all. This is my first offseason with a bigger boat that stays in a wet slip. My boat was hauled out in November and pressure washed and blocked for winter. I’m now ready to get it prepared for its splashing and I have a question about bottom painting as this is new to me. I...

Do most of you remove your batteries and store inside on a trickle charger all winter or do you just disconnect them and leave them in the boat? On my previous small boats and jet skis there were one or two batteries max and so I always stored the batteries inside all winter and then charged...

Another question regarding winterizing; Is it better to change the oil before winterizing so fresh oil is sitting in it all winter or wait until the spring so it starts the season with fresh oil?

Good evening, all. Hoping to find some advice on how best to winterize my 320DA 5.7l v-drives. This boat is very different from my small bowriders so looking for some solid instructions on how to winterize the boat. Im confident that I can do it just worried I might miss something and cause big...

So, I have a newly purchased 2005 320DA. When I delivered it to its new summer slip upon purchasing, I realized that I did not have a shore power adapter. The marina let me borrow a y adapter but I really need to get my own so my question is what do I need? I see a lot of numbers listed out...

So, I took my boat, 05 320DA, to its new slip a couple weekends ago. It took a couple hours and the boat performed flawlessly. Two weekends ago I took it out for the first time from its new home which brings me to my issues. #1. I went to throttle up to get on plane and before I really got any...

Hey, all. Does anyone have a Sea Doo Spark? I haven't had any PWC's in a few years. I always had higher end of the lineup Yamaha's.

Does anyone have insure their boat with Erie? Maybe its just my agent but it doesn't seem as if Erie is all that qualified to insure bigger boats that are kept in the water. I see nothing included in my quote and my agent knows nothing of salvage coverage, fuel spill coverage and suggested a...

So, my 320DA has a standard cockpit cover. I am going back and forth between a slant back or a camper canvas. I much prefer the aesthetics of the slant back but much prefer the space savings of the camper. Is the camper a lot more desirable for resale? I currently have front isinglass and the...

I just received a quote for a new to me 320 Sundancer. 2 questions: #1. It is an actual cash value policy. Do most people prefer an agreed value policy for boats such as mine. I always get an agreed value policy for my classic cars but never have on my smaller boats. #2. The quote was provided...

I am considering having SeaDeck installed on my 320DA. I have a few questions; how much does that typically cost for a boat around a 320's size? How durable is it? Life expectancy? Does it get really hot? Also, does anyone on the Upper Chesapeake know a reputable installer?

So, I just purchased a 2005 320DA and am thinking that I should probably rebed any all deck fittings. What all should I look to rebed and what is the best product to use? While I am at it should I replace the portlight gaskets?

I recently bought a 320 Sundancer. It will be my first boat left in a wet slip. I will be moving it to the its new home in late April and I was wondering what is the best knot to permanently tie to a piling? Do you use bow, stern and springlines? When you leave the slip for the day do you just...
