    Portable AC

    Somebody gave me a 12000 BTU Portable AC. Couple of feet tall and 66 lbs. 115V. Has wheels, easy to transport. Anybody use these in cabin? Too many BTUs? Wear the battery down quickly? Safe? Just looking for advice....thanks

    My 99 270 Sundancer took water on in the cabin well

    Yesterday took about two inches of water when parked in the river. I bailed it out and it's fine. It happened once before but I thought I had left the hatch open and rain came in. It appears the water is coming in from somewhere else...but only sometimes? Help!! Thanks

    Easy repair or bigger deal?

    1999 Sundancer 270SE with single 5.7 Bravo II. Hopefully just a bad seal around the cap on the heat exchanger? What else can I expect? Thanks

    BUZZING ALARMS

    Hey gang--1999 270 Sundancer. Mercruiser 5.7 Bravo II. Lots of work done to the engine and ran well all weekend. I was pulling my son on intertube running up and down about 3000 RPMs. When I slowed her down an alarm sounded. Temp and pressure seemed fine (it wasn't the overheat alarm, that...

    Hose melted and buzzing alarm

    Recently had a 1-1/4" through hull fitting installed to overcome a corroded intake on a 5.7 Mercruiser (99 Sundancer 270). Yesterday running great, temp at 150 (better than ever running at 3500 RPM) so appears through hull was the answer. Too good to be true because buzzing alarm started...

    Installation of a "through hull" to cool engine

    I have a 99 270 Sundancer. After two mechanics and a lot of $$ he took the outdrive off to discover the transom assy was basically deteriorated. I was having major overheat issues and it was clear that the transom assy bushing had basically closed off the artery where water should be flowing...

    Mercruiser 5.7 250HP Bravo 1

    Bought a 1999 Sundancer 270. Changed out the pulleys, manifolds (they had cracked because of overheating). Still having a heck of a time with the belt. When the belt pops off I lose steering and it overheats (belt runs all the pumps). Anybody had this much trouble with the belt coming off...

    Cruisair? With small generator?

    My "new to me" 1999 doesn't have a generator or AC. Someone at the marina mentioned these Cruisair units work great with a portable gen. Has anybody tried this? Where do you operate the generator? I've heard many concerns around the dangers of generators on the boat.

    1999 SeaRay Sundancer 270

    Does anybody have a 99 Sundancer that doesn't have the cabin hatch that is also steps up to the bow? My title claims the boat is a 1999 but every 99 I've seen has those walk up steps by the helm...man those look convenient to access bow!

    Recommendations for Garmin GPS and marine radio

    Just bought a 1999 Sundancer 270 that hadn't been used in a few years. Basically nothing works on it. Radio is seized up; Garmin dead... Best Garmin for light fishing and mostly just cruising? Will likely take trips from Merritt Island up to St. Aug on Intercoastal. Thoughts on radio? Best...

    1999 SeaRay Sundancer 270

    Glad to be a first time boat owner but didn't start out well. I bought a 1999 270 from a guy who had it trailered in his garage for 2+ years. Engine cranked fine there but after I bought and put in water I realized ...power steering pump bad, raw water pump bad, belt broke in half, heat...
