My mechanic was adamant that only a fluid specific to the SeaStar hydraulic steering system be used; i.e., the Quicksilver fluid should not be used. A quart of the SeaStar stuff set me back $25 at the local marine store. Fill the reservoir to within 1/2 inch of the top and you're good to go.

Just moved my '05 340DA from Michigan City, IN to Erie, PA a wide-load run of about 480 miles for less than $3K. Made the run w/ everything off the arch and with the arch up. Talked to a number of haulers and only one indicated the arch would have to be removed. Considering how finicky...
Hi folks!
Bay Harbor Marina here on beautiful Presque Isle Bay in Erie, PA. We love the option of either running on Lake Erie or, when the lake is gnarly, in the quieter confines of the bay formed by the Presque Isle peninsula. On the bay-side, there are several inlets which will also...

I have heard that there are lots of "Sea Ray dollars" flowing into new boat deals; i.e., significant discounts to list price. Any experiences on this point that folks would like to share?
I am planning a similar project only on a '95 330DA and with a 23" flat panel HDTV. I'm not sure of your helm configuration, but on mine there appears to be sufficient access from the helm side to install a backer board, having first removed the breaker panel. I'm not comfortable attempting to...
Thanks for the reply! We do typically raise the drives to park, more as a precaution than anything. However, the areas off Presque Isle also tend to be very sandy.
Sea Ray lists the Draft w/ "sterndrives up" at 25" for the '95 330DA. I take "sterndrives up" to mean at maximum trim out...
Greetings to all ...
We are looking at a 380 Sundancer but have a concern we would like to vette on the forum.
One of our boating pleasures in the Erie, PA area is to anchor in shallow water off one of the many beaches around Presque Isle. The grand kids (and grandparents :wink:) have a blast...
