    Help me understand how my motor cooling system works

    Thank you, that's what I'm looking for. I have a friend with the same boat and he has a water pickup on the underside of his boat for the raw water. Having those downloadable manuals would be great. I have lots of automotive engine experience but less with marine motors.

    Help me understand how my motor cooling system works

    My 93 sundancer with a 5.7 and alpha 1 has a sticker that says "freshwater cooled" on a pressurized tank (with a radiator cap) that is on the front of the block. I was told that coolant surrounds the block and goes through a heat exchanger that is cooled with water from outside, which all...

    I hate my seats (93 sundancer 230)

    I think you might be right about moving to a different boat. This one was my trial boat and I learned a bunch about boats from having it. Thanks for the input. I'll see if there are any marine junkyards around me with a tilt column I could look at.

    I hate my seats (93 sundancer 230)

    Long story short. I hate helm bench seat and cockpit. I have a 93 searay 230 sundancer. It has a bench seat up front, and a non tilt, non adjustable wheel. Since there is a berth underneath the seat and helm are close to the floor. My question is this, has anybody changed up the seating...

    Boat cover while in rack storage?

    I like the idea of a full cover to protect everything, at least from the gunwales up. I think I can keep up with the wax/ cleaning on the rest of the boat to keep it in good shape.

    Boat cover while in rack storage?

    Thank you, I think I need a waxing and maintenance class to make sure I take care of this thing. It was previously kept in an indoor rack warehouse so the UV damage has been kept to a minimum. I want to keep the canvas looking good for as long as possible.

    Boat cover while in rack storage?

    I think what I am looking for is this type of cover, but without any straps that go underneath. My thought is if the entire thing had a "drawstring" of sorts that I could cinch up from the stern once it was over the bow and bimini.

    Boat cover while in rack storage?

    Thank you, Ideally I would like to leave my top all put together and just throw a cover over the entire boat. Is what I want to do not standard practice?

    Boat cover while in rack storage?

    I recently moved my 93 230 sundancer to a rack storage facility that is outdoors, I am in Washington state so it will be exposed to rain, some sun, and more rain throughout the year. I currently have a full camper canvas enclosure (is that the right term for it?) That I break down to a bimini...

    New owner - 93 230 Sundancer

    Outdrive is a Alpha 1. Hauled the boat out to install a new transducer and GPS, overall the hull seems like it is in great shape. Small chip and some scratches up front. Is this worth patching, or just covering? Also need to figure out about checking and possibly changing transmission level. I...

    New owner - 93 230 Sundancer

    Hello! I am the new owner of this 230 Sundancer, it seems like it has been fairly well maintained and has only had two owners before me. I am looking forward to fixing a few known problems and getting out on the water. Currently I know: -swim step wash hose is broken (sprayer handle is gone)...
