    Boat Sold - Many Thanks CSR

    I just completed the sale of my 1994 370 EC. Bittersweet day, but my health and other issues made it time to part ways. The new owner takes delivery this weekend. I left him a note with tips and hints, one of which was to quickly join Club Sea Ray. This forum has been a great source of help and...

    7.5 Quicksilver Generator, no electrical output

    Due to my wife's illness, we have not used the boat this summer. I recently fired up the engines at the dock, including the generator. After I shut down the mains, I decided to throw the breakers and put a load on the generator. To my surprise, there is no output from the generator. Any ideas...

    Fluxgate compass location

    A friend is considering making an offer on a 1998 370 Sundancer. It is not equipped with an autopilot, something he wants very much. He asked me where I thought a fluxgate compass could be mounted. Any help would be appreciated.

    The Admiral and I are considering going to the Miami Boat Show in 2017. I'd love advice on where to stay, how to get around (with the split locations), etc. This will be my first major show experience. Thanks!

    CO Detector 1994 370 EC

    I have a 1994 370 EC with gas engines. The PO had removed the CO detector and replaced it with a household smoke/CO detector. It works, but is far too sensitive, as even a passing whiff of exhaust will set it off. I can see the wiring from the original unit behind the wall panel, and wish to...

    GFI Breaker trips while on Generator

    My GFI receptacle breaker is tripping (after about an hour) but only while on the generator. It does not trip on shore power. We were out yesterday and after about an hour, it tripped. I went below and reset the breaker and it tripped again after about 15-20 minutes? Back at the dock on shore...

    Generator/Starboard engine problem

    OK, this is puzzling. I am having problems keeping my generator running for more than an hour. When I fire up the main engines, I have 14 volts on each side. After I crank the generator, the voltage begins to drop on the starboard side. Gradually, over about an hour, the voltage on the starboard...

    Windshield Screw Cover 1994 370 EC

    Just got my order from Taylor Made and the profile of the material received is not what I expected. Only 1/2 inch thick at the bottom and not nearly as thick as the cavity presently filled with the dried out foam material. I thought it would be u-shaped top and bottom to slip over the metal, but...

    Custom Mattress - Any advice, cost estimate, etc.?

    Age is taking a told on our old bones and the wife and I are thinking about buying a new mattress for the 370 EC. We have a 2" memory foam topper on the OEM mattress, but it is not doing the trick. Any experiences you can share? How much does one cost? Thanks.

    Waste Deck Fill Question

    My holding tank has hit the 3/4 mark over winter and I can't reason that it has been from use. Is it possible that the o-ring on the cap has gone bad and it is leaking rain water and washdown water into the tank? Anyone had this happen?

    Holding Tank Discharge Pump Problem

    I have a '94 370 EC, equipped with Vacuflush, holding tank and a discharge pump. It's not a big deal, since I can usually find a convenient pump-out facility, but the discharge pump does not function. The pump will run, but it does not discharge anything. Seems it could be a clogged line, or the...

    7.4 Bluewater engine breaker

    Hi folks. Went to start up the engines after a 3-week break. Port started after a few tries. Then the starboard turned over maybe 10 seconds. I backed off, then hit the starter again and....nothing. After a few minutes, I opened the hatch and decided to push the red breaker button on top of the...

    Holding Tank Indicator Question

    My 1994 370 EC has a Vacuflush system,with a macerator in addition to the holding tank. I noticed this morning that the indicator on the main power panel shows 3/4, which is the first stage of tank level warning. Nothing new there, Ive seen that before. However, the word "POWER" is illuminated...

    370 EC Masthead Light

    I have a 1994 370 EC. It came with a combo masthead/anchor light that is about 4 feet long, maybe a little less. Does anyone know if there is a shorter masthead light pole for this boat? It's a bridge clearance issue running at night and I have a separate stern light, so I don't need the height...

    Can't Get Port Windows Open

    I need to replace my screens on the port windows, but the windows are stuck in the closed position. I have pulled on the knob as hard as I dare, but they won't budge. Any ideas on how to get them open without damage? Thanks! BTW, It's a 1994 370 EC.

    1994 370 EC windshield vent gasket

    I have a 1994 370 EC. The rubber gasket material around the power windshield vent has failed and it leaks like a sieve. Both the gasket where the hinge is (top) and the gasket around the sides and bottom, all need replacing. Any ideas where to look? Thanks in advance. Love this site.

    Port Engine Not Turning Over

    OK, here's a new one for me. Today I decided to run the engines for a bit, since I had not been out in 3 weeks. The port engine would not turn over. I cranked the starboard engine and then tried the port engine again and it turned over and started up. Keep in mind that I have a battery charger...

    Cockpit Faucet Replacement

    Horn wiring 1994 370 EC

    I have a wiring problem with the horn for my 1994 370 EC. It came about as I was replacing the horn with a new one and found that the wire were just barely long enough to stick through the deck. Apparently they were puled tight from below when the boat was built. I think I have a break in one of...

    Newbie from NC

    Hello all. I have just purchased a very nice 1994 370 EC from a local franchised auto dealer. He mainly used the boat as a floating condo and is not knowledgealbe at all about the boat, so I will be asking lots of questions. I have been boating about 19 years and have a USCG 100 ton Master...
