Has anyone ever used one of these Sunforce 50022 5-Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger to maintain the battery? http://www.amazon.com/Sunforce-50022-Battery-Trickle-Charger/dp/B0006JO0TC I am getting a new 185 Sea Ray and will keep it in a slip without power and was wondering if these things...

I am looking for a small (<15 feet) wake ski boat that I can take the kids out for all the water toy activities (wake, ski, tubing + crabbing/fishing). I started looking at a Boston Whaler 130/150 super sport, but then looked at some used Sea Doo Sportsters jet boats. Even the Zodiac Projet...

I am starting to look into the bigger 40-45 foot Sundancers with diesel engines. Most of them won't let you open the windows with the exception of the front one. I am worried that is might get too hot inside. How many of you run the AC with a diesel generator during overnight stays on the...

I am thinking of moving up from my 320 to a 40+ sundancer (probably the 44). Have not seen any camper canvas type additions on the site. Is that not a good idea? How do people deal with the sun and bugs in the back of the boat? I am not a big fan of the Sea Ray Canvas that cuts down in the...

Does anyone know who made the original snap in carpet for the Sundancers (I have a 320, but I think they are all the same). A few of the snaps fell out and I want to replace them with the original snaps. They are the the little larger snap heads compared to the canvas snaps. If not I could...

My paddle wheel speed that is displayed on my SmartCraft display on my 06' 320 Sundancer is off by almost half. It could be a little dirty, or just not correctly calibrated. I only trust my GPS Raymarine C80 SOG. Is there a way to either get the SmartCraft to show the GPS SOG speed or can I...

I am looking for a Digital Barometer with Storm Warning simelar to my Suunto watch. Something that runs on battery and I can either put it by the help or the cabin. We get a few quick storms in the Bay once in a while and when you are on the hook at night I want to get a warning. What are...

Anyone know what replacement bulb to buy for the compass light on my 06 320 Sea Ray? The parts manual says: 1657816 BULB, COMPASS REPL (141788/156026/783761)

I am having problems with my 2.5yr old batteries on my 320 SeaRay. On the hook I can not run my fridges for more than 2 hrs before the voltage drops to the point where I have to use the emergency starter button. I did some research here and the spendy Optima Deep Cycle AGM batteries seem to...

I am trying to download the "free" raymarine Raytech software I read on the forum, but can't seem to find it on the Raymarine website. I want to build my routs on my PC using the Navionics card reader and then upload them to my C80. Is this the best/cheapest way?

I am planning my first cruise with our new 320 Sundancer. We have our boat up in the northern Chesapeake (Sassafras River) and I want to go down to St. Michaels then over the Annapolis and maybe stop in Baltimore on the way back. I am thinking a weeklong trip. Let me know if you have any...

Can anyone recommend a good book with graphics that show the different docking techniques? How to use the spring lines, docking under current/wind etc... http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/bd_cov_f.jpg http://byownerelectronics.com/flash/docking_school.html I seen these online, but...

I am ready to add the Fishfinder capabilities to my Raymarine C80 on my 320 Sundancer. It is obviouly easier to do the shoot through transducer, but is any of the two better? Thanks,

I am about to meet with a few canvas guys to order a custom Camper Canvas for my 06 320 Sundancer. I mainly want to cover the cockpit during the sunny time of the day and get some bug protection in the evening. I realize that there are a few options I might want to concider. What has worked...

I just got a new 320 and am looking into getting a tube/towable toy for the kids (6 & 10). What do you like and what works well? I was thinking something like this: or like this:

I am looking at buying a '00 to '04 320 or 340 sundancer this year and after looking through the forum and all the sales sites, I am getting more and more confused about the different engine types and sizes. I see anything from 5 - 8L engines and In/Outboard vs Inboard, V-Drives etc. It...

I have been browsing the forum for a while now, but joined today to find the perfect boat. Have been looking for a family cruiser for some time now and narrowed it down to Sea Ray. I need a boat big enough for our family of 4 (me, wife, boys 5 & 10) to cruise the Chesapeake on the weekends...

Just saying hi. Joined today to find the perfect boat. Have been looking for a family cruiser for some time now and narrowed it down to Sea Ray. I need a boat big enough for our family of 4 (me, wife, boys 5 & 10) to cruise the Chesapeake.
