    Lost Port engine Communication on Smartcraft and gauges.

    Cruising along at 22k on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and all of a sudden there was a low fuel alarm (tank is 3/4 full) and all dash gauges are at "no reading"and smartcraft readings for the Port engine are dashed lines. Starboard gauges work perfectly as does the starboard engine on the...

    I hit the lottery - In a boat way.

    I have recently joined a yacht club which offers fuel at a discounted price. I called Thursday and found out Diesel is currently $1.90/gallon. For giggles I called the place I normally fuel up and it was $2.50/gallon. Needless to say I went to the yacht club and put my card in for a...

    Intelli-Power Converter/Charger Dead?

    Hello- I have a 50a Intelli-Power Marine PD 2050 Charger and Converter on my 460 Sundancer. Yesterday, I went down to the boat and noticed all lights were off on the charger. Seeming rather odd, I checked the batteries and they are under 11.25v. I have done some checking on the charger and...

    Who says you can't get a new dink?

    After a year of looking for a dinghy suitable for our 460 DA, I came upon this sweet little Zodiac Yachtline 340 with a 30hp Honda. She is a 1997 with 200 hours, boathouse kept on a rack when not in use. She has a small stain on the seat from some hydraulic fluid, otherwise near perfect. Now...

    460 Sundancer Electrical Question

    Now on month 5 with the new-to-me 460 and still am having battery issues. I have two 8D batteries which are for the house and for starting. I am wondering if anyone has ever converted to L16's or T145's x 6 for the house and a few Group 31 for start batteries? Anyone know how the schematics...

    460 Sundancer Power distribution question

    Hello- I'm still working through the kinks on my new to me boat 4 months after the purchase. Here is something that I just can't figure out- While on the hook, my 8D house battery runs down completely overnight. This weekend it got so low that it shut itself OFF! To me, it appears, there are...

    460 Sundancer Cockpit table upgrade

    One of the features I absolutely love about the the 460 Sundancer is its' grand cockpit; although, the factory table is just not up to par for dining in this area. A change was needed, so my wife and I ran across this teak-like table which is expandable by 14" (Leaf folds up under main portion...

    460 Sundancer Sump Box overhaul.

    Last weekend while draining the galley sink, I noticed a strange whirling noise coming from the drain. I opened the cabin floor access door to check on the sump box. Sure enough, the Rule 2000gph had come loose from the basket and was causing a mini-whirlpool tub in my sump box! I tapped the...

    HELP! Diesel Engines in 460 Sundancer

    I am 1 week away from becoming the owner of a very nice 2003 460 Sundancer. When researching this boat, it was represented as having the 480CE motors (446HP) and now the survey comes back with the CUMMINS 6CTA8.3M4 (417hp). Does anybody know what differences there are in these motors other than...

    Is there a 460 in my near future?

    So here it goes....after nearly a year of contemplating a move up due to a marriage, my fiance' has given the green light to go look for the new boat. We decided on the 460 since we both love the dancers and the layout below. I've been reading almost every post ever written on CSR about the...

    Throttle/Shifter pressure

    Since I have owned my 330 for 10 years I was wondering if any other Sea Ray owners experience "heavy throttles/shifters". I have never replaced my shift/throttle cables but have noticed increased pressure required to push the throttles forward. (When I say hard pressure I'm 6'3" and 220 lbs and...

    A perfect Christmas Eve Day

    I woke up Christmas Eve Day to heavy fog covering the great Northwest. I made a few business calls, stopped in to visit a client and then the day started to dwindle down from there...everyone else seemed to be closed. I headed home to do some computer work when my GF calls and tells me it is...

    Bravo III Shifting funny..engine dies.

    I've owned my boat for 9 years and in the past month I've experienced something really strange. About a month ago I was returning to my slip and idling down the channel. I was backing into my slip and just shifted both engines in neutral when my starboard engine died. I restarted, but it...

It appears there has been more oil leaking as it puddles and then runs down the stringer. I touched the underside of the engine until I found the source..It apprears that the oil is...
