300 Sundancer questions.

Fellow 300-ers: if you have a sub in the cockpit, where did you put it?

I'm not convinced I need one, and I certainly don't want a booming system, but I'm thinking at 10" Fusion to go along with my 4 Fusion speakers. I'd rather have a free-air mount than use some kind of enclosure. How about below the helm seat?

The factory included a 10” sub as part of the optional premium sound system. They mounted it under the helm seat facing forward on my 2004 300DA.

Great, okay ..... so that's basically below your feet, next to the hatch/door?

When you open that door under the helm seat, do you see the back of the speaker, wiring etc? Just wondering how they did it. I don't store much under there.

Yes that’s where it is. It’s inside a box enclosure so nothing was visible. The wires ran out starboard side of box and through the loom into the cabin. The amp for it was mounted behind the DC power panel in the cabin.
 
For those that still have the Ray215 VHF with the mic holder in place on the port side of the helm -- how is your mic holder held in place?

I tracked down a replacement, and I can see the two holes. But I can't tell if I need screws to thread in there, or a bolt/nut/washer combo. I'm taking the VHF out anyway so access shouldn't be a problem.
 
Turns out the screws that hold it in are the same ones holding in my VHF radio.

I spent the last 6 months trying to find a mic holder for the Ray215, since it's gone but the 2 holes are still there.

I finally found a pair on eBay the other day. Today I got the first one in place and as I'm tightening the screws, I slipped and broke the mic holder in half :mad: Let's see if it will superglue back together.
 
Mine has the v groove plastic holder and two screws into the side of helm casing to the port side....
 
New steering wheel in finally (stock one was falling apart). I'm glad I got a new hub too, as the new bolts are different threads. I have a bunch of three-jaw pullers but only the one with flat ends would work since there's only a small gap between the back of the hub and the start of the bellows. I had been on the hunt for a first-generation Mustang Fastback for years, so when I decided to get the 300 instead, I needed something on the boat to keep the Mustang dream alive.

Looking for a part - 2003 DA 300
819888 CATCH, ELBOW CHR 1 1/8" this is for the door entering the saloon area. I have the spring latch, but I am missing the catch. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Nice info Phil! I might get one to replace the one I fabricated!! A lot less expensive than WM!
 
After heavy rain for 24 hours, I went to check inside the boat for leaks and one of the stb portlights was not closing all the way. The Bomar gaskets are old and compressed, so I ordered new ones. The bottom/middle dog latch doesn't even come close to tight, but I tightened that for now and the water stopped. There was water all along that top shelf and running aft along the shelf above the settee cabinets, then down behind where the AC vent is. A day later I came back later at night, and luckily my kids had left the aft cabin lights on because when I turned on the breakers, there was the dreaded standing water on the carpet (up against where the freshwater tank is). I shop vac'd it out, and as far as I can tell it's not saltwater. Just wondering: could this standing water all be from rainwater getting in through the window and running down to the lowest point? The boat was wrapped all winter and this is the first real rain we've had. The boat has been out twice this season.

Group ,
I have a few issues with my 2005 Sea Ray 300.
Just got delivered to SML this past weekend.
#1 Generator Starts right up. Runs for approximately 1 min and shuts off. Restarts - same.
#2 Stereo - Cant seem to get it to work. Has a Clarion Stereo with a Disk changer down below. I think its stock from factory.
#3 The lighter plug under the helm area doesnt work

Some thoughts.
Generator, did u check your oil level? Check your impeller, pull hose to make sure old impeller pieces aren’t blocking your flow, these prevented mine from running right.
Stereo? Start w fuses at the amps and behind radio.
Lighting plug Could be a fuse or may have disconnected itself. May even have corroded. Check under helm. I’m sure others can put more info in. My thoughts on where to start.
 
My stereo only works in the cabin. The amp for the cockpit speakers is blown in my case, but everything in the cabin works. You might have amp issues like Jimmi says. There is also a stereo amplifier breaker in the DC panel. When you say not working -- nothing comes on or you just don't get any sound? Do you have the Clarion remote at the helm?
