    Official 280 Sundancer Thread

    Something else that can restrict flow are the faucet aerators. They clog with coarse particles and can completely inhibit flow. Maybe worth a check.

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    i figured the swing was caused by dropping anchor when they lost power. Guess we'll know eventually.

    2006 DB52 Ventilation - Fresh Air

    One possibility on our boat is to repurpose the dryer vent as an air intake. There is easy access to the aft air conditioner from the hull vent. We removed the washer/dryer so it's not used at this time, and all the replacements I have seen are ventless. I would prefer vented, but I just...

    2006 DB52 Ventilation - Fresh Air

    This is one of the main (possibly only) negatives of the DB boats, in my opinion. If I remember correctly, the lack of opening side ports in the design is (was) to achieve CE category B (offshore) rating. I have spent some time trying to think of solutions short of running the air conditioner...

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    It wasn't something as "official" as a cover plate. As I remember, there is essentially a crevice on the inboard side of the valance. I think I took a few pictures to help me blind-fish from the sofa area. Let me see if they are still around...

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    A few questions: - Does it pump the bowl/line empty when flushed? - Does the bowl hold water with the valve closed? - After flushing, does any vacuum at all get created? Could be something stuck in the duckbills, a problem with the toilet valve seal, or worn-out duckbills.

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    It would depend on the model, I guess. The one I have is two separate units, each with their own compressor, and the bottom being a freezer drawer. The freezer is truly a freezer. Just like with residential units, bottom drawer freezers or chest freezers are usually best as the cold air stays...

    Anyone Charter a boat in the BVI?

    I did in May of 2022. We chartered a boat called Jan's Felion with three other couples. Strange name, awesome boat and crew! We had a really great vacation. Is there anything in particular you would like to know? Are you already familiar with the BVI, or are you looking for input on both...

    44 DB underwater exhaust

    Ah, but you see, I need it all year 'round including while commissioned, not just during during winter layup. There are guards that stay installed during operation.

    44 DB underwater exhaust

    They are quiet and essentially problem free. With the bypass you get nice, smooth low RPM operation. I am doing some PropSpeed in the offseason so decided to coat them as well: This picture is post-cleanup, before paint. Only drawback I have experience so far, and this is only if you are...

    Can the plane take off?

    It can, actually. And also, it can't not move!
