    Raymarine RV-100 Transom Mount Transducer

    I have a brand new in box Raymarine RV-100 Realvision Transducer that came with an Axiom display I purchased. This would be ideal for someone with an Axiom RV or Axiom pro display that wants to add the real vision 3D view of the bottom. Given that this is transom mount I would recommend this for...

    Slow to take on Fuel

    We have a 2013 370 Sundancer, and the boat takes FOREVER to fuel. I can't go past the lowest setting on the gas pump without causing fuel to "burp" in the line and shut the pump off. With 2 tanks to fill the process is relatively awful. I checked the vent line screens which were clear. Next I...

    Check your thru hulls

    Just a reminder for us northern guys whose boats are still out of the water, check your thru hulls! Last September we purchased our “new to us” 2013 370. The boat was traded in so we purchased from a well known local dealer. In addition to the dealers inspection I had the boat independently...

    Opening Hatch with Batteries Disconnected

    This is my first winter season with our new to us 2013 370 sundancer, and it's also the first boat we've had with an electric engine hatch. We had the yard prep for heated storage which included disconnecting batteries. I've read prior threads but want to make sure I'm correct on this before I...

    New 370 Sundancer Outboard - Coming Soon

    https://www.searay.com/us/en/models/sundancer-series.html Saw that Sea Ray was teasing a new model on Instagram about a month back, and hadn't heard much since but just noticed the new 370 Sundancer OB is now "coming soon" on the website. Anyone have any information on what to expect? Stretched...

    Placement of USCG Number Placard

    For those of you with documented boats, where did you mount/affix your registration number? Our new (to us) 370 Sundancer is now USCG documented, so I've ordered the USCG number placard with our new # from Boatoutfitters and need to permanently mount it on the boat. The engine room on a...

    Alpha one Gen 2 Magnesium Anode Sets

    Hi guys, recently traded my 2004 280 Sundancer and have 2 sets of magnesium anodes for Alpha 1 Gen 2 drives for sale. These fit perfectly and worked great in lake Michigan. As a reminder, these are for FRESH WATER ONLY. The following link is the same as what you'll receive...

    Dometic cr-1050 Refrigerator Not Cooling

    Just closed on a new to me 2013 370 Sundancer. The cockpit fridge is running and shows a green indicator light near the door switch, however it will not get cold. I'm curious is anyone has troubleshot one of these and had any luck? It appears that it was very rarely if ever used, but I've not...

    Generator question

    Hey guys, I have a Kohler 5e on my 2004 280 sundancer. On the first start after Not running for more a day or so, the gen will crank for some time before firing. It often will take 2 to 3 7-10 second attempts to start (when that’s the case I close the seacock to prevent hydrolock). Once running...

    Sundancer EIM/Touchpad Solution

    Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but it looks like FP Marine is getting close to launching their replacement solution for the touchpad/EIM system that has plagued so many folks over recent years. Looks like a pretty slick solution as well using lighted toggles. They bill it as fairly plug and...

    Upgrading Amplifier for Cockpit Speakers

    I have a 2004 280 DA with a 6 speaker set up (4 in the cockpit, 2 in the cabin). The factory set up has the 4 cockpit speakers powered by a small standalone amp (130 watt I believe) while the cabin speakers are power by the Clarion head unit. I replaced the 4 factory clarion cockpit speakers...

    Bottom paint - Fresh Water (Lake Michigan)

    Looking to hear about fellow SR owners experiences with Bottom Paint in the Great Lakes. Last year was our first full season with our new to us 280 Sundancer and I used West Marine CPP Ablative Bottom paint. It worked very well throughout the season, but as it is a single season ablative, it's...

    Anchor/Chain/Rode setup for Great Lakes

    Hello all, looking to get some opinions and a flavor for the anchor packages that others are using in the great lakes. It's my first full season on our new to us 280 Sundancer in Chicago on Lake Michigan. While most of the time we anchor in a muddy, weedy bottom and have had decent luck setting...

    Hope everyone is having a great boating season thus far. Looking for some thoughts/help in diagnosing my Kohler 5e in a 2004 280 Sundancer.

    Electrical HELP

    Anyone experienced all the LED's on the starboard keypad/EIM on or flashing, but nothing working? I was having an issue with the generator blower switch on the electrical panel and when I went to try it again, my keypad went haywire... Previously to this, the generator ran fine and the keypad...

    Panel Bilge Blower Switch Not Working

    I posted this in the 280 forum too, but as this question isn't just 280 related I figured it would get a broader audience here. Happy to delete a post if that's a problem. Yesterday I went to the boat to start and run the generator for the first time this season. When I went to start the bilge...

    Help with Part Number

    Unfortunately, a week into the season I've found that my SmartCraft transducer is weeping/leaking. Well, actually it appears that the thru hull is the culprit, as both the blank plug and the transducer exhibit the same weeping from the same spot. The only reason I can think of for this is that...

    Spring detailing

    Thought I’d share a couple of shots of the finished product after putting some work in on trying to make my “new to me” 2004 280da look as good as I can. The lighting is awful as the boat is still in winter indoor storage, but I think it still shows off the result fairly well. I’m by no means an...

    Chicago boaters?

    Just got our slip assignment for diversey harbor for the 2018 season, curious if there are some clubsearay folks around the area. Our 280da is stored in Michigan city Indiana for the winter so I’ll be bringing it across once we’re launched. This will be my first trip across the lake so I’ll be...
