Hmmmm….I’m tempted to sell (am I really?)…lol…. I have a 95-370. Last bit of mechanical work is the starboard transmission has a knock in forward everything else is either brand new or rebuilt.

Give it some thought, we are heading north week after next to look at a few. Should be in your are last day of September. You can PM me if you need. ThanksJust giving you an idea of what it looks like… I have been thinking about it, but I’m not sure.
Hi all,
Before I start pulling things apart, thought I'd get some opinions.
Westerbeke generator - I've had it out of the boat before and know it well. I've recently (months ago) rebuilt the carby too and it has been running great.
I beleive I may have one failed or failing capacitor since it now likes to have some load before it shows it's creating power on the gauge and doesn't like powering the A/C so much anymore!
It is running for 20-30min and then shuts down. I can restart straight away, but it will only run for 5 or so minutes before shutting down (which is why it makes me think it might not be the overtemp sensor)
Waterflow looks fine (I've rebuilt the water pump before too), and I have had it shut down once because of overheating before I rebuilt the pump and it doesn't remind me of that situation, although I won't rule it.
Coolant level is fine, Oil level also good.
Any thoughts before I start getting into it?
Thanks
Dave
Westerbeke fuel pumps are notorious for overheating and shutting down, then restart right away. Then shut down again. You can take the old one to NAPA or similar, they can match it up.Hi all,

It was good, but I'll go re-checkHave you checked the oil level in the governor?
Thanks, I've been suspicious of it but no real reason until now to suspect a fuel issue.Westerbeke fuel pumps are notorious for overheating and shutting down, then restart right away. Then shut down again. You can take the old one to NAPA or similar, they can match it up.
I've learned that lesson, 4 spare Cap's on the boat ready to go!+1 on the fuel shutoff solenoid and/or pump. I'm on my 3rd over 22 years. The Cap will also definitely cause the gen to startup at low voltage, and when you put a load on it, suddenly it goes to full voltage. Just match the uF and voltage specs with the old one. You'll find a can that fits. My Amazon $15.00 cap is still going strong after 6 years. Currently unavailable. I also had to change the uF value up a bit to compensate for changing values of the windings, etc.
Westerbeke red paint is very expensive compared to unpainted parts.

Asking this question for a friend of mine who just purchased a '98 370DA and wants to find the Owners Manual. Neither of us could find one listed on the Sea Ray site. Actually only really need a copy of the dimensions page (the one which shows the water lines, arch, antennas, etc) which is usually within the first few pages.
If anybody could send me a copy of that page that would be great and much appreciated!
I believe this was what was pulled before regarding a 1998.
Look back on page 200 of this thread.
Thanks!

Just buying a 1991 350 Sundancer and its got those deteriorating black foam style shifter knobs. Does anyone have a replacement idea. I keep looking online but not much luck yet. Thanks!
I’m in need of some advice. I’m trying to gain access under the carpeted board under the rear bed. There are eight screws that hold it down. Four of which are blocked by vertical board on the back.
I removed 3 screws that hold the trim around the mirror, the 5 screws that look like they hold the mirror up, as well as the 4 screws under the thick cushion. But I can’t seem to get it to budge.
Any thoughts?
