    Zincs

    Late Summer/early Fall I had the zincs replaced on my SeaRay 270 Sundancer. I had the boat taken out of the water a few days ago and the zincs were more than halfway eroded. I was told that there may be a large zinc that can be attached to the stern that could help with the problem. Anyone...

    Blown Fuse

    I have a 1991 SeaRay 270 Sundancer. Last weekend I plugged a polisher into the galley outlet and aparently blew a fuse (15 amp). My owners manual says the galley outlet is a ground fault - it isn't. The manual also says that the fuses are located behind the electrical control panal. I took...

    Vents / Louvers

    Over the winter the plastic ventalation louvers on the starbord side of my 1991 SeaRay 270 Sundander were broken when the boat rubbed against the pier. Does anyone know where I could find these vents/louvers at a reasonable price. There are two on each side of the boat and both on the starbord...

    Oil Change / Synthetic

    Late last summer I repowered my 270 Sundancer with two new 4.4 liter, EFI engines. It was late in the season and I probably only have +/- 10 hours on the new engines. The boat has not been used all winter. I would like to use a good synthetic oil and am wondering if I should change the oil now...

    Mercruiser Saltwater Flushing

    Prior to winterizing my boat I've been told I should flush the engines with a "saltwater flushing" product. I am not familiar with these products. Can someone recommend one and also the process that should be followed prior to adding the anti-freeze. <br />Thanks.

    Sea Ray Core

    I am having a problem getting a reading on my new Garmin 240 Blue depth finder. I mounted the transducer in the same spot that the old one was mounted (inside the hull). The old tranducer was 200 watts and the new one is 500 watts. In spite of this I can't get a reading. When I hold the...

    Stern Drive Positons

    Prior to Hurricane Ivan I kept my boat on a lift. The lift was destroyed by the hurricane and I am now keeping the boat in a wet slip. I had the boat repowered this summer including two new stern drives. My question is; when the boat is in the slip should I raise the stern drives out of the...

    Garman 240 Blue Transducer

    My old fish / depth finder died so I bought a new Garman 204 Blue unit. The old tranducer (200 watts) was mounted inside the hull and worked fine. The new Garman unit (500 watts) will not give me a reading after mounting in the exact same spot the old one came out of. The area was...

I have used 3 M Vinyl Cleaner with little success. Is there anything out there that works well with...

    Repower / Synthetic Oil

    I am repowering my 270 Sundancer with twin 5.0 liter Mercruisers (new). I live in a warm climate and am wondering if the use of synthetic motor oil would be recommended in these new engines. Does the synthetic oil give better lubrication and hence longer engine life?<br /><br />Thanks

    Edgewater Boats

    I currently have a 1991 270 Sea Ray Sundancer. I am seriously considering moving to a fishing rig and have looked at the 225 Express Edgewater. I have been told (mostly by sales people) that the Edgewater rides like a much larger boat. I boat in the mid - Gulf Coast area and I don't want to...

    Synthetic Oil in Older Engine

    I have a 1991 Sea Ray with twin 4.3 LX Mercruisers. To my knowledge synthetic oil has never been used in the engines. Would it be okay to use synthetic oil in them now. They each have approximately 600 hours on them. What advantage would I get by using synthetic oil?<br /><br />Thanks

    4.3LX Mercruiser Carburetor

    I have twin 4.3LX two barrel carburetors on Mercruisers in a 1991 Sea Ray Sundancer. Three questions; how difficult (and expensive would it be to convert to 4 barrel carburetors? Would the increase in power be worth the expense, and finally, how would this affect fuel economy at norma...
