The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
1989 Sundancer 300. Probably same anchor locker configuration as various Sea Rays 1984+.
I've known about this issue since purchase but finally had enough. There is no drain for the hatch channel around the anchor locker hatch, and no drain for the anchor locker itself. The hatch itself does...
I think I know where this is going, but since the forum always seems to have great input I thought I'd post the situation before contacting my mechanic. Any input is greatly appreciated.
My 1989 Sea Ray 300 has twin 260 hp Mercruisers and Alpha1 out drives. Nothing special or aftermarket...
Ok, I sure thought I had this one licked but... as sometimes happens on older boats... confusion now reigns!! 1989 Sea Ray 300 Sundancer (not that this is a Sea Ray specific issue).
Forward bilge pump (under aft cabin) was found in an "on" state (running) when it was in auto mode at the helm...
I've got a voltage gauge on my dash that reads like 18v. Haven't yet checked it with a multimeter (it's hard to get to). Been like this for a while now, no big deal.
Anyhow, depending on what I find with the multimeter, might there be an adjustment on the back that allows me to recalibrate the...
Quick question before I just go and have the canvas man do it for me... the rough quote of $150 has me trying to save some money, however, and it will be off the boat for a week or more.
I need to replace the screen in the aft curtain of my camper canvas. It seems to be held in with only one...
Just want to be sure I'm moving ahead wiht the right troubleshooting sequence.
1989 Sea Ray Sundancer 300 with twin Mercruiser 260 hp Alpha 1s. 750 or so hours, generally excellent condition, and marine mechanic maintained.
Port motor is overheating at idle but comes down to temp with a...
Haven't seen this asked in the past, and I'm wondering if it's foolish or not (like a waste of money, or it won't help, or it's not really possible, or whatever).
Going to be time think about my freshwater 1989 Alpha 1 Mercruiser outdrives at some point soon (they're original and getting sorta...
Haven't seen a thread on this topic, but I'm planning to purchase a used jet boat in the spring to compliment my 1989 Sea Ray 300 Sundancer cruiser. My budget would be $3-4k or so, and I'd be looking for something reasonably nice, clean, and well maintained. No projects for me.
Some folks...

1989 Sea Ray Sundancer with twin 5.7 Merc 260 I\O drives.
Each outdrive has an aftermarket "lower unit lube bottle" installed inside the transom with a hose to the top of the outdrive leg (to allow for greater lower end lube capacity). They're like the units that...
Thinking about replacing \ upgrading the props on my 1989 Sea Ray 30' Sundancer with twin 5.7\260hp Mercruiser IOs.
I think I'm swinging 14x19 (factory standard) aluminums and am in correct RPM range right near 4,500.
Have heard that going to 4-blade 14x17 will help holeshot and economy...
I'm just 41 now, and have realized that I just might be turning into a grumpy old man already... Things that bug me today:
1. All the commentary and negative opinion surrounding the Russian high-jumper (how she's such a bi&tch) and that Jamacian sprinter (how he's such a show-off). Neither...
