    Moving to 'The Dark Side"

    Well, I went and closed on a 2010 Sea Ray Sundancer 580. My 2007 40PC will be up for sale this spring (gotta get her ready) It's been great being a Formula owner. I'll pop in here to lurk from time to time. Thanks for all the great tips. Jeff

    Not sure what the difference is between the 07 34PC and 07 40PC but I faced the same issue and solved it with cutting. I managed to fit in 3 Garmin 8612s

    Off season upgrades, what say you.

    It's probably the best toy I got, was just down there to see what it looks like at night. Too many lights around the marina but here are 2 pics for comparison: (The robust software on the forum insists on rotating the images... grrrr....)

    Westerbeke 7.6BTD Diesel genset startup takes a long time

    Not sure if this is a problem or normal. If I haven't used it for a while (say 1 week) it will take at least a minute of cranking before it starts. I hold down the pre-heat switch for around 20 secs and then the start button. I will release the start button after about 15 secs, and then press...

    Is there supposed to be water in here?

    Front hatch in the main salon on 2007 40PC. Has water at the bottom. No raised storage platform or anything over it. Is that normal? If so has anyone built something so they can use it for storage? If not, is there a special pump for it? Thanks, Jeff

    Lowering swim platform on 40PC

    So I opened the reservoir cap (arrow in pic below) and stuck a screwdriver into it. The screwdriver only goes in about a quarter inch and hits a piece of metal. Is there another location/dipstick of some sort?
