    Thanks Paul for making this video. I am trying a similar project this weekend.

      It's pretty straightforward, just be careful not to spill or streak any wetness or rust across your flooring from the bottom of the fridge. Ours was in decent shape, but I wanted to do this before we had the new cabin carpet installed.

    Looks like you purchased a boat that was well maintained. PS, I like the galley set up. A larger cook top is not needed. I think I used my cook top to boil water. I like the chrome rails and just a good looking galley. Maybe throw some cleaner in the black tank and then fill it up with water. After taking it out for a ride, next stop the pump-out station, Rinse & Repeat‼️‼️. BEAUTIFUL BOAT, GOOD LUCK ‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸

      @@BoatingWithBoogaboo Thank You we are excited, I watched it a while ago and went to West Marine just to start inquiring about radios and bought the same system you bought. And have been in contact with AiMar about a transducer for depth info on the 943. I have a few new ie questions if you wouldn’t mind sharing your experience with. How many lines should we have? Size, length and numbers, also how many fenders would you suggest. Any opinion will be appreciated. Thank You Jim n Donna

    • @BoatingWithBoogaboo
      @BoatingWithBoogaboo  Год назад

      Not sure if your boat's size, but I would HIGHLY recommend having at least three dick li es per side, plus two extra for when needed to tie up at a dock (or lock). And have the first six (three per side) always in the cleats, ready to go.
      Same with fenders. Have at least three per side + one extra per side. On our current 370 Dancer, we got all new lines, ranging from 15' to 30' in length, plus eight, 8" fenders/lines/fender adjusters.
      There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a boat approaching a dock or lock and the crew is running around like fools trying to swap over lines and fenders at the last moment 😠

    Would like to have seen how you found the fasteners for the bottom step, and did the removal/replacement of that. I've searched the carpet on ours and I'm not sure I've found all of the screws that secure those steps from our galley to salon - it's a 400 DB like your old one.

      @@BoatingWithBoogaboo Wow, thank you Paul! That's very helpful. I always enjoy your updates. My wife jokes that you buy new boats more frequently than I... well nevermind. Our 40 Db is only our 4th SeaRay. We're going into season 6 with this boat, and for us she's a keeper. Learned lots of tricks from your videos, especially the first year we owned it. Thanks again!

    • @BoatingWithBoogaboo
      @BoatingWithBoogaboo  2 года назад

      Happy to help. And although it may seem like we change boats often, we got eleven seasons out of the last two, so that's not too bad.
      Speaking of the big Sedan Bridge, as nice as that was (my dream boat for five years before actually buying it), I'm glad that we went back to an express style Sundancer. And of course, Anchor Girl is very happy too.

    • @billh4477
      @billh4477 2 года назад

      @@BoatingWithBoogaboo Yes, I've watched, read, and understand your reasons for returning to Sundancers. Makes complete sense to me. We also had the Sedan Bridge as a dream boat, and it continues to fill that role for us. We have diesels and a bow thruster, so that makes maneuvering a lot easier than it might be. Regarding longeivity, everything is relative... we had our 34 Sundancer for 18 years. I still miss that boat sometimes, it had a lot of sweat equity and learnings in it! And I'm much more comfortable working on those big blocks than on diesels, even after several seasons with the Sedan Bridge.
      Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the adventures and updates of your newest Dancer.

    Wow, was it ever clean in behind the fridge! When I pulled ours we found shavings, a bunch of those screws with the large thread you showed and even a couple of pieces of water line that obviously were cut off in the installation. Plus, lots of dust. I'm impressed with how clean it was. Am I the only one who noticed the number on the capacitor when you showed it? "38DA" Makes me wonder if it was replaced at some point and perhaps that contributed to the cleanliness. Great how to video like usual!

    • @BoatingWithBoogaboo
      @BoatingWithBoogaboo  2 года назад +1

      Actually, the number on that capacitor is 36DA, not referring to the boat model. I believe I have the original serial number for the factory fridge and will cross reference that with the one on the unit for you to confirm. When I do that, I'll post a close-up pic of the capacitor on Instagram for you. It'll be fun to find that info out!

    My wife wants me to replace the water sprayer on the sink as it’s moldy. I’m wondering if it would be easier to take the cabinetry panels out behind the draws or your idea of taking the fridge out to get at the connections? Thoughts?

    • @BoatingWithBoogaboo

    Is it a pretty straightforward job to replace the ice maker with a Corona fridge?

    • @BoatingWithBoogaboo
      @BoatingWithBoogaboo  2 года назад

      For me on our boat, I'm going to have to cut back some of the fibreglass to enlarge the opening, as the new fridge is slightly wider and taller. That's an easy job, just dusty. For the power connections, the A/C side will simply plug in to the existing outlet that the icemaker used, but I'll have to run a new, dedicated D/C power supply. Again, easy enough, just a bit of work.

    hey guys...question about the sea trial...definately one of if not the most important part of a sale right..,usually a confition of the sale..how are you guys arranging your trial considering you are already working on the boat and moving it to your final destination? How do you do this if something isnt right on the trial and the deal goes south? Whos responsible for what?

    • @BoatingWithBoogaboo
      @BoatingWithBoogaboo  2 года назад +1

      We already own the boat outright. Paid in full, with a portion of the funds set aside in an escrow account in case something comes up during the sea trial, at which time those funds could be used towards any remediation.
      I'm hopeful that there won't be anything that's insurmountable and that we can move forward. No worries.
