Be sure to have oil samples done on transmissions. Pay particular attention to Port trans. Been known to have problems.

Samples taken after sea trial. Do oil, trans, coolant on both mains, and do the genny as well.thanks Marty. I'm a gas I/O guy up to this point - how many hours on trans fluid or engine oil in diesels is safe to get a good sample reading? The boat is on fresh oil from the fall layup, not sure about the trans
If it needs a good run I can see leaving the samples until the very last step of the buying process and taking them after a hard WOT run when we do it for the CAT survey
perfect, thanks. There are historic samples as well I was talking to the owner yesterday.Samples taken after sea trial. Do oil, trans, coolant on both mains, and do the genny as well.
Really there should be a history on all samples to tell you anything.
410 is one of Sea Ray's finest especially with CAT 3126s!!!!!
That's really good news. You will be able to see any trends in the data.perfect, thanks. There are historic samples as well I was talking to the owner yesterday.

But ice is nicer.... I replaced the U-Line ice block maker with an Isotherm clear ice maker. Oh those G&T's are so much better.[/QUOTE]QUOTE="JVM225, post: 1125568, member: 2991"]Having the cockpit fridge is nice!
Sunset, Sea of Abaco, 2 weeks from no where; icemaker good.But ice is nicer.... I replaced the U-Line ice block maker with an Isotherm clear ice maker. Oh those G&T's are so much better. At about $2 a bag, may break even point is 1000 bags...thats a LOT of G&T's!!!!
If my ice-maker goes out and I can't find another one I might have to get a new boat.....I love my ice-maker.....
I too replaced my cockpit ice maker with a fridge last year and love it. Please post some pictures of your new addition. ThanksAfter much consternation I pulled the trigger today on a hotly debated change amoungst us cruisers - cockpit fridge vs ice maker. This is almost as contentious as Honda generators on swimplatforms.
I'm officially swapping out my Icerette with a fridge. After spending 18 months trying to find a cheapo AC fridge that will fit I ended up spending the money on a proper fridge. I went with an Isotherm Cruise 42. It's AC/DC but I may wait to connect the DC side. We'll see.
A couple weeks back another member here with a 380 shared a link to a Magic Chef 2.6cf fridge that looked very promising, $125. Sadly, our cabinet/walkway cavities just don't give the room needed.
If any of you guys need an Icerette I may repair mine and sell it. The Icemaker portion was replaced in 2017/2018 but the compressor developed a "slipping belt" late last year. Otherwise zero issues.
Good times. Hopefully the install is smooth and easy.
