    400 Express auto pilot equipment location?

    Mark, I added Raymarine Smart pilot quite some time ago to my 400EC. Type 1 drive. I mounted it to the stringer on the starboard side behind the muffler for the gen. The rudder indicator is mounted to plates I fabricated to the rudder bar and the tiller arm. The Core pack is mounted behind the...

    Bob, Ed at Admiral Marine is very good. If you are replacing the isinglass, ask about Makrolon. Not as heavy as EZ2CY but the clarity is unbelievable.

    400EC shower box question.

    Mark, That "mystery hose" is the outlet from the shower box bilge pump. It runs behind the frig to a thru- hull about mid ship on the port side. There will be a bit of water in it as it does run somewhat uphill. The other hoses are the drains from the condensation trays from both ac units and...

    Repowering a 1999 370EC

    Carey's Diesel in Delaware provided the engines and facility. I did 99% of the install myself. I would highly recommend them for any refit.

    Repowering a 1999 370EC

    The noise level is considerably less than the gas engines at cruise. Some of that is because of the cruise rpm. 2300 vs the 3400 with gas. I have a Kohler 8EODZ gen. If you would like to see my boat and I would take you for a ride let me know. We aren't that far away as my boat is in Baltimore.

    Repowering a 1999 370EC

    I did a similiar conversion a few years back on my 99 400 EC. She had 380 HP Horizons. I can tell you after 500 hours with NO issues it was a great choice. With the gas engines I cruised at 23 knots, burned 32 gph. With the 370HP Cummins 6BTA cruise speed is now 24 knots burning 20 gph. Frank is...

    I'm not sure I follow??? Where the TV was is now a 19" flat panel Vizio and a DVD player under it. The boat is running great! How is your new boat?

    Official 400EC thread

    In response to the post to remove the TV and replace with a door. Perhaps this is a better solution? it was a pretty easy install with NO cutting of the original opening.

    fuel usage on 510 vs 410

    Two things for you here. 1. Cummins 6CTA 430hp are available in the 410 Express. Most folks are probably thinking Sundancer. They are all cat power. 2. I capatin a 2000 510 SunDancer. I can tell you it does burn about 22gph per engine @ 1950 rpm cruising about 25 knots. This one was repowered...
