    110v fridges! Gen all day?

    Curious to what everyone with 110v fridges do when on the hook? My last boat had a 110v/12v fridge, new boat has two 11ov fridges. I was thinking id install a dedicated bank of golf cart batteries and inverter to keep them on overnight or when we are off the boat when on a mooring. Bummer to...

    Sedan Bridge 550

    Thanks a million!!! That's what I had in mind, just wanted to be sure since you have the same boat. The wife is a little worried about her roll on such a big boat so anything to calm her is great. I feel fine running the boat and know I can do so no problem. I got the 2 way head sets so we can...

    SeaRay question

    Sedan Bridge 550

    Gofirstclass, how do you use that off the dock spring in yours? I've done it but in much smaller boats. My inside helm gauges are in great shape so I'll.wait on those till next year. What gauges did you use on your bridge? Did they just wire up the same for the most part? I've done hot rods so...

    Hi JoAna, I (we) are in SoCal. Long Beach! We dock in Shoreline marina. Currently have a 370 Sedan Bride and in the middle of buying a 550 Sedan Bridge this week. We frequent Catalina, Newport and several other costal marinas. Now that we'll have the 550 we plan on going to SD for weeks at a time.

    Sedan Bridge 550

    Cool! yeah we are excited to get her! She seems very solid. We currently have a 370 sedan bridge.. This kinda randomly came up and was way to good of a deal to pass up. Wish it had a bow thruster being this big but we can always add that next year.

    Sedan Bridge 550

    Awesome! Thanks for the reply! She sure does have a lot of room and what seems like endless storage. Id love to add a bow thruster at some point... im sure getting off a side tie can be a challenge at times without it? No more asking the wife for a little dock push lol. We seem to cruise at...

    Hey all, I am pulling the trigger on a 1992 Sedan Bridge 550 permitting the hull out goes well. Engines checked out good. Powered by twin Detroit 6v92's. I was curious to who has on and what everyone thinks/knows about them. good, bad, ugly. Anything in particular on this one to look for? The...

    Engine failure... Trans caused?

    I think it is Thunderbolt IV? No knock sensors. I have the in distributor sensor with 3 wires from it and module mounted to the riser. I think... the engine has 400ish hours. They were replaced about 7 years ago from a previous owner. I thought of water injestion too. We never pulled the intake...

    Engine failure... Trans caused?

    Now that im thinking about it I don't know if the purple/white ignition wire was ever grounded when the timing was set. I was working on the other engine when the starboard was being timed. If the timing was set NOT in base mode could that cause a misfire so bad that it could spin a bearing?

    Engine failure... Trans caused?

    Yeah its a weird one... Ive been a mechanic my entire life so I know what causes bearing failure but its just odd how it happened. Always regular oil changes ect... Was running good then got the shakes. When that happened oil pressure seemed fine. Yesterdays run was an even better run. Just did...

    Engine failure... Trans caused?

    Hey Guy's! So I have a 1992 370DB with twin 7.4 (454) mercruisers and Hurth 63 trans. A few weeks ago on a short run at about 2500 RPM we got a sudden bad shake in the boat from the Starboard side. At first my thought was "lost a trans". Throttle back and took out of gear. Checked trans oil...
