    AC Converter help/experiences

    I second the eBay factory rebuilt chargers. I had a friend just install a rebuilt ProMariner 50 amp and he loves it. Great units.

    Sea Ray Homecoming Cruiser/Sport Boat Expo !! Here we go!

    Man you guys are killing me. I am newer here and working to refit an older 300DB now. I have done lots of reading on this forum and it has been extremely helpful!! If we didn't already have a vacation planned in California that week, I would be there in a heartbeat. And no, I can't cancel the...

    300DB Thread

    So, I need to troubleshoot my alarm buzzer circuit and I am looking for some help. I was having some water temp issues on Saturday so I started to dig into the system. For starters, my water temp gauges were not reading properly. The starboard would come up just slightly, but the port wouldn't...

    Thanks guys! Tom, I recently just fought with some water in the fuel issues so I got around to fixing that issue. I got lucky though, it wasn't anything major. If you remove the pickup fitting from the top of the tank, there is a small screen filter that drops right into the top of the pickup...

    Dining in Delaware?

    I agree with techmitch. Chesapeake City is worth the trip but I would try to make a weekend of it if possible. That way you can enjoy the town while you are there.

    Dining in Delaware?

    While I really enjoy Chesapeake City, I would caution against heading there for a late Sunday Lunch. It will be approaching 140 miles round trip from your starting point I believe. I purchased my boat from Gus at Ottens Harbor which is pretty close to you I think. I then brought it back to Havre...

    Alright, passed Chesapeake City, climbed back up on plane, 27 miles to go and we would arrive at Tydings Marina in Havre De Grace, MD. Bumped the throttles to 3400 rpm, doing just over 27 miles an hour. 1 hour to go. I couldn't believe how fast the last hour went!! I think it was mostly because...

    Finally, the nuclear plant on the Delaware Bay! This meant that we were getting very close to the entrance to the C&D Canal. And hear it was! Finally, we were in familiar water! I think both my wife and I let out a big sigh or relief, especially me! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the cruise...

    Alright, so I am sitting in the lower Delaware Bay with only one engine running, the admiral in the berth resting and the BIG surprise is not going at all like I expected. I still had 90 miles to go to get to our new home port. I had only covered about 10 miles so far limping along on one engine...

    CJ - that's great! I was trying to determine how much canvas I want and if I want camper top on the bridge and in the aft cockpit. I just couldn't wrap my mind around how I could still use the bridge ladder. Your pictures helped a ton! Heading to the boat this afternoon to sleep on it for the...

    Alright guys, hoping to get the boat to its home this weekend. Next week I will be starting to get quotes for new canvas. Those of you with 300DB's, would you be able to upload some detailed pics of your canvas? I am really interested in both AKBASSKING's and PackDaddy's as it looks like a nice...
