Below is a picture of the aftercooler which shows the 3 bolt holes for mounting the intake tube. Not easy to get to when the aftercooler is mounted on the engine
Below shows a picture of the 4 studs that mount the turbo to the “Exhaust” manifold. If I remember correctly, I could only get the torque wrench on 2 of them upon reassembly. The other 2 were difficult and needed to be tightened with a wrench.
There are also 3 other bolts on the “intake” side...
Being in Florida, I always left the salon ac on dehumidifier mode. Much better solution rather than allowing humid outside air enter through venting. You can set the parameters of how often you want it to turn on and for how long it will run. In Florida I found the original 24,000 btu unit...
I never had that issue but have a few thoughts but I’m sure you already thought of these.
1. Since the Starboard fuel line is longer, wondering if fuel pump is weak and that little bit of extra length is causing fuel supply issue.
2. If air is continually getting in the supply fuel line, and no...
We live in Florida and I installed a 3000W inverter as well to power the entire 120V loads. Carter is correct, however, we still found it very useful. I would shut the genny off during the day as we were mostly outside either tooling around on the tender or swimming/ sunbathing, etc. Certainly...
Well now everyone on the water is a little safer! Haha….I always say Change is good…. A sad day indeed (as it was for me) but you did more destinations than most… Glad we did the Bahamas and the keys together………..Good luck in your search…. Cheers
You have the opportunity to do anything you want. Below is what suited our taste.( sorry table is in the way but you can see the design). Any good upholstery shop should be able to stitch in the Sea Ray Logo…..
Start with removing the “outlet” hose on the pump and start the engine and see how much water flow you have. Ear muffs might give you false information since it’s pressured water supply. I would try to put the out drive in a bucket with a hose.
In regards to water entering the boat, If water is...
We’ve done it both ways. Captain, and bare boat. As far as navigating the waters, as previously mentioned it’s pretty much line of site and very easy. But they are 2 different types of vacations IMO. Having a captain and chef was an amazing trip because you don’t need to do a thing except enjoy...
I would try Moreland Hose Aeroquip on Sunrise hwy. in Oakdale. They should be able to make them up for you. You would want to bring the old one so they can match it up………
Not really sure…. For now, we just want to take a break. As you could imagine, this was a huge decision that we went back and forth with for a while. We used her a lot so it will definitely be an adjustment. We just felt we needed a life change. I’m retired and ideally we would like to do some...
Well….. It’s bittersweet………but after 12 years of cruising with Retreat, she now has a new owner. I sold her without a broker and in doing so…..I got to know the new owner over the past couple of weeks. It’s comforting to know she is in good hands and I’m confident he will continue to take great...
