I dont believe the aft cabin TV is standard, dosent appear in my manuals and I certainly dont have one in my boat, got one in the forward cabin, one above the fridge in the galley and one out in the cockpit attached to a bracket on the port side of the targa. I've seen them fitted in pictures of...

My genset primary fuel filter assembly will be ok, but I think I will need to take more bits off my stb main

Thanks so much for the great pics and the idea of going aft of the engine, but unfortunately you pics show my hatches to be quite different and the space at the rear of my engines are also under the lip of the deck..... I will post some pictures after the weekend

No, mine is still a 5.7 Westerbecke

Hi JVM225, I really hope that a main engine removal won't be necessary!

Hi Riptide, I already have the stb exhaust off, and all the associated brackets, and I have measured the gap with a tape, there is enough room, I just don't know I can move the thing up and over the lip of the driptray to get it far enough inboard to hook something up to teh lifting lugs...

Don't you envy those thin bendy guys once you start working in your engine room! Even doing a routine service on this thing is a mission, as a matter of fact even doing a routine inspection is a nightmare! There is a little door in the side of teh soundproof enclosure so you can check the...

Thanks for the advice guys. Yes Tom, I have removed the small lift out floor panel on the starboard side, and the back to back PFC's that support this panel and the mail engine hatch/cockpit floor, but to be honest it doesn't help as much as you would hope..... the genny is still way back under...

Hi All, I am in quite some trouble with the 5.7 Westerbecke generator in my 2001 410 DA. It would appear I have had a small fresh water leak in the line that feeds the wash down hose in the rear compartment which has dripped into the generator sound proof enclosure and filled up the generator...

Very true Frank

I think another reason may be that social media is a lot more active these days. There are currently four Sea Ray Facebook groups :- Sea Ray Owners - 6500+ members, Sea Ray Owners/Lovers - 1400+ members, Sea Ray Owners Club - 950 members and Club Sea Ray - 40+ members (mostly from this forum I...

Thanks for the reply Frank, and the kind offer to knowledge share via PM if needed, much appreciated, it can get a little lonely at times being a SeaRay owner and DIY'er Down Under!

Thanks Bop, I know it was old, but as with all problems SeaRay this is my first port of call! Mine is also made by Nautical Structures, I will contact them and look into the kit. Hopefully they will ship to me in Australia Cheers
