We are told Sea Ray is no longer producing boats over 35 feet. Is this true? Two different people have said they heard this.....

Any suggestion on what model heater?

I am faced with the same issues and have thought to solve it the same way. Any special heads up thoughts would be appreciated.

Small plastic covers over the windlass buttons have deteriorated. Where do I find replacements?

We have a fresh water level switch on our breaker panel in our 400 DA and every level from empty to full remained lit all the time. Replaced sensor which has all color coded wires and every level still lights up when you press the switch. Suggestions?

Brilliant! We installed a new check valve and that didn't make any difference. Took your suggestion and removed it completely and bingo-all is well with the world once again. Thanks so much for the suggestion. This site is the first place I go when my husband finds a problem that he can't...

What we don't understand is that both the old and the new pump are doing the same thing, so we tend to believe it's not the pump and may have something to do with the check valve or an obstruction between that and the through hull .

If my husband holds down top of pump, it operates properly. If he releases pressure, it stops. Water dribbles out of pump between red and white section on both old and new pump.

Our shower sump continued to run after all water had been pumped over side. Bought new pump-it did the same thing. Water seems to spurt out of seams of old pump and the new one. Check valve is not restricting flow and appears to be keeping water from flowing back in. Any ideas on where we go...

Spoke to someone at Sea Ray and he mentioned knowing of ONE other 1997 400DA with a cracked tank. Appears from posts there are LOTS of them. Will look for reputable plastic welder in RI to make this repair. Manufacturer of tank wants $1100 to make a new one and then there will be shipping...

Water on carpet in aft cabin is from our faulty cracked L shaped tank that a previous owner attempted to repair with a load of epoxy. So very annoyed that this was not disclosed and obviously surveyor didn't tear apart the aft cabin to see it. Disappointed that these faulty tanks aren't the...

air conditioner hasn't been on, showers haven't been used, and only a small amount of water went into galley sink and yet after taking a one hour ride, we opened the hatch and it's full of water again. We did have heavy rain the night before but how would that find its way into hatches beneath...

Thanks for the suggestion. Will check that out today. Hope that is it.

Ours is all the way in the stern,
