Sounds like it could be the starter solenoid. Cheap money at NAPA.

Question?

I would guess with the trailer, fuel, gear and water you are pushing near 10,000 lbs. That's 3300 lb axels which is doable. I would be hesitant on highway driving for a double axel trailer with a 260. In my view, well worth the extra money for a triple.

Depressing? Try looking for a 20 year old 390-420 with diesels. Now those prices are truly depressing!!

25 Ships last Sunday at anchor in LA. Thats alot of construction screws and plywood!

I thought this was a boating website concerning Sea Rays??

Awesome company. etrailer.com

Those steps look awesome. Any idea if the underside is held together with pocket screws and plugs? Will you be adding oil to them? Dennis

Awesome. Thank you. These are on BT also. I do like the one in Baltimore. It's probably put away for the Winter though. Thanks again. Dennis

Thanks for your reply. I'm set on diesels. Longevity and cost to run are what I'm looking for. And, when I sell it down the road, resale value will be higher. My 7.3 Ford Diesel is at 310,000 miles and prrnn like a Kitten.

Hello Dave, My Wife and I are shopping for a Sea Ray 380 with diesels to spot in Florida as we live in NH. I saw your post from May of last year. During your search, did you come across many diesel 380's or was your search quickly turned to the 410? It's just the two of us so we don't need all...

Greetings, My Wife and I are ready to buy a 340 with 8.1's and seek advice. What issues did you learn about after buying your 340 w/8.1's? We live in NH and plan on spotting the boat in Florida. Is 10-12 k for fuel burn on a 3 week trip down the ICW from Boston a conservative number? Is...
