Im considering the addition of a forward sun pad to our 1989 380 Aft Cabin. The original placement of hand rails are center line on the front deck so they can't be used for hand hold when going to the front of the boat. They are excellent tripping hazards when crossing the bow in a hurry and...

This summer I used Vinyl Spray paint from an Auto store to change the color of my cabin from hideous Baby Blue to White. It looks great. My next project is to painting the upstairs helm to a lighter tan or White. Good luck the job is worth it Antonio

I'm an old 1989 380 AC and have been salivating over the newer 420 AC, Specially the 2001 models with the Captains Station to the port side of the bridge. I have been spooked a bit for the crosstalk about the hull construction. Is there any validity to any of this?

I had similar problem with the Voltage regulator. A.S.A.P LLC had the part. In addition, check all the connectors at the Voltage regulator. A bad connection can also give you the similar symptoms. good luck

The pump that I purchased was rated to 2-4.5 psi. I did replaced it with a AC Delco pump USCG certified form A.S.A.P. Problem solved. I'm still trying to figure out what the correct PSI. pump that is required? Were do I find this Info?

Im not sure which neuron misfired but I'm considering purchasing a 480 AFT cabin. Im unable to find any first hand opinion and few info is out there that is not sales literature. My wife is totally awestruck by the boat. We are going for a ride this morning. (I knew that nothing good was going...

To all of you who in the past helped me with my Gen I thank you. I know more about that piece of equipment than anything else on the vessel. I now have an issue with the carburetor. After replacing a ruptured fuel pump with after market item, the mixture is far too rich. I the idle mixture screw...

I also routinely change the oil on the GOV. I use a small tube and a large turkey baster syringe. Losen both Screws out with the old in with the new. I do nee some advice with the carb. I recently changed a leaking fuel pump with a store brand auto parts model and Im having the mixture a bit...

Thanks for the info on the Cat. Sounds like the oil issue is settled. Im a bit sceptical about the French engines. (not surprised French = weak core) We found a 2001 420 AC with 8.3 6CTA Cummins in Stuart, FL. She looks grrreat! At least on paper and pictures. 632 Hours and Kept under cover...

Thanks for all the Info I need to justify going from a paid off Small Boat to a Larger one John Some of the issues that my 1989 380 Aft cabin has that bother me is a slight bow down at rest but a 5 to 10 degrees bow high at cruise. Even when stepping on the Trim tabs fully the attitude seems a...

Dear 420 Aft cabin owners My wife and I are discussing upgrading to the lager 420 AC. We like many improvements over the our 1989 380AC. Such as the helm seating in the 2001 model the Aft Bar and open floor plan. We are curious about it’s handling at slow speeds as well as it’s sea handling. Any...

Hi PlayDate I have been busy trying to pay my end of year Taxes so the Community organizers in chief can distribute. Well I spent last night playing with the unit. The problems manifiest even under minor load (light) I goes high side whith the Water Heater. Amp fluctuates Voltage Peg's...

The circuit breaker that trips is the one on the Gen (I'm assuming). The AC's do work on shore power (althoug they do get warm when all three are on). Last weekend the fault occured with just the converter on and some AC lights. Again cycled the unit ON are OFF waited 5 minutes and returned...
