    Mechanical to hydraulic steering conversion and addition of auto pilot

    Do not use Octopus! I tried it and it was a complete bust. Had 3 different people work on it with no results. Sent it back to the company to see if it was defective. They returned it and said it was ok. I am moving on and will just trash it.

    Is the 350 mag engine enough power for the new sundancer 280

    I have a 2011. 280DA. Length. 28'8" Beam. 8'10" Dry weight. 8,2111 single 350 MAG Bravo III The 2015 is the same boat with a few cosmetic changes. I have no problem with power. Getting on plane quickly is difficult if more than 4 people are on board.

    Has Sea Ray gone stupid ???

    The picture of that page is the "sticker price". That is the starting point for negotiations. Nobody pays sticker price for a boat. Like nobody pays sticker price for a car.

    Chinook First Aid Kits

    Hey Blaster, I assume your reply was a joke comment. My boat came with a fire extinguisher mounted in the Engine room. Also one below each sink. Head, Galley and top side bar. I also have a first aid kit onboard. Have used it several times.

    Fresh water pump out.. Can I still use head ?

    There is water in the tank (assuming you put water in it) It is not going anywhere without the pressure of the failed pump. Just sits there.
