    OFFICIAL - 450DA Owner's Thread****

    Hi 450DA owners. I'm selling mine. I've got a unique one, the last one off the line in Palm Coast, FL on 24 Aug 1998 if you believe the note Spenc left us under the built-in coffee pot. Some how it was so late the HIN reflects a 1999 model, which must have something to do with the fiscal...

    Cool thing I found the other day replacing the Black & Decker Space Saver coffee maker. I guess I've got the last one?

    Hey folks, gotta problem w/the bow deck drains that pass thru the chain locker. 2in fittings on deck and hull, slightly offset and connected by a piece of 2 in hose which has failed. Can't find anything to replace that's 2in and flexible enough to make the offset. To add to the mystery SeaRay...

    New Battery Charger - 1998 450DA

    My original ProMariner 60 was only sending 3.1v to my battery banks so I replaced it with the new model. Its not working and Promariner says that it's not seeing the batteries. Evidently older chargers needed a battery isolator between them and the batteries, but this is no longer necessary. I...

    One chance to get it right - Cat/Cummins - Vee Drive/straight

    Tom - Great question, interesting story. Walked up one spring to find a puddle of pink under the bilge drain, boat had been on the hard, covered and visited often, for the winter. Problem - Stbd transmission. Cost about 5K for parts and labor. I was lucky, the main gear that usually tips the...

    One chance to get it right - Cat/Cummins - Vee Drive/straight

    I'm a 3 SR vet currently boatless but in the market. My last was a '88 34' with 454s & Vee drives. I rebuilt one of those and it cost me a bundle. I also couldn't reach the shaft seals and not black out, which bothered me. So now my eye is on a '01 to '03 41' either EC or DA. My broker is...
