Oh yeah. That zoomed out picture is now very recognizable to me. Spend many a night in there! Depending on winds and next time you are up there, have a look at Matia Island which is directly across from Echo Bay. You can see Matia in your picture. On that island there are two spots; Rolee...
Next time! Great pictures and looks just like another day up here in the boaters playground. Glad you were able to spot the spectacular wildlife. I don't recognize the cove in the last picture?
We'll be up at Roche this weekend....actually every weekend given that's permanent moorage for us. Headed to Desolation and other point further north for the last two weeks of August.

Disappointed - You should contact Sandydlc on here to name at least one user and is also one of the boating friends of mine I mentioned separately that had some nightmares with their zeus pod reliability. Seems to have sorted things out but do know they were on the verge of calling it quits...
Your experience matters and unfortunately, it isn't a nice one. I think the divorce between Cummins and Mercury added and still adds much to the discussion here. Several of my friends got the "go talk to Mercury" or "go talk to Cummins". One is a Searay owner and the other is Sabre owner like...
Disappointed - Were you meaning to leave a reply? I'm interested in your experience which unfortunately, isn't a good one. I have a few friends with Zeus pods and each have had some unfortunate experiences as well. They each have pods that are 2010-ish vintage.
Anything restricting fuel flow is problematic. Nice work in tracking this one down. Much frustration along the way I’m sure but whoever said boating is always stress and frustration free? Nice going and hope that is your gremlin.
What year is your vessel? I know mercury made some design changes along the way primarily to address sealing issues with earlier version pods among a few other susceptible design issues. I have a 2014 vintage and so far so good. Had one power steering filter leak that I replaced myself with...
I moved my 2005 390DA from NY to Seattle with Cross Country Boat Transport. All items off the hardtop and it was all plug and play. No cutting. Open array raymarine radar as well. They shrink wrapped it from the rubrail up. Shipped it bow forward. Arrived in Seattle with shrink wrap fully...
Bajturner - Do you happen to notice excessive crank times at start-up on that port engine? The engine should fire up in 3 to 5 seconds. Longer crank times could point to a bad injector.
Rob - I too think it could very well be an injector issue. Somewhat easy to run through the balance of...
I’m sure many real world procedures. What I would recommend is that you change your racor filter elements first...per the procedure outlined in those attachments you posted is fine. However, Run the engines a bit before changing the spin-on fuel filter on the engine. The reason is when...
See attached pic. Not the greatest of artwork but in the photo on the right, that is hot turbo air entering the aftercooler to be cooled. That surface of the aftercooler can become saturated with oil/water vapor and collect over time, greatly reducing the ability of the aftercooler to cool the...
