Hi. I replaced my halogen reading lamp bulbs with led units from marinebeam.com. I also replaced all navigation light bulbs, "dome" lights, bilge lights,etc., with led units from same supplier. They have very good quality products. I did not replace the galley bulbs, but they do offer a led unit.

Hi. I just had the same problem 3 weeks ago. Running about 4mph in no wake zone...then whizzing sound..no forward or reverse. Turned out to be my coupler. Stripped all the splines out. Pulled my engine and replaced. Double checked alignment. All good to go.

hey sageslinger, I added a heavy duty toggle switch in the electrical panel to turn off the fridge 110 v feed when the outlets are on.

I have a xantrex xpower 5000w inverter. 3 Interstate srm29 batteries wired parallel with 4/0 welding cable. I mounted in cabinet under sink. I have it hard wired to transfer switch previously used for generator. I have an upgraded alternator,and a Balmar Duo-charge to keep starter battery...

I saw other boats back there, I guess high tide...

I stayed at Great Oak last year. Liked Fairlee Creek a lot, wasn't sure about anchoring there overnight. I'll have to check out Still Pond. Does It get very crowded ?

I'm planning a trip this weekend to the northern Chesapeake. Looking for suggestions for a good place to spend the night "on the hook". I spent some time in the Bohemia a couple weeks ago, but just a day trip. I really liked it, but I wasn't sure about spending the night there. I'm coming south...

I have another pic but it exceeds the upload quota.....:smt089

I wanted to thank everyone for their replies. I have the sunpad option, and there is no way I could stow the bench against the back wall. Possibly just the cushion. I have attached pictures of a '95 270da I saw for sale, that prompted my post.

Hi all !! First post for me. I have a question about my aft bench seat and cushion. How are they supposed to be stored ? I saw a picture of one where it appears the cushion is flat against the aft wall area, but where is the fiberglass bench supposed to go ? I just purchased this boat in august...
