460 DA Owners Thread

Thought I would add a separate post regarding lighting as well. I replaced all of the small eyeball type interior lights with lumitec Mirage and they are awesome. I couldn’t find a direct replacement for the salon lights due to their size so I just replaced the bulbs. Well today I got luck and found out they are called Jamaica and ordered 2 in LED to test out as well as switch to stainless from gold.

Lastly, I replaced my engine room lights this past weekend and I’m pretty upset... upset I didn’t do this they say I purchased the boat! Originally I had just upgraded the bulbs but as you can see the new lumitec lights are amazing. Here are some pics of my work.

The pic of the generator has the original fixture with the led bulb on the left and the new lumitec fixture on the right.


Very nice!
Engine room is next on my list . These are the lights I am using I am putting six of them in the engine room. Very tired of using a " head lamp. I will send pics when I am done.

TritonLED SeaStrip 20" .... they are 25.00 per strip on Amazon.
 
Jim. I’m betting the fluttering is actually caused by the led not having a resistance load on the dimmer switch. I replaced my dimmer switch with a blue sea dimmer module and mine work perfectly now.

Regarding a direct answer to the diagram, no I don’t have that but I have replaced all of my electronics and mine is fairly straight forward. 2 pieces of wire loom run from the center plexiglass cover to the sides of the arch. The rear lighting for the stern and nav light goes down the center then on my starboard side.

Would love to see a pic of your mod.


Thank you .
I have bought two of them and will see if it works .
I will let you know how is goes and will send pics when all are working.
 
Those may work nicely as they will disperse light all over the engine room. The only potential issue I see is the lumens. Those are 300 lumens and the ones I put in are 1000 lumens. Let me know how it goes as the engine room needs more lighting for sure.
 
All, does anyone know the part number for the air filter on the 6 CTA off hand. I know you can clean them but looking to replace and have a second set. Thanks

Regarding the salon lights...you state that you found a replacement called Jamaica....what brand? I can't find it at the Lumitec site.
Thanks

As far as my knowledge goes it is on it's own breaker and hard wired direct to the AC panel. When I was behind it last year and had the washer/dryer out, I did not see any plugs, only the romex wire to the panel. I don't believe there is any sort of reset on the heater itself. On my last 370, my heater stopped working mid summer and it turned out to to be the heat sensing element on the front. An easy part to replace and cheap.

If you have to replace it I would love to know how you do it!! They boxed that thing in like nothing i have ever seen and it appears to me that you will be cutting the wood cabinet that sits in front of it.

I have had to replace mine. If you look where the access panel is you'll notice that the large square piece can be removed as well as well with 4 screws in the corners. You will also want to take off the doors as they will be in your way. After that, it is very tight but you can access the unit. There are some screws holding it down and basic plumbing. 2 wires and nothing is attached to the back of the unit from a plumbing or wiring stance ( may have a some screws on the side but can remember) I would lay your aft seat down and cover it with a blanket so you don't tear your seat. It is a tight fit but can be done. I was worried I was going to have to pull fridge and/or washer but you don't. Once out, the new one goes in pretty easy. I would replace you plumbing as well with the new unit. - Hope this helps
 
CD177 is the replacement airsep filter.

DRSA is the brand of the lights in the salon. Jamaica is the model. My apologies. The new ones come in led with a sand lens that matches the factory lens or a milk lens that dispersed the led better. My issue is the color temps. They are available in 2700k, 3000k, or 6500k. The 3000k would match the factory stuff but I have changed everything to 5000k.

Thanks for the response...I wish it was that easy. :) My sundancer does not have the 4 additional screws in the corners, only the small access plate. Last year I had the washer/dryer completely out and could get behind the HW heater...it was then when I had everything torn apart that I realized replacing this hot water heater would be a real issue some day. I will have to cut the wood panel in front of it to get it out because there are NO screws in the entire face. It will take some work to do, and make a saw dust mess but it will come out, just wish it was as easy as yours.
Thanks for the follow up!!!

I found them a little while after I responded to you, but thanks all the same! Where did you order them from if I may ask...I want to get them!!!
 
Call them direct. I spoke with a guy named Bobby. FYI they are around 150 each so get a boat dollar ready.
 
Hey guys, I know a couple of you have replaced your galley refrigerator. I wanted to see if you had any specific model numbers and if the new refrigerator would fit through the cabinet door without having to take it of. Thanks in advance.
 
Even if you found a fridge that could go thru the doors, you couldn't get the old one out. I'll double check the model I installed earlier this year. The cabin door comes off in 15 minutes. The bigger pain are the cabinet doors which must be removed, cut down and reinstalled with the freezer door on the bottom. I've noticed quieter operations and much lower electric draw in 12 bolt mode. Total cost about 2 boat dollars.
 
Thanks Doug, I don’t have the original fridge. The previous owner installed a Vissani brand which was considerably smaller and would fit through the door. I wanted to see what other brands had been installed for comparison.

Vitrifrigo DP2600 series...but the door still has to come off
 
Nova Kool R-9000. Freezer on the bottom so I switched the cabinet doors with some modification. It's a fairly quiet unit; deeper internally than the original fridge because the coils and fan are on the bottom, not the back.
The cabin door still needs to come off.
 
I used the Nova Kool too. The admiral is much happier with the larger size and fridge on top. It fit perfectly but as mentioned, had to modify the cabinet doors.
 
Nova Kool for us as well!! Love the new configuration with the fridge on top. We don't have the exterior cabinet doors installed so it wasn't an issue. Sliding door removal is a must a stated by others.
 
What is the drain hose that goes into the very back bilge area under gen? I do not have salon heat/air. Cant figure what the drain hose goes to..

Also, is there any reason water would be under the walkway between the two engines? Does anyone know if that is solid under the diamond plate or if it could hold any water? I am just curious and it doesn't look east to figure get to.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
 
I hope you have salon heat/air! I’m sure you mean cockpit. Anyway I just traced them, I had 2, mine came from the engine room vents on the hull. I just plumbed mine into a shower sump box with my helm ac and the bilge is DRY!

Here is a pic of the lighting I just did. Look at the comparison of the generator. The port is new and the stbd is the old fixture with just led bulb. I have 2 more in order for under the generator and fwd bilge. No more flashlights!

HA! You are correct sir! Cockpit! Seems like a long run and I am sure it was difficult if sump is in the same place as mine. Mine is up in the Salon. I have a very small amount of water but it bugs me.
