Hi, next week we're heading to the Les Cheneaux area on Lake Huron for a yearly family re-union of sorts in Cedarville. I am wondering how the fishing is this year? Anyone from here in that area?

Hi members.. First, I've read what seems like 100's of posts and still haven't figured out where the water is coming from. I feel like I need a video camera in the bilge.. The diagnostics: No water ingress when the boat sits in the slip..if i dry it out it stays dry). Front bilge is dry...

Hi all, I did several searches but didn't find answers to my questions. If anyone knows of a thread please point me in the right direction. I have on my 300DA, an ST-60 with through hull transducers for speed/depth/temp, and Furuno Navnet with radar/plotter/fishfinder and P79 in-hull...

Temperature readings, how to interpret? I have twin 350 MAGs, 2002 300 DA. The boat runs very strong. Both temperature gauges say they're running between the 170 and 220 mark (halfway between). Based on what others told me I was worried this was too high so I purchased an infrared...

If you're in the northeast, you know how much water we've gotten this spring (in Vt, 10" over typical the last 60 days). Lake Champlain has been over flood stage for I think more than 45 days (don't quote me though) and the rivers have been pumping all kinds of debris into the lake and it's...

Hi all, if this isn't the right place for this post, please let me know. I recently had the need to replace one of the drain flanges on my 300DA and if you know this part, you know that it's difficult, if not impossible, to find the non-standard drain plug flange anywhere but Sea Ray. I...

Here in Vt, we can't put our boats in for some time due to the high lake levels. My marina is under water but our docks are out!

Hi all, not sure if this is the right place or not, but if not I'm sure it'll be moved to the right place.:smt001 I recently purchased a 300DA which had the very well featured Ray 230 radio installed in it. The radio, like many others of this vintage from Raymarine has a greenish cord which is...

I wish i had some way to verify the surveyor I recently used. He was terrible, missed 50 things (big things). And when I looked around I noticed others were also disappointed. There are some good ones too. In any case, might be a valuable forum. Maybe make it even more general (services...

Hi all, I've searched for this answer with no luck. I am trying to add new circuits to my boat, one is a heading sensor. And I'm trying to use one of the accessory circuits that are activated by the soft keypad that works in concert with the EIM under the helm. My question is, where do...

Hi, I am wondering how interchangeable depth transducers are between brands? I have a furuno navnet with airmar shoot through hull transducer that are not working well together. I am wondering if I can try the airmar with my lowrance head unit (removed from my last boat sans transducer)...

Hi all, Recently purchased a 2002 300DA with Furuno Navnet 1722C radar/c-map chartplotter/sounder and raytheon ST60 tri-data electronics. The radar and chartplotter on the Furuno work fine, but the depth sounder is terrible. At any speed over 20mph or depth over 100ft, it loses the bottom...

Hi, just purchased a fully surveyed 300 DA with a few problems not uncovered. One is with the Westerbeke 4.5 kw generator. The westerbeke motor and cooling system run fine. What doesn't (at least initially) is the output AC voltage. When I start it up, the output voltage is around 25V...

Hi, we're currently loving our 260, but finding it maybe just a bit snug. One thing is the sleeping berth. We are both around 6' (one just under, one just over) and find the sleeping situation in the front berth just barely usable. So besides some luxuries we wish we had (air conditioning...

Not sure if this is the right place or not, and if not feel free to move to the right forum. This is a boating etiquette issue, kind of. We were coming back after a great day of boating and heading to pull our boat out for the week and clean the bottom, change the oil, and normal...

Hi, My sea ray seems to have been previously used on a very restricted waterway in that the shower and head sink go into the holding tank and there is an extra line under my galley sink which goes to the same shower sump (to put the water into the holding tank). As you can imagine, this causes...

Hi, I have a bow thruster question. We didn't really use it much last year (our first) because we trailered, but this year we're using a slip and sometimes have a good cross wind. I'm finding that after two, 5 second bursts of the thruster, the performance seriously degrades to where it...

Hi, we've just started our first full season in our 2000 260 DA. One thing that really bothers me is the noise the fresh water system water pump makes when it turns on. It sounds like it's vibrating like crazy and is very loud. Water volume and pressure seems fine at all faucets and head...

Hi all, I couldn't find an answer to my question via a search, but if someone knows of a thread, I'd be happy to look there. Situation: I have a DA 260 with 7.4L and bravo3. We love the boat but wish it is a bit quieter. The big motor puts out a good amount of noise at slow or higher...

I thought I'd publish this in a general area as so many folks seem to have this issue (different size boats) from what I read in the forums. My Sea Ray is a 2000 260, with grey water processing (Grey water goes to holding tank). I was seeing a wet floor in front of my step (very slight)...
