Lost my port engine engine today; coming in and my I/O is just spinning. Engine itself is running and I believe my shift cable is connected. I’m assuming coupler needs replacement, which I think is a boat haul and engine pull. Any thoughts on this repair? I’ve owned the boat since 2007; first...

Does ANYONE mfg boats in last five years that are 33-40 feet in length that ARE NOT pods or I/o’s? I’m looking and trying to avoid canvas and to keep the drives simple. I boat in salt so want to avoid I/O and don’t really want to deal with pods. It seems impossible. Straight v drives anyone...

It’s time to replace my track. I found some threads and know the parts. Can someone advise the method/order of putting it back together once the door is out? It seems the track and trucks need to be already on the door before attaching to the boat? Or not? mid not how difficult is it to attach...

I’ve never anchored overnight on the hook. Always at marinas. No generator. What are the best practices in terms of the batteries? Should i shut down refrigerator? Start the boat before bed to charge? Am I worried about nothing? thanks for the input. I want a generator...next boat. Please no...

my 320 in the last couple of months occasionally requires a shifter jiggle to turn over. Both engines, no pattern. Is there something I should change out or take a look at? About 520 hours.

I was searching the threads but I would like some help here. My 320 Atwood 6 gallon (original 2004) seems to be leaking from the bottom, so I'm expecting that it is finished, so will want to replace it. I think I can do it myself but wanted some opinions. If I replace with the Kuuma it looks...

My window cog on my 2004 dancer broke off. It’s welded on the 2004 320 and that’s where it failed. Of course it’s the bottom one and rain can get in. Short of a new window and frame, will anything else work? I’ve tried various things such as jb weld, metal glues etc. all haven’t held the...

I thought I would pick the brains of the expertise on this board. My slip neighbor has a 2004 Chris Craft 33 with a westerbeke generator. The AC stopped working on shore power but works with generator. Just came out of nowhere. He has two 30 amp cords one dedicated to power, other to AC...

My marina does 90% of the work for me. Boat was running great last fall. I had my drives pulled this off-season on my 2004 320, maintained, reinstalled and the marina took it out for its spring “sea trial” this week. One of the engines got stuck in forward gear and they (national marina chain)...

I thought it would be a bit helpful to share my installation of a new VHF radio (on my 2004 320) with a few of the less technically inclined as I am one of them. Usually I don’t have the time or patience, or I’m afraid of making a problem worse, and I just end up writing the check. All simple...

Last night as I was falling asleep, my doorbell rang. State police lady was at my door. Imagine the thoughts that went through my mind with two kids away at college.. Anyway, she asked if I was the owner of a 32 foot Searay. Ummm, yes. Miami Dade police had called about my boat, and wanted...

Today, under my starboard engine was a puddle of gear lube. My reservoir was empty. The reservoir itself is dry and doesn't appear to be leaking the line going to the back of the engine is dry. The plastic connector at the back of the engine is dry. I refilled the reservoir , ran the engines...

My KEC DVD was dead (no power) this weekend. I "toyed" with the connections; but I think its just dead at this point. I know there are some threads on the topic but in this electronic age a bit outdated. Can anyone tell me if they replaced the DVD, what they used, and how difficult it was? I...

Thought this was interesting- my "yacht" is a little less money though. http://mashable.com/2013/07/30/yacht-spoof/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link

I started my port motor for the first time this season. It started difficult, only when giving it some throttle, and rpm's fluctuated between about 450-550, whereas they are normally 600. When I throttle, its "chugs" a bit and it just doesn't sound right. Water, Oil, etc. all seem correct. Temp...

I know there are posts on this topic but I am hoping someone can give me an idea here.. my forward sump was/is not working correctly. I thought the problem was the float switch, as I would pull out the Rule800 with the float switch activated, put it back in and it would turn on. I would jiggle...

Has anyone experienced a leak in the round skylights? My 2004 has some corrosion around the outside of it, and I noticed some leaking this weekend. I pulled the inside housing down and dried it up and don't believe it has leaked very long. Do I need to "dig out" the current material around the...

Went to the boat today and noted that my charger has zero power.....power green light doesn't even turn on. Fuse appears fine, tried another, switches are on, etc. Any ideas or do they eventually just die? Batteries are still ok.

sorry I have not been able to find the answer to this in my searches. For the LED lights that are used near the step in the cabin (covered by the "antique white" plastic...), are they standard led lights that can be easily found on line? I found a part number-- any search brings up searay.com...
