an issue has come about which will eventually require the rebuild of my Simrad auto pilot drive motor and pump. The issue is the motor is starting to draw to much power and periodically shuts down. Simrad pumps are hard to find parts for. Several repair shops just flat out tell you they don’t do...

what are the best constant use blowers to replace the OEM units? The SeaRay blowers on my boat are 9", 24 volt.

can anyone tell me what this antenna goes to? I'm thinking it's original or at least equipment added by a SeaRay vendor. It's mounted on the port side of the radar arch of 2001 510DA.

anyone out there versed on how the Catapiler electronic monitoring system interacts with the dash board analog gauges? I replaced the center tank fuel guage and sending unit along with the rudder angle displacment system; now my two tachometers are dead. Still getting complete engine data off...

my gen will not fire up, I mean nothing; no power what so ever. Traced it to the main time delay breaker blowing. I've reset the switches, looked to see if anything is out of sorts; nothing. The fuse pops as soon as power is applied. She was working fine a few weeks ago; now nothing. Has anyone...

Jaboli passed away a year ago. What a character. They say Ridgeback aren't crazy about the water, guess they never meet Jaboli. He loved the boat. When I was at the helm he'ld be right there beside me.

Boats and docks are all kinds of messed up. Just to numerous to post. My boat came through ok. Just a bit of messed up canvas. Attached is what a 32 ft cruiser ended up. First it parked it self with the current going one way, then slid on out to the bay when the current went the other way. And I...

bigger boats run their generator a lot more than the smaller cruisers; least I do. on my last outing my gen shut down; of course at the most inappropriate moment. Water supply issue; just swap out the impeller and I'll be on my way looking like the nautical hero I some times picture my self...

My boat came with Phifertex sun screens. I had them on for awhile, made a noticeable difference in the Florida heat. Was thinking about putting them back on for the season but not sure how that would effect the wind shield. I know I would have to take them off to clean the windshields. I'm more...

resently I have been having old foam insulation on the floor of my boat. It's little chunks of foam that is on inside the over head duct work. Not like it's a black snow storm when the fans are on but go away for a day or two and it's a mess. Not sure how to stop this little problem. Was...

have a rudder trim system that will not work. The guage is functional, it's the sending unit that's has failed. The system Saeray used originally is from Europe. Mine is a 2001 system and the part went out of production over 5 years back. Question is can I replace it with any 12 volt generic...

Just finished hanging my new isinglass curtains/panels. Man what a difference. The folks at Boatswain's Locker are fantastic. I tried a few local guys but had very bad luck. Either the pricing was way out of line and/or the workmanship was terrible. The products I got from Boatswain's...

Planning a trip to the Bahamas. Thinking about needing a water system. Any ideas on what kind of systems or if I needed water system at all.

having an issue with the rudder displacement/position indicator system on my 2001 510 Sundancer. I replaced the indicator on the rudder control arms. The new unit works fine as indicated by the read out on my auto pilot control head. Means the data is getting to the auto pilot. All good but I...

I called my AC guy the other day for a service and flush out. Well the other day is a bit kind, it's been three weeks plus. So figured I'ld do it myself. Rather than disconnect flex hoses at the separator ; I'm going to install a manifold that allows me to connect to the AC water suppley hose to...

I am having Issues with the 24 volt interior lights on my radar arch. They have an on and off switch as well as a dimmer switch. The dimmer switch is a momentary unit that feeds a module. The module is the issue. SeaRay techs tell me "it's down there some place" just not sure where. I'm assuming...

The pocket door between the starboard guest head and state room seems to be off the rollers, track is messed up, something. The parts manual as well as the SeaRay instillation drawing makes me think the boat was built around it. I can't find a panel through which to access the track and rollers...

Looking to buy a 2000 46 Sundancer. Love the boat but Im having an issue with the interior sheeting; the material used in the fabrication of the enterior walls and cabinetry. There is delamination of the material around the out side radius where the material is curved around the walls. Most...

Has any one repacked their rudder stuffing boxes. Seems like a simple enough task; just looking for lessons learned. Thanks Ron
