My remote start/stop module has failed. Any thoughts on where to get one? It's a Sea Ray exclusive that was added to the Westerbeke. Manufacturer has gone out of business. Boat is 1999 56 Sedan Bridge.

My controller to start/stop my Westerbeke Diesel generator has quit working properly. According to Intelletic it is no longer made. Has anyone run into this and determined a solution?

Has anyone figured out how to remove the cabin door? It looks like I may have to replace the fridge and even using that Alabama math I learnt, 24" won't fit in a 21" hole.

If yours is like mine it's located under the motor mount and right next to the stringer. It's a true pain to get to, fuel spillage a big concern for me. Unless you are nimble, relatively small and young, which I am none of those things, then I'd hire it out!

On my 2000 model 420 Sea ray, the Mercruiser 454 Horizon EPI port engine performs great until 45 minutes to 2 hours of running at 3400-3800 rpm, when it suddenly losing RPMs and begins running very rough. If I pull it back to 2000-2500 rpm, it runs smooth, but misses above that. Fuel pressure...

I need to add freon to my Cruisair unit to keep it from freezing up on heat cycle. Mechanic says the water temp is too cold (<60) to let it pull a vacuum. Is that right? Am I going to have to wait until spring for heat (at which time I won't need it)?

Not certain, but is suspect it's simply a spare. Sea Ray used the same panel for several size boats back then. The Sundancer has spreader (radar arch) lights on some models.

They are in the anchor locker, starboard side.

I cleaned out the horns, blew them out and re-installed with better results, but still not as good as I'd like. Has anyone tried upgrading the horns in place? I'd prefer not to add a set to the bridge structure but the location could be most of the problem.

Anyone know where the air horn compressor is located? Mine is a 2000 420AC Gas model. Horn sounds like a upset duck and I think it has a blockage.

We bought our 2000 model on the Tennessee River and have found it to be a great boat for us. Ours is the 3 stateroom model (Master Aft, guest forward and single under dinette. While river handling is much obviously different than open ocean, we've experienced no problems, very stable, easily...

What to look for in a Jet Ski? - SOME FOOL TO BUY IT!!!! Rent one for the very few hours you'll actually use it.

My 2000 420 has it on the starboard side under the helm. There is a circuit breaker panel behind the seat and behind that is a board mounted against the starboard side of the bridge, with the spotlight and other wiring blocks on it.

Somebody at the factory must have had a niece in interior design school that needed a summer job!

On my 42 the lower amp is located in the port lockerbehind a panel where the CD changers are. The upper unit is under the helm panel. Just start crawling around and looking in the out of the way places!

Normally the high water alarm is activated by it's own float switch. This is located near the lowest point bilge pump, but sits higher up in the boat, maybe on a bracket, or just above the bilge sump. It turns on the bilge pumps (usually all of them) and the alarm. If it is turning on...

I got mine from Southco who is the distributor for Mobella. Go to www.southco.com/landingpages/mobella/ If you give them the key number they probably have it in stock. Not cheap, but under $10

You probably weren't scammed, but like you, I wanted actual Westerbeke parts. I found Blue Water Marine, in Foley, Alabama, who can get Westerbeke parts at reasonable costs. Other online, true Westerbeke (accessed through Westerbeke.com) dealers wanted $50 minimums - too much for filters...

It's always better to only have one connection at a time. Battery connections have the additional issue of corrosion. I suggest that going to the extra steps and adding the terminal block will be a big asset in the future. Be sure to protect the terminals from accidental shorting. Some...

There may be a switch on the side of the genny that requires it to have a load in order to run (demand start). Try starting it with a small load (light - not A/C) and see if that works.
