    Shore station wire gauge

    I would like to install a Eaton shore power station at a dock. The unit I am looking at has 4-30 amp outlets. The most draw it should ever see would be if 2 boats with 50 amp service or, 3 30 amp boats tie up. My plan is to run 4 wires. 2 hot, 1 ground and 1 neutral. Would it be ok to use...

    2 beeps every 60 seconds with no codes stored

    This has happend to me twice this season so far. Both cases I was just starting to come up on plane when the alarm started to go off. Both times I used more throttle than usual because I was in some shallow water and need to pop up on plane quickly. When I made it out into deep water I shut...

    Guardian mode unspecified

    It has been about 3 weeks since I started having problems with my starboard engine. It all started after I changed plugs, wires, rotors, IAC mufflers and had the drives rebuilt. Coming back from a trip in high seas I noticed that my engine did not have full power. We hooked up a pressure...

    2003 6.2 Bravo going into guardian mode with no alarms

    So we took a trip last week to catch a ball game in Detroit. The boat ran great all the way there. On the way back we ran into some 10 footers and sleet. I also could not get the starbord engine to rev up when I wanted to get on plane. With that being said we decided to turn back and tie up...

    Clarion stereo replacement

    Is there a din kit for the factory clarion XMD1 stereo? I am replacing my stereo with a standard din Sony but the original opening is much larger. I was thinking about making one out of 1/4 plywood and painting it black but would rather purchase a plastic kit.

    My boat has never been bottom painted. I am planning on having a local shop barrier coat and paint in the next week or two. I am trying to decided what products to use and what other sea ray owners like and use. From reading other threads it sounds like Sea Ray typically uses Hydrocoat...
