    Need help w/ campanionway door tracks-93 400EC

    Guys: I contacted the manufacturer of the door according to the phone number on the sticker found at the bottom of the door. Mine is for a 1995 400EC. They have the replacement hardward and will ship it to you. It was pretty cheap - the shipping was more than the hardware. I will lift the...

    Official 400EC thread

    I brought my 1995 400 EC back to Lake Ontario from Lake St. Clair last year after the purchase. I ran at just a hair under 3400 rpm the entire way with mirror flat water all the way down the Detroit River, across to Sandusky, up the south side of Lake Erie, and across to the Welland Canal at...

    Official 400EC thread

    Joe: There is only one intake for the air conditioner. In through the seacock you just mentioned, then out through both units. If one unit is running then you should see water out of both. If either the salon or front unit turns on, it turns on the pump relay, which then assumes that both...

    Joe: We passed on the lake - I was headed to Wilson, NY and it looked like you were off to Port Credit or Oakville... I turned around behind you but not sure you saw me... How are you? My friends decided to buy a much newer boat (first boat - your t-craft would have been a better bet for...

    Joe - I understand that you have a thundercraft for sale - someone pointed it out in the storage area at Port Dalhousie. I have a friend looking for a boat - do you have some specs or pictures? I may be able to sell this for you - they're looking to buy quickly and have the ca$h in hand... I can...

    unmarked Indian fishing nets

    Ummm... Perhaps you're all missing the obvious... As a Canadian with similar domestic issues might I suggest a good sharp knife or even a pair of bolt cutters? Eventually they'll get tired of replacing nets and move somewhere else... Oh wait... Did I say that out loud? Sorry... I just...

    Official 400EC thread

    Wow! I was just saying something to my wife the other day that I thought one of the (brand new) house batteries was flaky because I had the same sympton. I never bothered with the genny battery either because it seems to work fine! I'll remove the positive lead tomorrow and see if that makes...

    560 Fuel Consumption

    Michael: Just go to www.slavetomyboat.com and they should have the numbers!! LOL!! I've never seen the numbers for a 560 posted anywhere, and I did a lot of research when I bought my 400 EC. My guess is, with the price of oil now higher than beer, you would be better to keep a 560 in it's...

    Kirkland Signature marine batteries, anyone?

    It sounds like you are going to spend a fortune on batteries over the lifetime of the boat if you are going through them no matter what you use! I used to do a lot of solar installations of security camera systems as I owned such a business (www.eagleeyecamera.com) and while I have wound down...

    Gel battery vs Marine Battery vs AGM vs Golf Cart

    Golf cart batteries are generally 6Vdc batteries, and are used in a series-parallel configuration. By using 6V batteries in such a way, you reduce sulfating on the batteries. This will create a longer battery life, and adds power capacity. The problem, as I see it, is that the golf cart...

    Fridge is crapping out

    Hey guys - I hope this might help a few people. I bought a 1995 400 EC last year at this time. The fridge is only a couple of years old. We used it while it was up on the hard and it cooled really well. It ran well on our trip home (300+ miles) but shortly after that it stopped cooling...

    Fuel consumption this past weekend for the old 400DA gasser...

    This time last year I gave my father my Four Winns 267 Quest and moved up to a 1995 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser with twin 7.4 L / 454 Merc's (carb's obviously being a 1995). The boat was purchased from Scott Hossack at Hideaway Yacht Sales in Harrison Township, MI. I highly recommend Scott as...

    A/C Winterization for Cruisair EB010

    This is from the manual online - It almost sounds too simple! Come to think of it though, there is an inlet at the bottom of each unit which should drain everything by gravity: "Winterizing the System: Close the seacock and remove the inlet water hose from the air conditioner. Allow all water...

    Hey Joe: She told me - I had no idea that I was getting messages! Sorry about that! We'll be going through Port on the way to Youngstown on Saturday - Thinking about it anyway. Do you guys have plans?

    Joe - I am on B36 in Jordan. My 40Ec is the talk of the marina these days! What's the name of your boat? I think I have seen you on the outside row (closest to the channel) in Port. My cell is 289-686-0297 if you get down to the marina - or look for "The Big Four Owe" (newly christened from...

    Ford 6.0 vs.7.3 Diesel

    I have a 2004 Excursion Diesel with the 6.0L and had rough running issues when I bought it with about 50k miles on it. I took it to the dealer with a fresh set of glow plugs because I thought they needed replacing - just by the way it started and ran when cold. I was getting about 16.5 mpg...

    Waxing is complete!

    I also am a new fan of the Starbrite - West Marine had a two for one sale so I picked it up, never having used it before. Just bought this boat, and the hull was in great shape, but I was amazed at how well it went on and came off with a basic orbital (not random) buffer that I bought years ago...
