    Fresh water cycling every hour or so...

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I would have already checked the ice maker if I had one. I had that problem on a previous boat. I will definitely look into the other suggestions... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fresh water cycling every hour or so...

    Starting this past weekend my fresh water pump starting cycling about once a hour. It turns on for maybe 1 to 2 seconds. I have checked every facet/washdown and looked for leaks around the pumps themselves. There is no signs of leaks anywhere. I am thinking it may have something to do with...

    Radiator Cap PSI Cummins 6CTA8.3

    I had my mechanic down and he noticed my radiator caps were no good so he replaced them with new 7lb caps. The old ones were 16lb... I understand the higher the pressure the higher the boiling point. I ran the boat for a couple of hours over the weekend (with the new caps) and everything...

    Looking

    Doug Jones is very good as well. You should be happy with him. We have an excellent captain that lives up here and is from the Newport Beach area. He makes the trip both ways several times a year. He and I ran a 460 down to Newport earlier this year. He's $350/day plus expenses (air fare...

    DO you have a picture of the first tub you stepped foot on?

    Todd, I knew the picture from Friday Harbor but I never knew where the one of the trawler was taken. I believe the one with me and the fish was taken down in Puget Sound not to far from the Tacoma area but I could be wrong. Thanks! BTW... I love the pictures, video, and story of the Ebb...

    DO you have a picture of the first tub you stepped foot on?

    The first boat I remember was the 40' trawler pictured below. My dad chartered it for 2 weeks in the summer of 1983. I caught my first salmon on that trip... The first boat my family owned was this 1967 31' Trojan... Picture taken during a trip to the San Juan Islands circa 1984. I'm on the...

    tri color, underwater lights, LED swim platform

    I have installed OceanLED Amphibian A12 Pro's on my last two boats... 2 of them on my Cruisers 3470 and 3 on my 460DA. I have been very happy with them. I chose them because of the ease of install and price.

    Adding 30amp Shorepower to 2003 460DA

    Right now I just have a 50amp125/250 cord. I am moving the boat to the SF City Marina for the winter. I secured a 50' slip on Marina Blvd directly across from my yacht club. The slip actually only has 20amp service with an old military style plug. I have to buy an adapter for $189 to make it...

    Adding 30amp Shorepower to 2003 460DA

    I know there has been many discussions about plugging in a larger Sea Ray with 50amp shore service into 30amp. Since we have the transformer/Booster in the engine room we need a smart-y to make it work. I understand all that and have a Y that I use often. I am looking at moving my boat to a...
