A overloaded, homemade boat without a licensed captain.....what could go wrong? http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/10/13/3687875/large-boat-capsized-off-miami.html

I acquired a very nice cockpit table from someone who said that it came out of a 2000 260DA. Unfortunately, it uses a very non-standard post and I am having trouble locating a pedestal base for it. The post is 1.5" or 38mm and is tapered. The pedestal base on my boat is the standard 2.3" and...

I had to share this story from this morning's local paper. PALM BAY — A man was burned over 60 percent of his body Sunday night when his fume-filled garage exploded so violently his neighbors said it sounded like “a train wreck” or “a car accident.” The explosion occurred just after 7:15 p.m...

The following statement has appeared on the AFThunderbirds.com website: The implementation of across-the-board cuts in federal spending has caused the curtailment of the Thunderbirds 2013 show schedule. Effective April 1, all of the team’s performances have been cancelled. The team still plans...

I had my mechanic swap out my spark plugs when he did my annual last week and they made such a difference I'm convinced that I should do that annually. The plugs that came out looked fine and had been replaced two years ago. I took the boat out this morning and the fresh plugs raised the idle...

Deleted - wrong forum.

The largest boat show in North America (I think) is now one month away. Is anyone planning to attend and are you interested in connecting as a group? I went last year and had a blast but I have to admit that I didn't commit until I knew that the weather was going to be nice. The weather in...

The marine carpet set in this picture came with my boat which is a 1995 250DA. This carpet set does not fit my boat - not even close. Written on the back of them is "1996 Sea Ray 250 Sundancer" which I do not believe is accurate. They appear to belong to a larger boat - 270 or 290 maybe...

This one stumps me. The people purchase a 2011 260 Sundancer seemingly fully loaded with extended warranty and then put it up for sale thirty days later. I'm sure that the circumstances are unique but wow. It still has a three-quarter full tank from the dealer...

Hey there Tom - I am starting to gather the parts for a project when the weather cools and I was hoping for some feedback from you. I started to add the Auto Tab Control earlier this year when I discovered that the HPU is hard wired to the harness in my boat. I decided to wait since I wanted...

I went to start the boat yesterday and the start battery was completely dead. I used the combiner feature of the battery switch and it started with the house battery. I have a BEP battery switch cluster with VSR connected to two Optima D31M batteries that are 18 months old. The batteries...

My temperature gauge recently quit working. I went to my local parts store and bought a replacement temperature sensor which resolved the issue except that I am suspicious of the temperature reading. Prior to the issue with it, the gauge always read slightly under 170 degrees. Now the gauge...

The local paper is buzzing that Bertram is going to announce tomorrow that they are moving their manufacturing facility to Merritt Island, FL. The location is a former Sea Ray factory on the barge canal. Great job news for our area and it will be great to have them.

We took the boat out today and I had to jump the boat to get it to start. It has only been two weeks since I have been out and the battery switch was off. The batteries are one-year old Optima Blue Top Group 31's. Something is obviously pulling down the batteries. I have recently upgraded...

Interesting that this would happen after giving accolades on the forum this week about dry storage. I popped by the boat this evening to get it ready to take out this weekend and I noticed a large puddle of oil under the outdrive. Upon closer inspection I notice that there is a large chunk of...

Now that it is cooling off in FL I am ready to tackle the new sound system on the boat. I've already acquired a JL Audio 6 channel amp, 2 JL Audio 7.7 speakers, a JL Audio 10" sub and an Audio Control Overdrive pre-amp. Now it is time to pick a head unit. I want to be able to run Pandora on...

To date I have been operating my 5.7L just below where I believe my secondaries kick in and hoped that I had picked a sweet spot. I just purchased a fuel flow meter that I am hoping to install this week and it occured to me that I'm not sure that I know what to do with the data. My "best"...
