I am trying to figure out why when the boat sits for more than a couple weeks my port engine refuses to start. It cranks fine ... but will not fire. The stbd. engine starts fine. If I prime the carb ( it is a 1995 carbed motor ) wit a bit of raw fuel the beast will start up just fine. If I...

First of all I am a new Sea Ray owner... I have had a ton of boats ... but this is the first time we have had a big boat in fresh water over the winter. Our 400 express is in a covered marina in Portland, in a area that the river pretty much always has a small amount of current. The boat is...

I am new to the sea ray forum, I am trying to get up to speed, ( figuratively and literally) moving from a slow long range 50' diesel trawler to the 400 express. I have a idea of what to expect at cruise regarding fuel consumption with the 454's, but does anyone have fuel curves for this boat...

Another new guy to sea rays checking in... I have been messing about in boats for over 25 years, possibly a new 96 400 express gasser owner soon. Will be switching from a 50' trawler so I know I will be experiencing major fuel shock.... aah the cost of speed!. I currently cruise the Puget Sound...
