Well, its been a little over 7 years since selling our 03 340DA, a pretty lackluster 7 years I must say. Selling it was definitely bittersweet but it also has given us time to consider what we really enjoyed doing with our free time. Ultimately, I'd rather pack up and move west for 10yrs or so...

Whoever coined that term was a dumba*s or just didn't get it. The first half is completely true but the second half, not so much. I am typing this with watery eyes... So, two weekends ago we went out for what turned out to be our last cruise on the 340. I couldn't have asked for a better...

I know this was discussed before but I hate the search function. Anyhow, living in NC, we receive a letter each year around now asking whether I'm liable for the tax on it for the next year. It goes like this 1- My boat should be listed for tax purposes in the county listed above 2-My boat...

I'm debating on whether or not to go this year but the main deciding factor is where to stay and how to get around if not staying close to the show. I went 2 yrs ago and stayed at Beach Place Towers, just a hop skip and a jump to the show. This year I waited too late and they appear to be...

I just finally got around this past weekend to re-commissioning our 230BR. Like always, upon startup I felt the manifolds after a minute or two and they were getting hot, no water flow. I'm guessing the water in the pump was frozen when I had it winterized last fall and thats what ruined the...

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/boa/1172780878.html Everyone needs a houseboat that can handle 8' seas :smt100 I sure hope no one actually believes this and goes out to the canyons in it. I just wish Sea Ray would give me a 25 yr warranty against scratches and fading

Thats the most absurd price I've seen for a set of eight plug wires :wow: In dealing with my issues of my 8.1 I figured I'd replace the plug wires just to eliminate the possibility of them being part of the cause. Merc replacement wires at a discount supplier are $440.65 cents, and thats a...

I started having issues late last year with my stbd engine losing power above 3600 rpm. Anything above 15-1600 rpm required more throttle (noticable in the levers) to keep the engines synced. Tonight, I'm in the bilge replacing the spark plugs and the rear cyl in the stbd engine (actually first...

While looking around, I came across these Ongaro horns that look like the originals in many sea rays. Look at bottom of page http://www.ongaromarine.com/horns.htm Anybody tried these and if so are they a replacement for the cheesy OEM buzzer? SB

Dear Employees, Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of the economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement.. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early). Persons selected to be...

My starboard throttle is off by a good inch or so (more throttle) from the port when at cruise, engines sync'd. This has always happened when I haven't run the boat in a while but has gotten better after running it for a while, within a half inch after on plane for 20 min or so. This past...

Ok, we're lovin the 75 degree days on the boat this weekend but tonight and the next few are going to be cold. The heat seems to have crapped out, pumps pumping, fans blowing but it's cold air. I've got good water flow, water temp at about 55 and no codes on the controller. My fan is set to run...

My boat is in the water year round and being in NC, I'm not planning to winterize anything in the bilge (engines, genset etc) I'm not sure if I need a heater or not either, its rare to have an extended period in the 20's on our coast and I'd imagine the water temps stay above 40* all winter...

Thanks Jim :thumbsup: But why do I have to be one of those "other people", I didn't vote for *deleted due to non-holding tank*?? Do I get to moderate this section myself? Newbie *Deleted by First born*

I have a Zodiac with the inflatable keel and plywood floor. My son was the last to inflate the boat and must have overinflated the keel as the floor seam where it meets the flotation tube in the front/center has seperated. Its only about 10-12" that came apart. Is this something I could...

Well, it looks like Hanna may be my first decent storm since owning a boat I can't trailer. What have those of you done for prep work who have been through this in the past? I plan to leave the boat in the water, tied to floating docks that can handle a 20+ foot storm surge at high tide. I...

I am considering moving the boat north for a few weeks in august and most shippers are telling me the arch needs to be lowered. Some do, some don't. Anyhow, does anyone know if this is something that could be done by 2 people, say myself and my wife? I have no idea how heavy the arch is so...

There appears to be an aux input on the back of the head unit but it is rca type jacks, red and white. Is there a cable that plugs into that and then into the headphone jack on the Ipod? If so, where can I find one long enough to reach to the helm? Thanks SB
