Was wondering if anyone knows what the device is that tells my Raypilot auto pilot what angle my rudders are at. My boat is a 400 sedan bridge with the cylinder style steering. Its all hidden behind my generator so would be nice to know what and where I would be looking for it. Thx

Hello hello...Was wondering if anyone had some insight on a problem I am having. Before I had my valve adjustment done I had ZERO leaks what so ever on either engine. Since having the adjustment done my starboard engine is leaking from both the valve cover and I whatever the next seal 3-4...

This is a link to a video I put together to promote a trip down to the keys to use my boat, that I donate to a live charity auction. Turned out great and again brought huge bids this year. In total (4 years) it has raised over $120,000 dollars for boys and girls clubs, big brothers big...

Today I received the invoice for having my 250hr valve adjustment etc service done. On the notes the mechanic makes mention of port crank case pressure being high. "Clean crank case breather and test again" is what it said. My question is as follows...How would he have checked this...

Was wondering if anyone can shed some light on what if anything I can expect to see or feel on my 1999 400 Sedan Bridge, after my 250hr valve and fuel system adjustment. Ie: Less smoke, smoother idle, temperatures, fuel economy etc etc. Just had this service preformed yesterday after finally...

Well the dreaded day has come. When I bought my boat 4 years ago the broker and my mechanic told me not to spend a cent on the Gen as it was in rough rough shape. It ran for about 3 years and its in such rough shape I had it removed to be refurbished and the mount that it and the batteries and...

So here is the background. First off I live in Canada and the boat is in Key West at the city marina. My boat is side tied on the Port side to the dock and I have a sea doo tied from starboard stern corner to a pole about 10 feet back to keep my sea doo from rubbing on my platform or...

Hey guys and girls. I have read through many steering issues on the forum but none the exact same as mine. Here is my issue. While at the dock or underway my Seastar steering system does a click/clunk when I turn the wheel. Its a feeling not an actual noise. It only does it in one spot and...

Has anyone had a problem with the hose connected to the raw water pump blowing off? I cleaned my heat exchangers and my oil cooler last month and yesterday I blew the hose off when I brought the boat up on plane. I thought I had an obstruction but when I took everything apart it was clean. I...

A few years before I bought my 1999 400 Sedan bridge it was my dream to buy myself a Lamborghini, but when it came time my Pops convinced me a boat would be a better idea and with the down turn in the economy boat prices seemed to be reasonable. So I got off my wallet and bought the boat and...

Well Fall is upon us and I am planing on a few projects. What projects do you guys have planned? Here are mine, and any advice would be welcomed with open arms. 1. Remove, clean, and service my aftercoolers. Had a leaky turbo so they are likely to be fouled up, possibly contributing to my...

I was curious if anyone does or if their is a benefit to cycle fresh water through my raw water cooling system after each use? My boat is in Mexico and things tend to grow in the heat exchanger and was curious if this can help stop this, as the boat sometimes sits for a month or 2 while I am...

On Sunday afternoon in Isla Mujeres Mexico I was fishing the 9th annual Isla Open Fishing tourny on my 1999 Sea ray 400 Sedan when I was electrocuted. Sea's were 12-15 feet and we took a pretty good pounding. Waves were crashing over the back of the boat into the locker where my shore power...

Was wondering if anyone out there has a good idea of how the stock stereo is set up in my 400 sedan bridge? A schematic would be unbelievable if at all possible. I am told there are 2 amps but for one I cant even find them. I recently replace all 4 outdoor speakers and the sub and they...

I am off to Cancun in the morning and I currently have an engine tranny that needs to be replaced and I just haven't had the chance to do it. so my question is can I run my 1999 400 sedan bridge on just one engine. I only want to go to the island which is maybe 4 miles away and we will drive...
