    Shower drain seal replacement - how to access? 2000 410 Sundancer

    Title says it all - master head shower draining slowly, turned out to be shrunken black rubber seal blocking 50% of drain. Simple fix - if you can figure out how to access the bottom of the shower??? Kick panel in salon? In through galley cabinets? I'm stumped, but that is nothing new...

    Seattle to Portland? Circling Vancouver Island?

    Wondering if any CSR member have done either of these trips and care to offer up their experiences, advice, etc. Having cruised north from Seattle to San Juans and as far north as Toba Inlet, we are in the planning stages for some longer, late summer trips to other destinations. The...

    340DA 2005 8.1L "popping" at high RPMs

    Sea Trial failed for 2005 340DA due to a 'popping' sound (not pre-detonation 'ping') >4000rpm. All other operation normal. Generator makes similar sounds under high amp load, with or without mains running. Fuel, right? Not so quick...50 gallons fresh on each side with additive on top of...

    Things got a little dinghy yesterday...

    My Sea Ray 410 is stored under cover on Seatte's Lake Union. Last week, the Property Manager called me to ask if he could move my boat as they were servicing the sprinkler system. I agreed, asked him to make sure it was tied back properly. Yesterday, I took four friends out for a quick...

    2001 Sea Ray 340 Amberjack - cockpit seating

    Have a potential client that is interested in a very nice 2001 Sea Ray 340 Amberjack, but only if he can add permanent perimeter seating in the cockpit. Anyone done this, or seen this done? Flip-down would be cool...

    New house batteries last only 1 year?

    Spring 2013 installed four new lead/acid Interstates on my 410DA to replace the four 'BrandX' lead/acid that were nearly four years old and showing signs of their age. This time I used cranking batteries for the port side pair, and deep cycles for the starboard side (house), retaining the...

    Riddle me this one...

    Okay - so here is a mystery and I'm opening it up for the brains here. Twice in the last year, immediately after hauling the boat via Travellift (once to load on the semi for transport, once out on the hard for repairs) I come around the stern of the boat to find her 'bleeding'... It is...

    HSW-800 V2 - rebuildable cores

    Two used HSW-800 V2 (1.6:1 ratio)marine transmissions from 385hp CAT diesel powered 2000 410DA. They will be out of the boat this week, and are in need of rebuilding. $1000 for the two cores 'as-is'. Should require only clutches, gears appear fine as boat was driven to dry dock under its own...

    Shaft removal 410DA

    Started to 'unbutton' everything yesterday in preparation for swapping gears. Was amazed that only one nylock nut at the transmissions is all that keeps the shaft in place...and both of mine turned loose with minimal effort, using a 2' rachet. My assistant at the props didn't have time to...

    ZF slippage after fluid change

    3128 385hp with ZF 800 series 1.6 ratio ATF out was still pink and not stinky, burnt, or carrying any visible particles. After the service, I tested forward/reverse function and verified fluid levels but boat was only operated at low speeds of 7knots or less. About a month passed before...

    3126 thermostats

    Appears that thermostats were not changed when impellors were, and after-coolers tanked winter 2011-2012. I'm seeing ~175port and ~190starboard when running the boat on plane at 2300-2400 rpm for extended periods. From a 'cool start', and running >2200rpm they will both run an even 170...
