Windlass motor decides to commit suicide this weekend. Not generally a big problem as I troubleshot it and found the motor was bad. Previous posts send us to Imtra which I went. Original posters said very nice people to work with. I now understand why they are so nice as they are charging me $...

Anyone got trips planed for Labor day weekend? Jack

On my display panel there are 2 digital readings for which battery bank you are on and what power it is using. The bank side reads correctly with how many volts are in the bank IE 24.6 or 12 .4 etc. The power usage side shows EEE on all battery banks. It always read correctly until recently. Any...

How does Sirius weather work? It is installed on my boat but I never got the subscription. I am debating getting it now. I have a C120 Raymarine and a clarion sirius radio. Would it show on this chartplotter screen ? If so how would you prompt it on the screen? Any and all info would be...

I've heard thru the grapevine that there will be Mudslides in Bimini. I personally can't wait. It is rather weird as Bimini is mostly sand??????? Jack

When looking at my hull from an angle you can see a fog ( for lack of a better word ) in the gel coat. It kinda looks like it does in the morning when there is a dew on it. It is not oxidization. It's in the gel coat. I have have yet to break out the arsenal of polish products that I have to...

I have a C120 Raymarine chartplotter with Navionics Platinum+ card. Detail in Florida is great. Detail in Bahamas sucks. Navionics card says Florida and Bahamas. Is the Raymarine detail in the Bahamas just that bad or ?????????? Jack

Anyone ever used Rain-X on their Isenglass? I was wondering what the long term affects would be. I would hate to start using it and find out that 6 months later I had to replace it all. Jack

It is a given that the aftercoolers on these engines are the weak link. While pondering this weekend about this I thought I might research the possibility of building a seperate cooling system just for the aftercooler. The way I think this would work would be to use a seperate pump and heat...

OK guys I guess I'll start the Thread. By this time last year a group of us ( Flippy Floppy Armada) had already put the plans together for a Port Lucaya trip. As I live for taking trips on my boat I'm ready to start planning one. I will be bringing my Boat to the east coast ( Boca Raton) before...

It's that time of year again. Anyone have a link to the DTOPS site? Jack

Only a few of us 560 guys but has anyone ever ran wire from the control panel in the salon into the bilge? I've looked at it several times and just don't see an easy way. Jack

Is anyone up to speed on the freedom to go to Cuba act? I know that the bill was introduced in Feb. 2009 and was supposedly passed. Where it all goes from there I don't know. I would just like to visit Cuba on my boat. Jack

My Systems Monitor has issues. It's the newer style with the reset button and lcd screen. It shows a row of letters across the top. I will hold in the reset button for a bit then it shows what it always used to show ( Sea Ray Boats all systems normal). After a while it goes haywire again. Any...

I have 2 shurflo fresh water pumps on my boat. I was wondering how these work. Specifically does one pump run at demand and then the other kicks on for volume? Do they cut in and out at different pressures. Or are they both supposed to run at the same time. I also don't know how the pressure...

I need to replace one of my stateroom TV's. I wanted one with a DVD player but they all load from the side. Do they make one that loads from the front? All my stateroom TV's are hard mounted and short of putting slides with locks I can't see how you could use one of the sideload DVD's. I guess...

My 20 KW decided to overspeed. Which in turn fried an air unit and the microwave. Has anyone ever experianced this? I know there is an electrical device that regulates the speed attached to the throttle. As soon as it's started it tries RPM suicide. Jack

I can't for the life of me figure out why Sea Ray decided to discharge the Genset exhaust on the side of the bridge boats where the opening to the aft is. All the bridge boats I have been on all discharge the Genset exhaust to the aft opening. WTF. You can climb up on the other side but then you...
