I sold my 48 DA and have (2) 4x8 Sheets of the original light cherry wood laminate. When I bought the boat back in 2012 I was able to source the original that was provided to Searay. I had anticipated that the laminate would fail but it never did so that is why I have it available. Asking $...
CSR Family, Just Lil' Sam has been put up for sale. I am the second owner of the boat and have had her for 7 years. The boat is in pristine condition with all mechanical services up to date. I have service records from the day she was born in 2007. She is washed weekly, Waxed 3x per year...
I have an intermittent shift issue and tracked it down to a faulty microswitch. When you shift the transmission forward the microswitch makes and sends voltage to the solenoid. Very simple but I can seem to source the micro switch. the switch is made by Zippy but there is no retailer. I do...
Hi All, We are taking our 48 DA down to Florida in October. We have a slip in Aventura and plan on taking multiple vacations while the boat is down there. We will be down for Thanksgiving, Christmas week, Presidents week and spring break. In addition a few weekends as well. I’m looking for...
We have many gel coat cracks on the hardtop. Are these tops engineered to be walked on? I'd assume yes in order to clean, wax and service the electronics. Has anyone had this experience before? I reached out to Searay but did not receive a response.
I need to plan on the replacement of this AC unit which is located in the bulk head between the salon and aft cabin. There is an access hatch to clean the filter but it will not accommodate the replacement of the unit. Does anyone know how this is accomplished?
I just booked a trip to this marina in Newport RI and was looking for opinion on the marina and the location. Also must do's and don'ts in Newport? Any restaurant suggestions.
I have a wood floor kit for an Achilles inflateable SPD-290. It is in new condition with the side rails and all brackets. We converted a wood floor Achilles to an air floor and these parts have been in my garage for a few years. Please PM me if interested.
I'm cleaning out some of my boat items and came across as RN300 GPS. This GPS head unit was compatible with the RL80C and RL70C Chart plotters. We removed it from our 2004 420da when the MFD was replaced. It is operable and I wanted to offer it at no cost to a CSR member. PM me if...

I am installing a blue tooth dongle and would like to know how to access the back of the stereo head. I removed it from the 4 screws on the face and pulled it out but the wiring is short and cannot be taken out all the way. I do see several screws on the underside of the shelf, but i dont...
Looking at this marina for Mystic. We are coming back from Martha's and we have young kids so this is a good port for us. Kids and wife are looking for a pool. Brewers cant give me a reservation so they are out. Any feedback on this marina?
Some pictures of Flexiteek installed on my 48da. I cant believe how much this looks like real teak. I am very happy with the quality and installation. Highly recommend APF Marine out of Hauppauge NY.
We are planning our summer trip to Martha's Vineyard and wanted to use Watch hill as one of our destinations. Can anyone offer information about this port? I was told its only an mooring field however i do see some dockage, which my family prefers. Also what are the attractions at this...
How does Cupping improve performance? My props have no cupping on them and our local Prop shop recommends cupping to improve performance. BTW, Searay calls for Cupping on the 48 da.
I have seen a few boats with a sunbrella sun shade attached to the hard top and pulled over a pole that goes in the rod holder. I am looking for a source for the telescoping stainless steel poles. They also have a roller at the top and a cam cleat to tie off. I dont remember seeing a vendor...
I have the Cantalupi, elongated "Storm" courtesy lights. They are LED (4) in each fixture. All of these lights have burnt out LED's and the lighting is poor. Any Advice on the replacement fixture would be helpful. Its does not appear that these are manufactured any longer.
During our survey we noticed that the shaft did not have zincs installed. The Surveyor tested and claimed the shaft is bonded. Do any 48 DA owners have shaft zincs? There is no brush system on the shafts either.
