Hello all, After selling our 400 Sedan Bridge, we have now purchased a 95 220BR. This is a runabout to go with a lake house we are buying. I know there is an entire you tube series on a rebuild by FriscoBoater. Yet I bought one anyway. It does have some soft spots that I will work on over...

This is a 1996 400 Sedan Bridge with Cat 3116 Diesel Engines. It has been well cared for in a freshwater environment. Originally owned by singer George Jones, this vessel has had many upgrades. Most recently a new bottom job this last winter, along with new shaft seals. The carpet has been...

The day after Christmas our little schnauzer woke us up and he couldn’t get confortable. He would try to lay down in very obscure places for a few seconds at a time. We took him in to discover his kidneys were shutting down and had an enlarged heart. Next day we had to make the tough decision...

This weekend I was tidying up the ER and had some standing water in the bilge. Not too concerned because I had replaced a freshwater pump recently. I vacuumed up the water and closed her up. The next morning I wanted to see if it was dry. Well it wasn’t. I discovered the stbd dripless seal was...

Last winter I replaced the the platform in the engine room that the Westerbeke generator sits on. The above pic is the result. In the 400DB, the generator is mounted in the center of the vessel and aft in the engine room. Originally from factory, it sits on a piece of plywood that is about 2’...

Frank/Everyone, Hope everyone remains safe. Looks like it is pretty close to TI there where it is making landfall.

we are going to spend a few days in Victoria BC on the harbor. I would like to do a sail charter. Anyone have any experience with power or sail charter companies up that way?

So I am wondering what is going to become of the sea rays that have Man engines in them as they age. I have a 1996 400 DB with 3116 Cats. I love the cat engines. Mainly because they are easy to maintain and are all mechanical. I am looking at possibly upgrading to a 2005 550 sedan bridge...

Heading down to Fort Lauderdale today. Fortunate enough to join a vendor last minute for behind the scenes access to the show to review their product. Have never been, and looking forward to checking it out. Rusty I'll be looking for you.... David

Anyone experience this? So I recently replaced the battery charger after it kept frying my batteries. Right before I did that, we were stuck out on the hook because the port engine would not start. I eventually got it started, but in the process the attempts to start without enough juice in the...

After having my batteries fried multiple times, I purchased a Pronautica 1250P 3 bank charger. The install was fairly straight forward. Original Promariner 40 Amp 3 bank charger New Pronautica 50 Amp charger Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow what a beautiful place. Plane ride in was very scenic. All the islands must make for a unique boating playground up this way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Staying right in the historical district for college visits. Any suggestions on restaurants and/or marinas I should be checking out while we are here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have a '96 400DB, which has been great for our family. Several years ago, we had hardwoods professionally installed throughout. I am now considering making upgrades to a couple of cabinets in the galley and salon as an accent to the darker hardwood we had installed. The cabinets are...

"It stopped hissing, maybe it will be ok" Good grief, just like I don't have enough to do with the boat already. Is a punctured what-ever-it-is in the freezer repairable? I now have a tiny pin hole it one of the ridges that evidently carries coolant. Any thoughts on repairs, or am I...

Ok electrically savvy folks, need your wisdom. I took the pano pic of my gauges recently. You can see the starboard voltmeter is lower that port. Exactly what is this telling me? Is my alternator going bad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So we have a boat that has been at the marina the entire time we have been there, at least three years. It is about an 07 44DB, nice boat with Cummings. Never used, never see the owners. The couple owning it are now divorced and the lady decides to let her new boyfriend take her four children...

Need some help here. I have a switch at the panel that is not getting power. This is the rocker switch that powers on the anchor, not the up and down switch. I am getting a good ground to the switch, but can't get power. If I jumper power to the switch, that does not work either-meaning the led...
