I had conflicting opinions on having zincs around the shafts on my Sea Ray 380. The Sea Ray people say that I don't need them because the way the boat has been wired while the mechanic says I should have them.
Please advise.
Thanks
On my Sea Ray 380 with twin 8.1 when running at 3000 RPM the port engine stays between 130 and 140 deg while the stb engine is stable at 160.

Thanks

Every time I go out and it is sunny and warm I take the canvas off to put it back on again after I am back to the dock just in case it rains.

Please advise.
Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks.
I recently purchased a 2000 Sea Ray 380 with the 8.1 Mercruisers. The sea trial went well with both engines reaching 4,400 RPM as they were supposed to.
The mechanic did the engines survey and it went well.
After I got the boat I had the shop change the manifolds, change the oil, the fuel...
I just finished the sea trial on a 2000 Sea Ray 380 with twin 8.1.
Everything went fine except that the boat had trouble reaching 4,400 RPM and when it did the speed was only about 24 knots at the GPS.
We had three people on board with half tanks of fuel and water. The water was calm but I don't...
