    Nason switches on DD 6v92

    I have 5 of these Nason low pressure switches (2 port and 3 starboard) on my DD 6V92 625hp motors. They are tied into the fuel lines above the secondary fuel filter. Here is my problem. A mechanic was working on the boat and concluded that the switches were bad and needed replacing. He...

    440 Express Bridge

    I looked at the 44 and 45 EBs before I picked up my SB last year. Love the layout. The 45 has a bit bigger beam and the layout is more modern with a change in the stateroom set up. The 44 is a bit narrow to traverse along the sides. Making spring lines a bit of a balancing act. Love the...

    Looking for a new fridge for 95 sun dancer (30 foot)

    2nd the "throw away" fridge. I bought one on Amazon. Free shipping. If it breaks in a couple years, I'll buy another. Why spend $1000+?

    Discretion is the better part of valor

    Great video. I'd love to see more. Nice to see a boat similar to mine taking one over the bow and chug along nicely. Sea Rays can handle bigger seas when they need to. Most owners simply choose the safest days to venture out.

    DD 6V92 Overhaul??

    Here's the quick history. I own a '98 550DB with DD 6V92 625hp motors with 1750hrs. I've owned the boat for less than a year and I don't have much of a history. The survey (from a reliable Detroit guy) came back great. Last week, I was running for about 2.5hours at 1750rpms at 170 temp...

    How do you like the transition to a fully enclosed helm?

    All due respect to my friends from the North but, I couldn't imagine having a completely enclosed bridge (even though I've never owned one). I've been on one and it just didn't seem like I was boating. I love the wind and sun. I live in Florida as well. We boat all year long. In my...

    550 Sedan Bridge

    Capt. Rusty, I'd be honored to have you aboard. You've probably forgotten more about boating and Sea Rays than I currently know. PM me. Best regards,

    Fuel Cross Over Board

    My fuel Cross Over Board has a fuel return valve (off/on/return) below the Generator fuel valve. Is this valve only for the Generator? If yes, shouldn't there be a pair of valves for the motors? If no valve is needed for the motors, why is there one specifically for the generator?

    550 Sedan Bridge

    ttmott, I see that you are in my neighborhood, The Space Coast. You are looking at newer boat than mine but, I you want to see a '98 550DB give me a call. I love mine and I'm sure you will find that perfect boat. Good luck.

    Battery recommendations

    I feel your pain. I just installed 6 group 31 Interstate AGMs. At a cost of almost $300 per, I'm still feeling the pain. Not to mention, I now have to replace two 4Ds. Ouch. I'm banking on the fact that I won't have to replace them again anytime soon. My mechanic has the Interstate...

    Making the trip across Florida using the Okeechobee Waterway

    No personal experience but, I've always heard it can get really shallow and the locks breakdown quite a bit. Good luck and have fun. It's a trip I've always wanted to do.

    Re: Basic set up (lines, fenders, etc), what should be on the boat? help a new guy ou Just to add to the already extensive list: 1. Extra Towels for those sudden rainstorms. 2. Extra Rags - you always use them for something. 3. Cleaning supplies - boat soap, sponges, simple green, deck...

    Freshwater Pump Replacement

    My "new to me" boat came with a 220v pump and a 24v back up. At some point the previous owner removed the 24v pump leaving only the original 220v pump. This pump is original and runs all the time, it needs to be replaced. The way I see it, I have two options. 1. Replace the two pumps as...

    A weekend in Seattle with a side trip to Mt. Rainier

    Great photos. Makes me wish I could make a trip up that way. It's just a bit too far from Florida.
