Not sure if this one was picked up and posted but scary stuff. Reported to be the result of a distracted captain.

Was returning from a Lake Union Sea Ray rendezvous yesterday and we came upon a fairly large pod of orca having a little play time off of False Bay. We watched them put on a show for about 30mins and then made way for Seattle. Quite a spectacle and sharing a seemingly crappy photo of a jump...

Has anyone found a good replacement for the stock ER grill vents on the 390DA or 400DA? Although the vents are hidden from eyesight, I'm looking for something that has sufficient free area to allow adequate airflow to the engines but also are configured to minimize (1) potential water ingress...
Winter project....upgraded the display in a 2005 390DA. Minimal issues during the install with biggest headache being the enlarged cutout in the dash to accommodate the new display.

Spent a couple days of the Thanksgiving long weekend upgrading the TV's on my 390DA. The original salon TV=Zenith 20" LCD ..not bad for its time but terribly dated by today's technology. Before and after pics below.
I replaced with a Samsung 28" HD LED TV. Minor re-work to mount it on the...
I'm considering to install an inverter on my 390DA. Have searched the forum and found numerous discussions. I didn't find any specific to a 390DA config and while the fundamental electrical principles apply regardless of the boat...I'm very interested to learn from those that had it done on...
Being new to the area and as transplants from NY, the Admiral and I are looking to take the boat on a cruise over the Thanksgiving holiday. Ideally finding a decent spot to grab a traditional dinner on Thursday and just relaxing for the balance of the long weekend either at one or two...
I'm thinking to upgrade my current 6gal water heater with a larger size....ideally an 11gallon. While I will measure the available cavity to work with, by memory, it seems the space available in the existing cavity under the aft sofa is just about fully occupied by the 6gallon heater so maybe...
2005 Systems Monitor For Sale
I recently purchased a new systems monitor direct from sea ray for my 2005 390DA and selling my old one. The display on the unit I'm selling is perfect. There is a small annoyance in that the internal buzzer emits a constant but very faint chiming noise which is...
I have a 2005 390 Dancer, twin Cummins QSB5.9, 21x23 props, 540 hours on the engines. I notice a fuel consumption difference between the engines at cruise (~2540 RPM's on each engine) of about 1GPH with the port engine drinking a bit more. The % load on the port engine is also running about 5%...
While cruising the lower Hudson today at 2560 RPM (80% load) both engines(synchronizer on), I had to quickly pull back on the throttle to avoid a log strike. When idle speed was reached, a low oil pressure alarm sounded and registered for both engines on the Smart Craft. The oil pressures...

Anyone suggest some nice overnight points(390DA) along the way....thinking CT shore on way there and LI shore on return.
Any other words of...
