    40 sedan bridge forum

    I had the same problem except it was my daughter and son-in-law. I solved to it by replacing the screws with bolts and large washers. It was tough to get to the underside of the floor because it is so close to the engine but I was able to do it. That was 3 years ago and I haven't had a problem...

    I'm having AC issues...

    You can screw the spare end cap connector that comes with the head charcoal filter to the garden hose. The other side will go into the HVAC hose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We moved from a 32 Dancer to a 2003 40 Sedan Bridge. Great boat with a lot more space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding electrical heating source to cabin and helm

    I spend weekends on my boat in Baltimore in the winter. It got pretty cold last year. We used three oil filled radiator style electric heaters when the water got to cold for the reverse cycle to work. Put one in the bilge and one in the salon and the last in the forward cabin. Worked fine but...

    Port Engine Accelerates Faster than Starboard

    You should be able to move the throttles together without the sync on to see if they respond differently. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Port Engine Accelerates Faster than Starboard

    I think what you are describing is the normal operation of the synchronizer. That port engine is the master and the starboard is the slave. It takes a few seconds for the slave to adjust to the master throttle setting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2007 36 Sedan Bridge

    I looked at the 36 and ended up going with the 400. The 36 felt top heavy to me although I never did a sea trial. In my case the 400 was almost the same price as the 36 and it has diesels. I think he would be better off with an older 400. .

    trim tab question

    You should be getting an indication that the tabs are working when you activate them. It the boat's attitude doesn't change significantly, they probably need to be checked.

    I just replaced my microwave a couple of weeks ago. Pull out the fridge and you'll see the screws that secure the oven. Once you find them all, just lift the unit over the lip and you should be good to go.

    40 sedan bridge forum

    I had to clear a blocked screen in the dock water inlet last weekend. I struggled with the starboard panel for quite some time until I removed the valve wheel from the fresh water out faucet. The panel came right out with a little twist and pull, then. I still experience dock water pressure that...

    What are the rules for exterior mesh window shadow

    My 400 DB came with both a white and a black screen. I use the white one because I think it reflects the light a keeps us cooler. I hate that it messes up our view. I plan to change it out for a very dark tint. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Bow Thruster Install in 2003 400DB

    I am in the research phase of getting thrusters. The bolt on external models look like an attractive alternative to building a tunnel in the hull. Below is a link to the ethrust type I am considering. Any thoughts? http://www.yachtthruster.com/home-external

    Boat Light Parade

    I use my boat year around in Baltimore and rather than winterize I have an oil filled radiator in the bilge and a couple more in the cabin. I put swim noodles in the engine room vents to keep the heat in. I have an alarm that sends a text with the bilge temp each day and notifies me if the...

    Advice on adding a boat monitoring/alarm system

    I put the Siren system in last year and it works well. It has many capabilities in addition to security.

    Mine look the same but I haven't done anything about it. Have you checked out the price of replacing them. Sea Ray might be a good source.

    VA to Boston bound

    Check the tides and try to go through Hell's Gate on the flood. It won't matter all that much in a power boat but it will save you a little fuel.
