    Vacuflush problems

    We also have a Vacu Flush system, and although I see that you have resolved your issue successfully, I would not recommend that one should insert a hose to run water into a vent on the system. We have a holding tank vent filter on our vent line that we found to be clogged terribly because the...

    1989 Sedan Bridge 300

    Ours has a ridge around the edge under the front of the seat cushions. When we take the legs off of the table, it will fit into that ridge. The cushion then will fit on top of it. The hardest things we found with changing out the carpet was that there are thousands of little carpet staples that...

    1989 Sedan Bridge 300

    Most of what we did to the interior was to make the boat easier to live on, so they may not be what you're looking for. First was to take out the at least 25 year old carpeting. We used vinyl plank flooring to work with all the curves. We also took out the lower berth to give us extra storage...

    1989 Sedan Bridge 300

    Thanks, there's always something to get after when you have a boat. :grin: We've made some upgrades on the inside, and now we're starting to work on the canvases. I have the digital files for the manual, parts manual, and wiring diagram if you need them. They've been a big help to us.

    1989 Sedan Bridge 300

    I also wanted to add that your waste tank won't empty if you have a clogged air filter on your sanitation system's air vent line. The air filter has charcoal in it and can clog the vent line if it gets wet. We had that happen when we first got the boat. Also, you have to make sure that you do...

    1989 Sedan Bridge 300

    Hi. We also have an 89 Sedan Bridge 300 and have experienced some of the same issues. We do have to use the trim tabs to get the boat on plane. We have the same engines as you, but the boat has a lot of weight for it's length. Our running speed is about 30 mph on plane, and while we don't have...

    Onboard Isolation Network Solution Needed

    We use a Digital Yacht modem (and antenna) with a Linksys router. This does just what the op asked for. I access the Digital Yacht modem through its ip address to choose the wifi signal I want to connect with, and then use my own personal password protected router to network my devices. The...

    Power cord in the water.

    We would have had a problem with our power cords occasionally dangling in the water during tidal changes, but we took care of the problem by putting a couple of heavy duty bungee cords together, wrapping the power cords around the bungee cords, and then securing one end of the bungee to the boat...

    Stern heavy????

    We have the 89 300db. it's the same as yours and with the same issue. We're actually living on the boat permanently now, and when we take it out, we do like NorCal Boater says and run it at trawler speeds most of the time. But it is nice to know that these boats will run faster if you have to...

    wifi signal booster....

    We checked into using our marina cable TV connection with our own router and found that it would have cost us at least $50 per month and then you're limited to just your dock cable connection. By using the Digital Yacht system we can anchor out anywhere along the coast or at any marina, and as...

    wifi signal booster....

    We went with the Digital Yacht system antennae, modem, and our off the shelf router. We are up against distance, strong winds, and even the tide which dropped our boat low enough to lose the direct wifi signal. We are north of the office, and the coastal north wind affects our signal strength...

    wiring diagram

    We were able to get wiring diagrams for our entire 1989 300DB by going through the contact request on the Model Archive section on the Sea Ray website. We've requested information a couple of times and have always had a quick response. They're a great resource for our older models. :)

    Boating accident in Miami

    What we don't understand is that it was only a 16 ft center console boat and no one knew when he fell off. How could even the other two passengers lose sight of someone on a boat that small that's all open?? As far as going out for the fireworks and drinking on the boat -- we did go out on the...

    Heads Up for Those with Boats in Washington State

    We have Boat US coverage, and they email us in time to contact our state representatives when questionable state legislation is proposed that would impact FL state recreational boaters. For instance, recently legislation was proposed that would allow municipalities to restrict mooring. This...

    Health Question

    I think just being on the boat helped me last year when my injury was most acute. I'd make my way up to the fly bridge and balancing myself with the gently rocking boat was very similar to the core strengthing exercises I would later do in therapy.

    Health Question

    Am trying to avoid surgery for a L7 herniated disk that is between two other badly deteriated disks and totally agree that Gabapentin (Neurontin) is the best of the medications. Doesn't have any of the narcotic side affects and helps to relive that crawly, zinging nerve pain. Physical therapy...

    The Blue Angels Are Back Over the Bayou

    The Blues are back home in Pensacola from their winter training in CA. :) This morning was their first base practice, and there were over 25,000 spectators on base to watch - easily broke the previous record of 15,000. We took the boat back in the bayou to watch and got a few pictures with the...

    So how old are you? Post in the poll

    We're 60 and 62 -- both July birthdays. As long as we can push and pull each other up to the flybridge, we'll be boating. :lol:

    49 States Have Some Snow, Florida Only One With No Snow...

    The Florida Panhandle got to share in the icy fun last week. :wow: We were at 63 today and heading to the 70s. Now if we could just get a little more water under the boat in low tide (REALLY low this winter), we'd be off. May be looking at another marina where not such an issue . . .
