    12V wiring question (adding a 12V socket and a USB charger port)

    Just a thought...behind the electrical panel in the 420 DA we had, were fuses for the CO detectors and the gain controller for the Glomex. They were very low amps like 3 amp fuses I believe. Bennett

    UPDATE - MARCH 2024 - Increasing Agreed to Value on Insurance Policy

    Had been with BOATUS on our 2006 260DA and our 2007 44DB. Insurance was with Safe Waters. They initially insured our 2003 420DA, but after one year with it, Safe Waters got out of the insurance business, at least on boats. The best thing BOATUS could come up with was $2400/year on a...

    40 sedan bridge forum

    The OEM microwave on our 44DB was a combo convection oven. There was a vent fan mounted to push air over it and out a clam-shell vent on the exterior of the boat. I never realized how hot the cavity above the oven got until one day I was on the dock beside that vent and felt the air coming...

    Buying and selling private

    Buy or sell a boat privately here in GA….pay no sales tax. We bought the 420DA on a private sale in FL, registered in GA, paid no Ssles Tax. Use a broker or dealer, you will pay sales tax here. Bennett

    1000 Hour Service Cummins 6cta Sedan Bridge 420

    I also looked into the 1000 hour service on the 6CTAs in 2020 when we purchased a 420DA. There is really no 1000hr service per sey....recommended is to pull the aftercoolers and HEs, have them cleaned, and pressure tested. Even on a FW boat. To me the biggest thing was the pressure test to...

    OFFICIAL 390/40 Motor Yacht Thread

    There is a guy here on Lake Lanier that has/had a 480 MY. We looked at it 8 years or so ago. He had it taken apart, trucked it to Savanah and cruised the Bahamas and Keys. Took it apart again and brought it back here. If you want his name and number, I can see what I can do. Bennett

    OFFICIAL 390/40 Motor Yacht Thread

    The year before we bought a 44DB, we looked at the 390/40 MYs hard. Knowing it would have to be broken down to transport OTR. I never got into it far enough to find out the breakdown/put back cost. With the 44DB and OTR transport, I happened to find an ex-MM Service Manager that went out on...

    Pump out on a trailer

    I did the same after reading Dennis' Home Pump Out-Easy. I never had to prime anything. Screw in the macerator, hook up the hose, and turn it on.....empty in 5-6 mins. This was on a 260DA we had on a trailer. Bennett

    New boat prices

    When I was shopping late last spring, there were tons of used Cobia's around for way cheaper than the Key Wests, Robalos, Sea Pros, etc. I never really understood why they were considerably cheaper as they do build a nice boat. I found what I wanted in a Robalo Bay boat. Bennett

    Corinthian Aquaweave question

    It was weird. I deleted what was there and tried again... Replaced carpet in our 44DB with the Corinthian Berber in 2016. When we bought the 420DA in 2020, replaced that carpet with the Corinthian AquaWeave. Never the Berber ever again. The AquaWeave never stains or shows any dirt no matter...
