    480 MY Owners

    Any 480 MY owners that can give me thoughts on this boat, both positive and negative? I have owned a 390 MY in the past, but this boat looks to be more than a larger version of the 390. Rob

    480 MY

    ttmott, thank you for the detailed explanation. This gives me what I need to evaluate these boats. At $16k to correct both engines, that will definitely be a negotiating point if not previously corrected! Rob

    480 MY

    All Been out of Sea Rays for a few years and looking at venturing back in the fold. I am currently interested in a 2005 480 MY. From what I understand, the Cummins engines in this boat have problems with the exhaust overheating as they are "dry exhaust". Can more knowledgeable folks here...

    Official Cummins QSC-500 Thread

    Connections were fine and the gauge is still in the green on the halon bottle. Only thing I could think was a pressure drop due to winter, or possibly, I have a faulty circuit somewhere.

    Onan Diesel Gen Shut down with a Code 61

    All I am getting the error code 61 on my Onan generator as well. I put the Fireboy system to Override which fixed my mains not firing, but it has not cleared my Onan error. Is there something else that needs done to clear the error on the Onan so that it will start? It was clearly the Fireboy...

    Official Cummins QSC-500 Thread

    Turns out it was the fire suppression system sending a false discharge signal and shutting everything down. Put the switch to override on the panel and the engines fired immediately. Now I have to figure out how to reset the generator which is throwing an error 61 for external shutdown due to...

    Official Cummins QSC-500 Thread

    All New to the Cummins engines this year and have had no issues this summer with the engines firing right up without hesitation. I took to my marina last month for winterization where it has sat waiting for them to change the oil and winterize the blocks. Today, after about a month of sitting I...

    Run Bilge Blowers continuously?

    So, following this thread as I have always let my blowers run all the time in every boat I have owned since 1993. I have piece of mind not worrying about fuel fumes. In fact, after a complete fill up in a Silverton I owned, the fuel tank started leaking at the start of a 50 mile trip. I am...

    NFL to play Black National Anthem? AYFKM?

    Sea Ray vs Rinker

    I have also owned Rinker and Sea Ray. While I do believe Sea Rays are better built boats overall, there is nothing wrong with the Rinker, as I enjoyed mine very much and it is still good quality. Given the hour difference, I would probably go with the Rinker. 800 hours is a little high for a...

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    Another topic on the 44 SB. I just purchased my "new to me" 2006 Sedan with 700 hours on the Cummins QSC500s. The boat was winterized in 2018 with all the oils and filters changed. Last year, 2019, the boat was recommissioned but was run only 3 hours. When they winterized the boat last year...

    Well, definitely leaning toward faulty as I crawled all over the boat, and in the boat, and everything was bone dry. No recurrence of the alarm today. Definitely a loud alarm!

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    Bill, thank you, at least that gives me some comfort that there is not a major problem that I am not seeing. I have never had a boat with that load of an audible alarm that the neighbors could hear it! Rob

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    Got a call from my neighbor today while I was at work telling me that a loud alarm was going off on my 2006 44. I checked the security camera, and sure enough a very loud, almost like a commercial smoke alarm or burglar alarm was going off. My neighbor went down to the boat and checked...

    left searay ownership - bye for now

    Silverton has a very active Owners Club as well. I had a Silverton prior to my Sea Rays and was an active participant on that club as well. Good luck with the new boat. Rob

    420/44 DB Owners Club

    In my 390 MY, i added a separate battery for the generator and used the third charger bank that was unused for this circuit. It took some modification of the ground bar in the breaker box in order to add the circuit, but it was worth having the separate circuit. Prior to this, I had my...

    Thanks Irie and CD! Got the power cable to the new TV for the arch rerouted this evening and the old one removed. Spent forever trying to figure out why the satellite was not working until i discovered the power switch to the satellite dish right in front of my face next to the stereo was not...
