    Peeling bilge paint

    I have a 2004 Searay 500 Sundancer, same thing going on in my bilge. A friend of mine has a 2006 52 Sundancer, same problem. Apparently, from the information I found is that the gelcoat has a wax base and the paint applied to the bilge peels off, some small pieces, some large. I've been cleaning...

    Need good surveyor in Pine Beach NJ

    I'd call Marine Max in Brick, they'll have a recommendation for you. I spent 25 years on the Barnegat Bay near Toms River and Pine Beach. A good recommendation would be Capt. Rob Cozen, he did a survey for me a few years ago and did a good job. I don't know if he's in the area any longer, but...

    SmartCraft SC5000 display

    Sorry for the late reply, yes it's works fine. It's a 2003 year of manufacture, version 1.00. I ran the boat to Naples, Fl from NC. I'll be back to Naples on the 30th of April if you want me to send some pics. I replaced it with a NOS 2006 version 3.30 with more features. Thanks, Bow Tie

    Hi, I don't want to steal the post but can anyone tell me if there is a easy fix for a ACR 100 that will move side to side using the remote. However, it will not move up and down.

    ( HELP) Fitted sheets and bedding to fit V berth on 55 ft SeaRay Sadan

    When you add a "mattress" topper you are adding to the thickness of the mattress, the mattress on our boat is only 4-5" thick but after adding 2" memory foam and a mattress topper I needed 9" side on the sheets. It's no problem if you tell the sheet manufacturer, if you don't your sheets will...

    Hi Jeff, I assume that you have shift cables? Also, how is forward? You said N to R was inop, but did you try forward? If you have nothing going on FNR check your shift cable at the trans and make sure it is moving the shift lever at the trans. If your cable is not moving the lever, you may...

    Need help!

    Emagine, I removed the carpet and access covers, no leaks. I'll have to go further with this as soon as I get some time. Probably something simple, the forward emergency pump only cycles when the tank is topped off using the starboard water tank fill. I'm moving the boat to NC for the winter on...

    Need help!

    Steve, I didn't feel any seam in the floor, the carpet is thick enough to hide small or flat head screws. Looks like I'll be cutting a rug this weekend. Thanks for your idea though. I just don't like to remove anything unless I'm sure about it, maybe I'll cut out the entire carpet inside the...
