    Replaced carpet with wood in the salon

    These are pics of the wood floor I installed last winter. Not sure if I had a chance to share. Love having the wood instead of carpet.

    Bent stainless anchor!

    Thanks for the heads-up, Sandy. That bump in the night must have been scary. Glad nothing serious happened. I will wait until winter to deal with the stainless anchor. For now, it's sitting on the dock...

    MI cruise pics

    We had a wonderful time traveling to new ports on this trip. Manistee, Ellenwood Landing in White Lake, Macatawa Bay Yacht Club in Holland.

    Bent stainless anchor!

    Sorry to delay getting back to everyone. I have not tried to get it fixed yet but will let the group know what I find out. I assume it will not be as strong and would use it only as a back-up. The new 88b Delta is great. We went to Manistee and stayed at the Municipal marina there. Rented a...

    Bent stainless anchor!

    My 56 sedan bridge came with a 60lb stainless anchor. Not sure if it was original. We anchor almost every weekend and many times we have boats rafted off of us. After a recent trip to Chicago, I had trouble getting it to bite and had no idea why. When I investigated further, I found that it...

    Faux Teak

    Very late to this thread but just installed AquaTrac through TT Custom Marine and love it. Pics attached. It's the "squishy" type because we needed to have traction on the stairs to the bridge.

    1998 450DA Vacu-flush pump replacement cost $$$ ?

    Both of my vacu-flush pumps would "stick" in the "on" position and run at random. I actually wound up with a cracked holding tank at the end of the season last year (not related to the pump issue). I had to replace the tank anyway so I got a quote to replace both pumps and upgrade to a more...

    240v and 120v

    I have the same set-up as Gofirstclass on my '99 56' Sedan Bridge. I had the old-style ends replaced on my cords this winter so I can now just plug directly into any 50-amp with both sides without an adaptor. If I'm somewhere without 2 50s, I can adapt to a 30 if needed.

    Westerbeke Diesel Starting Sequence

    I press mine to the start position but never hold it in place during pre-heat. I wait 15-seconds and then hold it down to start it. Not really sure if this is the correct way but I've never had an issue with it starting this way...

    Sea Ray systems monitor

    I disconnected mine at the helm after numerous alarms would go off every time I shut the boat down. My mechanic said that the sensors and units go bad after a while - I have a '99 56" Sedan Bridge.

    Fantastic '16 season so far!

    It's been a while since I've posted but we have been busy on the water so far this season. New heads are working great - Thank you Centerpoint Yacht Services in Milwaukee. Added faux teak pads to stairs to prevent another fall from the bridge (and more broken ribs) - Thank you TT Custom Marine...

    550 Sedan Bridge

    Tom, I honestly ran into the same response from my independent mechanic. He did not work for any of the manufacturers prior. He did the initial survey, which included oil samples, etc. and was pleased that the boat had the CAT 3406s. My brother also drives large coach buses on the side (for...

    Lake Michigan Rendezvous

    We would have loved to join but I am on the board for Yacht Blast For Kids (fund raiser for Make-A-Wish) happening at the Milwaukee Yacht Club that weekend. FYI, there are a bunch of Sea Ray owners that we hang out with in Milwaukee and we usually travel together either the last week in July...

    What's You're Winter / Spring Upgrades?

    1) New holding tank - long story. 2) ripped out Vacu-flush systems for both heads. 3) Replaced both heads with new Thedford macerating heads and all of the plumbing and electric that goes with it. No pumps in the engine room anymore and no more freaking out about people pooping on the boat...

    550 Sedan Bridge

    I own a '99 56 sedan bridge and LOVE it. Huge bridge fan because of the sight lines and views. We don't have the full beam master but our forward master is very large and private. We have 3406 CATS and they are great and have more than enough power. A plus for the forward master is the CATS...

    560 DB Owners Club

    Mike, I am new to Club Sea Ray and just came across your outline of the 560. I have a 1999 560 and LOVE it! You nailed it about everything that is fantastic about the boat. The only thing I have done to improve our experience (besides bridge enclosure and electronics upgrades) is to convert...
