Looking for anyone running these engines for normal coolant operating temps - cruise and wot if known. Thx.

Getting out of my '08 48DA and now in contract on a 2018 L550 (coupe, not fly) - survey in a week. Anyone with experience about this model willing to share thoughts would be appreciated (positives, negatives, things to look out for specific to this model, etc) - and yes, I am aware Sea Ray no...

For those of you in the area, appreciate any guidance - I will be picking up the "new to me" boat Thursday, heading down to Long Island, starting in Lake Champlain. I have received some suggestions on marina's for overnight, etc - realizing that since the season has really just started for the...

So had survey yesterday - fresh water boat 475 hrs. Full Cummins survey shows some things to be rectified but nothing to kill a deal. Boat is extremely clean. Only survey item was some moisture readings in bilge area in salon - floor and horizontal devide panels that separate the compartments -...

I posted this as an add on to a old thread I found, but realized I may get a quicker response if I post as new. So please excuse the duplicate - I (subject to survey) will be getting a '08 48da from fresh water (lake Champlain) and bringing it down its own bottom to Long Island. Boat is in...

In contract on a 48da located on lake Champlain - plan is to run her early May down the Champlain canal into the Hudson. From there through the spuyten duyvil into the Harlem river, through hells gate and into the Long Island sound. Looking to get her home in 3 days which I am told is doable...

Anyone know a quality Cummins mechanic in that area to do a separate engine survey? If not I will be flying my mechanic up north. Thanks.

Noticed lights were very dim end of season. Now on the hard and see one of the lights has significant salt built up behind the lense - an obvious leak. Does this require a complete unit change? Anyone know what the oem lights used by SR were this year? Thanks.

Keep my boat in the lower peconic (Flanders bay). Water temps hit 82 degrees last week. Boat ran fantastic over July 4th weekend to and from Montauk. Go to run her 12 days later and she is sluggish, only hit 2470 rpms. Pull her an both props covered in small barnacles. Bottom not bad, so clean...

In the bilge of my boat, under the starboard engine, there is supposed to be a “weep hole” that lets any water drop into the center bilge area to then be pumped out with the bilge pumps. I had some rainwater get into my bilge (think I found the source and caulked it this weekend) but the water...

:smt038I struggled for months which Davit system to buy - the biggest issue being the high (2' off water) platform on my 44DA. Items that factored into my decission were as follows: 1. I have a 9'6" RIB with a 9.9 four stroke, and that I know I am not looking to go much larger or heavier in the...

Considering a weekend in Mystic and bringing the kids to the seaport. Question is has anyone done the trip - and if so, should I be looking to stay at the Seaport marina (which I understand is north of the bridges) or should I be looking to stay before the bridges (Brewers or someplace else)...

Any ideas on what would cause - started end of last year and marina said it was fine - took boat out today and it is making the crackling sound again. It is both port speakers so doubting both went bad - could it be electrical? Stock system with no mods. Thanks. :huh:

Has anyone run out FI Inlet recently, if so, how was depth and was it marked? I am supposed to run from FI to Shinnecock a week from Monday - any info would be appreciated as I have heard different things but nothing from people who actually ran it. Saw a new 45 Dancer under Sea Tow today in...

Need to replace the front curtains - ising glass was replaced 3 years ago with a low quality glass, now getting cloudy as it had excess exposure this winter post Sandy as my marina did not get me re-wrapped quickly enough. Canvas is discolored as well for same reason and was told it will not...

So beginning of july I have a issue with my overflow bottle on Port engine - cummins says the cap was bad (was not venting properly) so they replace the canister and the cap (as the canister became out of shape due to expansion / contraction). Now a month later I see condensation on the new cap...

Have a 44da with cummins qsc 500's - ran boat for a short while today and noticed that the oil pressures were farther apart than usual - ran (at cruise speed and WOT) 47lbs Port and 74 Stb. They were never identical but were closer than this over past 3.5 months. Checked the fluids upon return...

So I have had my home port in the great south bay over 30 years (Patchogue area). Now that we have the bigger boat (and the deeper draft) we are considering moving our home port to somewhere in the Peconic so we have more options to really run the boat and see new places (althought the thought...

So I go down to the bilge to do a normal fluid check and see the port engine coolant overflow bottle is slightly "sucked in", and as such, coolant is close to the top of the canister (probably only 2 inches off top). Notice SLIGHT condensation on top of the plastic cap. Dry it off, go down a...

Has anyone heard a status update on the dredging they were doing in Moriches, and if so, is it done? Any word on the depth of channel, do we still need to all but kiss the buoys? Is it the "north" channel towards Harts cove like the past 2 years or are they back to the original dogleg from...
