Hello all! I would like to join you for NYE! Still trying to get a headcount. I just moved our boat to Faro Blanco for 4 months and have spoken to the dock master, I am under the impression they can offer a package of some sort for a group... the facility is really nice and I am very impressed...

Is there any chance that the Raypilot ST-8002 is contributing to this problem? It is not powering up...

Today I purchased and installed the SeaTalk Crossover Coupler (E55060) and two E55049 cables as instructed by Raymarine. The "master" now communicated the vessel position and coordinates to the "slave", yet the "slave" had a no data warning to radar function while the chartplotter on the "slave"...

thank you all for you input here... I'm definitely torn between the $100 craftsman set and the $40 Harbor Freight... seems like price per piece they are relatively on par with one another. Greg

I am looking to buy a Craftsman tool kit that will be not just comprehensive but also relatively compact. Does anyone have any recomendations for one of the dozens of tool kits that they offer that will be sufficient for most repairs and maintenance?

I am excited to report I ran the boat today for the second time (first time since cool fuel modules were replaced) and was able to enjoy the evening and come back to dock it for the first time without BoatU.S. doing all the work! I noticed since the fuel modules were replaced the SmartCraft...

Brian, After a few hours on the phone with Raymarine it appears the previous owner never had the proper setup where the two units communicated as master/slave. I was instructed to get 2 new cables and a stalk crossover coupler to get them to communicate... will see tomorrow. Also ordered the...

I have two Raymarine E120's and one of them gives me a "No Data" message on both chart plotter, Satellite TV, and radar. I checked all the wires and everything appears to be connected properly on both units. This has been the case since I sea trialed and bought the boat so I am not sure if they...

As I was in the bilge yesterday replacing the underwater lights I decided to remove the failed forward bilge pump. I was surprised to find that it was scolding hot to the touch, not sure if this was correlated without the light being illuminated on dash or if this was an isolated issue. I...

I see. So the only way to prime it at the dock is by doing what the installer suggested?

By run do you mean just start it or actually "run" it?

I am trying to replace the bulbs in my Sea Vision underwater lights. Does anyone know of a thread with photos or video that shows how it is done? I unscrewed the housing from the brass fitting to inspect the bulbs (which were burnt out) and putting it back in was really difficult. I called Sea...

My A/C is not working after I pull boat out of water on lift and then put back into water as a result of air getting into the water cooling lines. The installer told me I need to loosen a few screws in the pump located in the bilge every time this happens and wait for the air to escape and water...

That is interesting about the hoses, as I have started to look into replacement they are all cut based on the length and gauge you need. At least the major ones I am replacing such as fuel fill, exhaust, black water etc. Regarding the A/C, there were so many components that were rusted out and...

Although the hoses are not in dire need of replacement, as they are not leaking, I am replacing them as a preventative measure. I was told that Sea Ray buys huge reels of hoses "by the mile" and sometimes it would sit in the sun for up to a couple of years before used, putting the hoses...

Ron, Just read through your thread, thanks for sharing that, very insightful. I went by my mechanics shop yesterday as he wanted me to see why we are replacing them, he gave me a metal wire and asked me to try to drive it through the modules, it barely inserted and was met with a gritty...

$959 per module plus labor and tax, I figure $2500 USD. Cleaning them out would be temp fix that would had eventually lead to a breakdown and replacement. The units looked really poor inside and its a tough pill to swallow however we at least have peace of mind now that this issue is "solved". I...

Just saw the modules opened up, they are in a state of disrepair and need to be replaced... expensive... at least the new ones are the updated version of the cool fuel modules.

Yes Cliff, we have the pump (rule 2000) and will replace it as soon as the boat is ready to hit the water. We have one operational bilge pump aft. There is an issue with the packing of the port side rudder and it is allowing a good amount of water to permeate into the bilge. Once this is...

so the learning curve continues... turns out that what I thought was a fuel supply valve coming from tank is only a solenoid valve that is adjusted for fuel flow and does not shut off the fuel flow. The mechanic disconnected the fuel supply at the other end of the hose from the tank to the fuel...
