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...

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...

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...

I noticed today that the FWD bilge switch is always illuminated and appears engaged on the control panel. It does not matter whether or not the rocker switch is "on" or "off", it is always illuminated even when the solenoids ore not engaged. The FWD bilge pump has not worked since i purchased...

anybody know the discount code for CSR members at flounder pounder? I thought i saw one advertised at some point, perhaps I am wrong... thanks! Greg

I finally replaced my fresh water pump and SURPRISE my toilet doesn't flush! The bowl filled up with water yesterday and due to the pitch of the lift I found all the water had drained out and was sitting in the corner of the head's floor. I hear the pump pumping away when I turn on the breaker...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the beam vac to turn on. I was under the impression you just plug it in and it comes on automatically. I inspected the canister today and it looks brand new, has no dirt in the bag etc. I flipped on all the breakers, plugged in the hose and...

after getting towed in yesterday by Tow Boat U.S. the captain pushed me into my dock in the midst of a hellacious storm and the boat got caught under the dock's aluminum step (while her retreated until the weather subsided) due to the tide and wind. I tried with all my might to keep her off the...

So I am a complete rookie here with what I am trying to accomplish on the boat I purchased, I want to diagnose and fix as much as I can without having to call a mechanic. As stated in Gen Discussion I had my starboard engine sputter out and will not restart. I will attempt to change the fuel...

So after a month of repairs and upgrades I finally had the opportunity to take the boat from the dock for the first time. The boat has been on a lift and unused for about a year (before i bought it) and the last month or so I have lowered it down in the water, fired her up and let her run for...

This weekend was spent cleaning and polishing a boat that sat relatively unused on a lift for about a year. As I get familiar with the boat I start to find little things here and there that were unnoticed during he pre purchase inspection and survey. I discovered yesterday that my Port Fuel...

Has anyone polished their chrome (or is it plastic) DTS shifter? The boat I purchased has a really foul looking set of shifters and housing. I bought some CLR but haven't tried using it yet.

I am going to replace all the culking on the exterior of the boat, considering a 3M product (white). Can anybody recommend anything better?

Hello all! I am about to finally get started on my "refit" of the 2008 Sundancer 38 we just purchased. I want to do a general deep clean of all the surfaces and I find that all the doors, cabinets, drawers where there is veneer in the cabin, are really sticky at the seams. On some parts of the...

One of the greatest draws to buying a Sea Ray over any other make was their comprehensive parts manuals available for boats dating back to 1970. I am really impressed with how everything has a template, diagram and part number down to the bolt and washer of each original item of the boat. My...

I am faced with the decision of spending aprox $12k for the Legacy Protection Plan. I have read that it is a complete waste of money as there are too many exclusions as well as praise for "catastrophic failure" being covered. I would really appreciate some feedback on this subject as the peace...

Hello Clubsearay! I am joining the "Sea Ray owners club" this upcoming week with a 2008 38 Sundancer, our family could not be more excited. We have been boating for 23 years and this is our third boat. We have a relatively extensive cosmetic refit ahead of us as the boat has been neglected...
