    SLX vs SDX

    Been a long time since I lasted posted here... used to own a 2001 410 Sundancer, then sold it to do the 'lake house & day boat' thing. Well, we're looking to upgrade our day boat and I wanted to see if anyone could share their opinion regarding the SLX vs. SDX line. We are looking in the 25 -...

    How Difficult to Install A/C Unit in Salon?

    My salon A/C keeps giving me a LO PSI error. This happened in June last year and they re-charged it and all was well... until late August. The code came back and I just dealt with it for the rest of the season. I had my marina check it out today and there is a leak. I am now faced with a...

    Swim Platform Trim

    I ordered new swim platform trim for my 410DA to replace the existing stuff (which is pretty beat-up). I see that there are screws that hold the trim onto the swim platform (about every 6" or so), so I will certainly replace those. However, do I need to use any type of adhesive as well when...

    Boat Striping

    I am in need of re-doing my striping. Has anyone tackled this on their own--is it as hard as I think it will be, or is it relatively easy if I just take my time? Any specific product(s) you would recommend? I have a 41' boat, so there is a bit of length here and I'm concerned that I will mess...

    Removing Decals/Striping

    I'm ready to update the look of my boat from the black/gold of the 2000s to the black/silver of today. I already replaced by linen tweed canvas with black and now I would like to do the striping. Has anyone removed striping on their own? From what I see online, it looks like a heat gun and...

    Galley faucet won't turn off

    My galley faucet runs continuously on the hot water side either when running water from the tank or from city water. I'm guessing I need to replace the cartridge but I am on a boat trip without access to the right part. Aside from shutting off the water, is there a workaround for this? I was...

    New Transmission Needed??

    Okay fellow CSRers... bear with me as I'm not very mechanical and will try to relay this issue to you as I best understand it... Earlier this week, I took my boat out for a 10-mile run to the Lake Erie Islands. I noticed a lot of vibration in both engines and attributed it to the engines being...

    My Season has Officially Started!

    I launched yesterday... Right before a thunderstorm rolled in. My son and I had to put up the canvas in the storm, but we got it done. It's pretty lonely at the marina right now! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A/C Mesh Filters

    Does anyone have a good source for purchasing the metal A/C filters for their units? I have a 410DA and need to replace mine--when I look online for a replacement, nothing pops up for my unit.

    Replacing Cockpit Sink

    I just bought a brand new shiny mirror-finish cockpit sink to match the brand-new shiny mirror-finish cockpit faucet I put in my boat last season. Replacing the faucet was easy, but I took a look at the sink yesterday when I was down at the boat and I can't quite figure out how to get the...

    Removing & Replacing Caulk

    I'm going to be removing some old caulk on my boat and wondered what was the best replacement caulk to use. I'll be doing this primarily around the windshield (where it meets the hull in the cockpit) as well as on the cockpit floor perimeter (where it meets up with the stern of the boat). Any...

    Put in Bay

    Anyone headed to the Bay this weekend? We will be there Friday to Sunday, staying at Miller Marina. We should be right on the dock outside the Harbormaster's office. Look us up if you plan to come out. Weather looks great! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Where can I get a good price on Vitrifrigo?

    Well, the Norcold on my 410 DA took a crap. Any ideas on where to get a Vitrifrigo for a good price? I'm on Lake Erie in Ohio if that helps... Could also buy from a dealer in Michigan.

    Steering Wheel Installed

    Finally got around to getting my new wheel installed at the helm. I'm very happy with this update. I am going to switch out the gold throttle/shift lever knobs with brushed nickel to match the wheel.

    Catch of a Lifetime

    I had to share this photo with you guys (and gals). I am in Fort Lauderdale with my family before we head out on a Caribbean cruise this week. We did some sport fishing and my 12-year old son reeled in an 8' hammerhead shark! He never caught anything bigger than a walleye before yesterday...

    New Steering Wheel

    Look what Daddy got from UPS today! Bought a new steering wheel to update the one on my '01 410DA. Boat is tucked away for winter but can't wait to install this baby.

    Crappy Way to End Season

    So I lost my port engine yesterday while returning back to my marina from our final cruise of the year. I was heading into the marina channel and saw another boat coming out. I decided to let him have plenty of room so I put the engines in reverse to back put of his way... I gave them a touch...

    Hatch Leaking

    So the hatch in my master head shower stall appears to be leaking. Basically, I am just getting some water dripping down from the screws and an occasional bead of water on the fiberglass trim ring around the hatch. I have a few questions: 1. In which area do I re-seal the hatch--from inside...

    Cockpit Faucet

    So my crappy white plastic cockpit faucet finally bit it. I installed this today and it updated my boat instantly by 5 years!

    Creaky Floor at Engine Hatch

    Recently, when I walk on my engine hatching eat a bad creak. I checked the track for stones, etc that might be caught in there but it is all clean. Any idea what causes this or how to fix it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
