Does anyone have any suggestions for a surveyor in Annapolis?

A friend of mine needs to source two turbochargers for his Cat 3208. Local Cat dealer says they are no longer available. I remember past threads where someone mentioned the OEM manufacturer for the turbos and that they could be sourced from other suppliers. Anyone have an idea where to look?

Yesterday while helping a friend move his newly purchased Hatteras MY south to our home port we experienced an engine fire that ultimately had to be extinguished with the halon system. I am sure we would have ended up in the water watching the boat burn had his 30 year old system failed to...

I have a friend that has made an offer on a Hatteras in the Long Island area and needs to have an engine survey for twin cat 3208 as well as a hull survey. Looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance. Adam

Looking for advice on stops for our cruise up the bay in late June. We will be leaving our dock in Urbanna VA to Solomon’s the first night. From there a quick run to Herrington Harbor South for another night an on to Annapolis for two nights. We will hit St Michaels for two nights but would...

Thought I would pass on a link to this channel. Frankie painted my 400 Sedan Bridge and always has a major project in the works. He details the process from Fiberglass repair to perfect paint jobs. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJdkuQk6m936-evd4aRbf4g

I figured it would be better to start a new thread since Keith has a different motor than I do. Just got back from a week long cruise and had soot on transom after each stop. It was worse when I had in big seas and was unable to cruise above 2200 rpms. I just installed digital Tachs and...

I have a friend with a Meridian that we started today for the first time this season. The exhaust on both engines were not pumping water at all. We confirmed the sea cocks were open, strainers are clean, water is entering strainer when cover is off and impellers look brand new. Are we...

i had a group of friends on the boat for a long cruise at 2400 rpm. After a couple hours the folks ridding in the cabin came to the bridge to tell me that they heard a change in the engine sound. I went down to listen and it did sound like a high pitch whine which I assume are the turbos. This...

I went to start my 8kw westerbeke yesterday at the panel and it would not turn over fast enough to start. Sounded like the battery was not strong enough. Dropped down into the engine room and tried it at the generator itself and it fired right up and ran fine all day. I tried the remote switch...

Just dropped the price on my 340. Here is a link to the add on Yachtworld. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2006/Sea-Ray-340-Sundancer-3157270/Urbanna/VA/United-States?refSource=standard%20listing#.Wr5hwFopChA

I just picked up a 7612xsv for my 400 Sedan Bridge. It still has original electronics from 1998 and the transducers installed appear to be ST 600s. Is there a new transducer that will fit in the ST housing that will allow for more than depth and temperature? I am not an avid fisherman but would...

I just closed on a 400 Sedan Bridge so it is time to put my 340 on the market. Over the two years I have owned the boat I have done numerous upgrades including new custom camper top, new visor and side curtains, new upgraded shafts, new VHF with AIS, new Acme props and new 16,000 BTU Cruiseair...

i have an engine survey scheduled on a 98 400 Sedan Bridge in a couple days. When speaking with the local Cat dealer to set it up the service rep mentioned that the manufacturer is now recommending that the after coolers should be replaced on all motors of this vintage. The maintenance records...

I have had a number of hose clamps break over the last two seasons and have decided to replace all of them on both engines. I have done a little research and it looks like the AWAB 316 stainless clamps may be the way to go. Does anyone else have any other recommendations? Also, has anyone...

I fired up my generator for the first time yesterday and had two issues. The first is that there was a small amount of oil coating the flame aresster which I think could have been residual from winterization. The second issue that really has me concerned is a knocking sound coming from...

I was at the boat today winterizing everything and noticed my generator was displaying the CO 6 code. It seemed to run fine even under load. Does anyone one know what this code is?

I have a 2006 340 with 8.1 horizons. Yesterday I lost my port engine while trying to leave the slip. It was idling fine and as soon as we started to untie it died. It would turn over fine and I confirmed that I was getting spark which led to a fuel issue. This engine has the cool fuel module and...

I have a 2006 340 with twin 8.1s. Today we took a 30 mile cruise to Windmill point for lunch and when I started my Starboard motor for the return trip after about an hour it started right up and died in about a minute. After trying to restart with no success I installed a new IAC and after a...

I was at the boat today (2006 340 SDA) and noticed the bilge pump would not work with the switch on the helm. The float switch works fine. I tried to reset the breaker on the engine room bulkhead put it would not stay in. The only thing I can think of is there is a short somewhere. Anything...
