    Wipers?

    Just measure the length of the wiper blade and then go to your local auto parts store and pick up the appropriate length replacement blades. Then unscrew the screw at the pivot point in the center of the old blades and screw in the new blade. There will probably be a holder or bracket with the...

    2007 38DA Strbd battery switch issue

    Do you also have battery switches in the engine compartment and do those work? My guess is it is actually the switch on the electrical panel. I had to replace both of mine on a previous boat due to not turning off the batteries unless I pressed them numerous times. The battery switches in the...

    Gauges....................source ?

    Try your local (or nearest) Sea Ray dealer. I needed a 'legend' fuel gauge for a 2000 vintage Sea Ray. Flounder Pounder said they were back ordered. I called my local Sea Ray dealer and he had the gauge for me within a week and the price was a few dollars less than FP had listed.

    Empty drive lube tank on 2013 mercruiser

    The hose barb for the hose between the transom and outdrive for the lube monitor. $13 part. Getting to it to replace it is a witch.

    Vapor lock?

    There is a check valve in the fuel system that keeps the fuel rail under pressure so it can't vapor lock. It may be part of the regulator, either the one on the cool-fool module which I assume you replaced or there is one on the fuel rail. This check valve should keep the fuel under pressure...

    food rationing???

    Well, I finally lost it... At Walmart I saw a young man whose cart was FULL to the brim with hand sanitizers, toilet paper, paper towels, baby wipes, everything that people need! I called him a selfish jerk, and told him to leave some for the sick, the elderly, and people who really need these...

    food rationing???

    Texas is huge. What is absurd is that someone would bash the whole state for the actions of a few in their little corner of it.

    Also, at the helm near the starting switch is an emergency start which combines both banks for emergency starting power.

    Battery Baffled!

    "...then the Starboard Bank should have two starting batteries for both the engines..." No. The port bank starts the port engine and the stbd bank starts the stbd engine. The port supplies the house loads and the stbd supplies the helm alectronics (gps/radar...) and bow thruster (or visa...

    If you are referring to the fold-down side, then Sea Ray copied Galeon.

    Bilge blowers?

    I also switched to the Jabsco Continuous Duty 4" squirrel-cage blowers and now can hardly hear them plus they move more air than the inline blowers. BUT you must increase the circuit breaker/fuse size. Mine originally had 6 amp breakers and had to be increased to the recommended 15amps...

    correct prop size

    I recently changed from 22.5" pitch to 20" pitch and went from ~4400 RPM to 4800 RPM. Performance increase was noticeable. I went from about ~28mph to 33mph and the acceleration was much better as well. Shoot this question over to a prop shop. Boat Propeller Warehouse gave me excellent advice.

    The Head, To Use Or Not To Use, That Is The Question?

    We use the crap out of ours. There are folks that will only pee in them - they have the stinkiest boats too. Gotta poop if you're going to pee in them as the poop actually helps break down stuff.

    2008 290 Sundancer Macerator Operation

    Well, first off, you posted this in the wrong forum. This kind of holding tank is for political, off-color jokes, and the like. Second, to answer your question, your boat just doesn't have the macerator option installed so the only way to empty the holding tank is to pump out. Also, I...

    Starboard motor died

    I think the clue is the engines was running fine until brought down to idle. That, to me, indicates the alternator was probably charging and that the batteries for that engine are toast. Of course it could be a multitude of other things too. I would have left the generator running after...
