Good day to the group. I was able to have a buddy drive while I did some "drone-ography" yesterday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed and they will bite back at your finger tips when the spring clips clear the headliner. Soon after acquiring my 400DB I changed 32 bulbs to leds like 2-3 bucks a bulb on Amazon. Huge difference in amp draw. Main salon was over 8 amps (9 bulbs) now barely one amp. Sent from my iPhone...

Is this the same area as the compartment below the galley floor? I previously did an A/C flush and popped a line off the main A/C unit which resulted soaked floor where I keep my extra oversized galley items. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recall seeing a port through the main cabin floor located in the floor of the starboard settee under cushions in my boat. Have not looked for port side access. Not sure if this leads to sending unit, I just know it is atop the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I created custom SS brackets for the upper attachment point. The key design criteria was that the davits could still rotate for full use of the swim platform and they were low enough on the transom to not interfere with the standard canvas when in use and buttoned down. This resulted in the the...

Let's try this again... Downsized the size of image. Thought I would share my davit install with my fellow members. Regards, Stephen

Good day all, Had a good day on the water yesterday after finishing a project. Thought I would share a pic of recent dinghy davit install I did in the event anyone is considering such addition to their 400 DB. Regards, Stephen

I too have soft wood from years of rain water entering the space. Living aboard I have watched the water and have experimented with redirecting it. I find while some comes from my rod holders most comes from the third step and runs from gunwale to inside edge and runs down in to the...

Dave, I am looking to replace my dead norcold in immediate future. I am a liveaboard on my 400DB, how is the sound level and overall performance of the new fridge? How about direct fit? Any special needs in getting it in/out of the boat? Thank you, Stephen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks and during your use of this switch, a momentary push initiates the preheat for approx 45 seconds (then times out), during the blinking (preheat) phase your pressing of the switch you control the starter motor duration, then for shut down.... is it a momentary or continuous pressing of the...

To those with the cat / westerbeke combination. I replaced my gen-set control module due to the generator starting itself un-commanded and when I wasn't near the vessel. Question - in normal operation how do you shut your generator down? Does the single momentary switch on main panel shut it...

Update - reviewed my engine surveys they were marked 350hp, I called Ring Power Cat they confirmed via serial number that engines were shipped from factory as 350 hp. I have no run-ability issues with the motors. Quite the contrary. They continue to start flawlessly, run smoke free and...

I have searched forum and Internet for various data points in rpm vs speed still not seeing many and with any consistency. I acquired my '98 400 DB with cat 3116s six months ago and am a full time liveaboard. I have gotten out many times now and have yet to see 20kts cruise speed in gps...

Hi All, I was wondering what the trick is to removing the upholstered portions of the master stateroom so that I can recover them? Also, this 1998 DB vessel is still new to me, I have the cross bars for second stateroom but cannot locate or do not recognize what hard surface is used to bridge...

Thank you - so the key signal is that I get a lock to lock steering feel. If there were insufficient fluid or air I would have the ability to continue Turing the wheel beyond the standard 8 turns in one direction or the other. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello owners, I have recently acquired a 1998 400DB and am making my way through the various systems. My first question to this forum is about the Teleflex Hydraulic Steering. What is the best/proper method for purging or ensuring I have adequate fluid level? Thank you,
