    Flame arrestor - okay to flush engine without it?

    Super easy question, I see no issue running the engine without the flame arrestors, I need to take them home tonight, they are awful. My mechanic is having surgery, and I am at a restaurant tonight, but will be back at the boat in 3 hours. Once I get back to the marina, I want to remove the...

    Will my boat take on water?

    I left the boat last time after doing partial generator maintenance. I have a 320, Vdrive, stored in a dry storage rack. Generator is a Kohler 5ECD. I removed the vertical hose just below the heat exchanger on the front, I’m 99% certain this is raw water input to the heat exchanger, before this...

    Rubrail and silicone question

    So, recently had the boat painted, rubrail down, and one thing they had to spend extra time on was the removal of silicone caulk between the underside of the rubrail and the gelcoat. Since that area is getting painted, they needed to remove the silicone. Is there a need for this silicone? The...

    SC5000 corrected display

    My SC5000 display was pretty much unreadable, and even though I have the data on my phone now, I decided to go ahead and update the LCD. Below is the before and after pic sent by GaugeSaver.com

    Prop size difference LH vs RH

    On my 320, I had a ding in one prop, so had them both reconditioned (hired someone to remove, take to prop shop, then reinstall). He asked the question why they were different sizes (18x18.5 and 18x19). I believe he works on mostly larger boats, typically he dives. I have no idea, that’s just...

    Diagnose leak in Head System

    I have a VacuFlush head system on my 07 320, the pump would run constantly since the midway part of my last trip, so I purchased new duckbills and bellows and o-rings. Replaced all, and initially, same issue, but realized I missed an o-ring, fixed that, and now it builds up a vacuum, but then...

    New high speed fuel pump at my marina (60gpm)

    So marina just out emailed about new high speed fuel pumps, gas and diesel at up to 60gpm. Read an article on the internet about this, and the quote I found was this: “A vessel’s ability to receive high speed fueling through its fill pipe is limited by the boat’s vent size. Air has to be capable...

    Install strainer intake cover on hull

    I have purchased one of these Groco intake strainers (RSC-1000). The idea is you cover the through hull and it prevents some amount of debris from entering into the strainer. The AC, and engines both have scoop intakes with grates and I have never gotten any debris in the ac or engines...

    Installing new Vent Covers

    I’m installing and reinstalling the vent covers, see image below. I lost one, got a replacement, removed the other one, and have them at a body shop getting painted to match. Now, how do I install? Should I use anything like 4200 to ensure they stay put this time, should I just use clear...

    Run Bilge Blowers continuously?

    I’ve always run the bilge blowers prior to cranking (gas engines), but once I’m underway, even at idle, I turn them off. Sea Ray recommends (per owners manual) that since it is hard to remember to turn them on each time you slow down, to simply run the blowers constantly. At speed, the manual...

    Missing vent cover! 320 Sundancer 07

    I have an 07 320 sundancer, any thought on replacing the vent cover in the image? I believe is is for the vent fan in the galley/head. Must have lost it on my 70 mile trek 3 weeks ago going from St Pete to Englewood, FL. And any ideas on what to do in the interim? It’s going to rain tonight...

    Don Pedro Island, FL

    Some video of a cruise we took to Don Pedro, first time posting video, so hope this works. One is dolphins in the bow wake aboard a 44 Aquila, the other is the return trip from Stump Pass to St Pete, the Gulf was smooth as glass. What a great trip...let me know if these don’t work!

    Kohler 5ecd EC62

    So, received this error today doing a pre-trip test, EC62, kohler 5ECD, 2007ish. I believe it indicates water pressure issue. I checked and there was a ton of debris in the basket, emptied that out, opened the sea cock, cranked it up, more water coming out of the exhaust, looked good. Turned on...

    Stumps Pass FL Local knowledge

    I will be heading to Don Pedro island in a few weeks from St. Petersburg FL, and it looks like I can get in at Stump’s Pass. I have a draft of < 3’, and I think it will be high tide when I get there. Anyone with local knowledge agree with that, or should I get inside earlier than Stump’s pass...

    Anyone watching Ozark on Netflix?

    Just started watching season 3 last night, part of what I like about the show are the clips of boats running around. This is not a spoiler, but the main character goes to work by boat now, and he drives a nice Sea Ray Sundeck, 20’-ish, did not catch the exact model.
