I plan to get the engine hours this weekend, I want to make sure I remember them correctly.
Boat is clean and kept in Tennessee on Kentucky lake (TN River). I bought it at Kentucky Dam 5 years ago with the intention of My wife and I traveling in it. I have gone through the boat adjusting and...
I appreciate the thought, she and I have been thinking all winter about it. I think it is time to let it go. Please tell your friends. Not listed yet, waiting for warm weather to wash and take pictures.
If anyone knows a person looking for a 1997, 400 Sedan Bridge with cat 3116s, new zincs, props trued, recent bottom job, new port transmission and synthetic hardwood floor in the galley, salon and dinette and GPS send them to me. I am about to list mine.
My wife is no longer able to travel...
My Raypilot 650 just started refusing to turn to starboard. Turns to port great. To make it more interesting the issue is intermittent. Sometimes works fine, 5 minutes later no turn to starboard. I go to standby and the steering wheel works fine. Any thoughts out there?
just looking at options since she is not very comfortable with cruising anymore. As you can see from the picture, I like the sides removed in the summer. Real pain to replace though.
Thanks for that and, yes, I wasn't very specific was I. Maybe it's because I can't make up my mind on selling or keeping, I really like the boat. It is a 1997 with cat 3116s boat is very clean and has a dry, clean engine room. everything works except the chart plotter and radar but with the...
I am considering selling my 400 DB. Diesels are around 1160 hours each with new transmission on port side and new bottom job, new zincs as well. Just did a 4-day trip up to Kentucky Dam and it ran great. My wife had a stroke a year and a half ago and doesn't really enjoy the boat anymore not...
On the DB 400 the E Start switch for inconnecting the batteries to starts the Cats is on the bridge and the start button for the genset is in the electrical panel in the salon so unless your arms are really really long there is no way to push both at the same time. I agree the E Start does not...
Ok, as always when I get on this site with an issue, I learn something. I agree the load test is the only way to really understand weather a bwattery is good or bad.
What I didn't know is that the E Start switch would also connect the generator. Bill Collector, did I understand that...
Thanks KM1125, I just got back from the marina, I had the battery on a handheld automotive charger over night and I disconnected it as it said the battery is fully charged. I checked the voltage of the battery with no charger or load and it read 12.8 volts. I reset the yellow lever on the...
Wow, thanks so much for all of the input from everyone, very informative. As it turns out, there is a thermal fuse on the cable from the charger to the generator battery. see picture below. I couldn't get my glasses and old eyes down there to see it but taking the picture answered all of the...
I have a 1997 DB 400 with Westerbeake Genset. The battery keeps discharging while at dock. Boat is plugged in to shore power which shows operational on both legs. Battery Maintainer is on and maintaining the main batteries, no problem.
Mounted on a 2 x 4 post behind the Genset battery is a...
