I replaced it and it was a real pain! Access is through the port speaker and vinyl headliner that pulls down. Sea Ray sent me the process in an illustrated PDF file. If you would like me to e-mail it, please PM me.

When the Blackstick is together and in the holder, the top of the stick to the front of the holder is 58". The total Blackstick length when together is 66.5". There is an eye on top of the stick for the line that is not included in that overall length.
Hope this helps. That shade was one of...
I had the yard do it, was not an issue according to them. I have the 90 degree rod holders forward (for the grill), and the 45 degree aft for the sun fly poles. I highly recommend the blacksticks- light weight, strong, but can also flex in the breeze. Easy to store as they pull apart.
Glad you made it into some of my favorite cruising grounds, the Exumas! I usually spend a couple weeks or more there a year. No picture could really do the water clarity justice!
Next up, head over to Eleuthera- Spanish Wells is great, but I really love Valentines on Harbour Island. Awesome...
Spend only one night at Atlantis, then go on to Staniel. Work your way North, maybe spend a night on a mooring ball in Exuma Land and Sea Park like Warderick Wells. End with Highborne, then start working your way back...fuel in Nassau, then stay at Chubb. Bimini again the final night, then cross...
Great shots. I was there with my 28 bowrider, fun time until a guy in a 34 Formula snagged my bow anchor... I then headed out to Egmont where it was more relaxing.
That red boat is the 2011 80' NorTech Roadster "Lady Lisa". I saw it this weekend in St. Pete- It is for sale for $3.5 million

Thank for the message Griff. I have some services being done now (generator shield replacement/ engine maintenance) so I am out of pocket for the next few weeks. I'll let you know when back up and running and maybe we can meet up on the water. Thanks, Brian
Sea Ray Eddie- Welcome to CSR.
I have been to West End many times, and although it is a great place, it might getting very boring if you are planning to stay for more than a couple of days. You may want to break it up and head over to Port Lucaya for a few of days as well. Even better would...
I am from St. Pete, but move my boat to Ft. Lauderdale each May and bring it back in early August. Having it there allows multiple trips to the Bahamas and Keys. Going 24 knots, Bimini is only 2 1/2 hours or so from Port Everglades. I burn about 38 gallons per hour total.
Bimini is not the "real" Bahamas like Eleuthera, Exumas or Abacos, but it is a great spot for a quick weekend from South Florida. I go 4 or 5 times a summer and would be interested in a group trip. Here is my boat "Power Play" at Big Game in July.
