    Any 270sdx or 290sdx owners with windlass - pictures needed

    @paulswagelock Here's a bunch of photos of my Sea Ray factory installation. Note the paracord I added to keep the hatch from opening too far. Simple, but gets the job done. Still working on the fix for the tangled rode. Will update if I ever get around to it.

    Any 270sdx or 290sdx owners with windlass - pictures needed

    Here's what I have to show right now. I can take some more photos next time I'm at my marina - especially the inside of the locker. Hopefully next weekend, weather permitting. Any other specifics or measurements you need - let me know, happy to help. This is a 2019 SDX 270. A couple things to...

    Fuel Vent Water Intrusion

    Has anyone else had issues with water entering their fuel vent and clogging the line? I have a new 2019 SDX 270 and suddenly I wasn't able to pump gas into the tank. I'd recently navigated some rough seas and seems like I took on some water in my fuel vent line that filled up the carbon...

    270 Sundeck Thread - Questions & Answers

    I've noticed water pooling on my cockpit canvas on my 2019 SDX 270 after it rains. I cannot seem to keep the canvas taught enough to flatten out the valleys where the water pools. I've tried really ratcheting the pulley tight and I've tried it a bit looser too. Still valleys. The two internal...

    Wow, you did it! Do you know the height of your letters by chance? Does the canvas cover it up?

    Buying a SDX 270 in NYC

    To close the loop here, I ended up getting a 2019 SDX 270 with the 350 HP I/O. Got a great deal on it and can't wait to get her in the water. Thank you all for your suggestions and help.

    270 Sundeck Thread - Questions & Answers

    Howdy! Proud new owner of a 2019 SDX 270. Where the hell are you guys applying vinyl lettering to this boat? I want to display her name, but the transom is so tiny! Would love to see what others have done.

    Buying a SDX 270 in NYC

    I'm basing this on the "build my searay" tool: https://buildmy.searay.com/build/SDX270 Section 4: Propulsion shows a $7,154 difference between the 300 & 350 options. If you click the "i" it lists all the specs. It's weird that the specs are literally identical except for HP. Seems wrong that...

    Buying a SDX 270 in NYC

    Appreciate the responses! Personal preference is for the IO. I'm inclined to stick with the 6.2L / 300 HP stock engine, but the sales rep was nudging me toward the 6.2L / 350 HP upgrade. $7k for 50 HP seems steep and there's other ways I'd want to spend my budget. Anyone have the 300 HP engine...

    Buying a SDX 270 in NYC

    Hello, First post here! NYC-resident, planning to purchase a SDX270 in the next couple months. It's my first boat purchase. My family has always owned a couple Searays (185 & 390) that I've been using my whole life, so I'm pretty familiar with what I'm signing up for. This has been a goal of...
