    Engine Thump / Knock

    Thursday morning we were cruising out to Block Island from CT, all was good until about 3 hours in I heard a noise from my port engine. Immediately idled down and shut the engine off to check it out. No change in performance, RPM, oil pressure, temps, anything just the noise. It’s a thumping...

    Big steering pin concern

    Hey guys, new to the forum and the Sea Ray world. I bought my 99 280 Sunsport cuddy last month and I found something today while winterizing that has me concerned.
