    Thank you! Yes one has already cracked apart and the other is on its way.

    Helm seat is in! Totally rebuilt with added head and armrests. Companion bench seat is next. Can't say enough about Linda and Quality Marine Upholstery out of Bradenton FL.

    Hi, I haven't posted for awhile but wanted to share some of the latest upgrades to my 95'. New EVA foam flooring is in and upholstery going in the cockpit area now. I went with Sunbrella 4 way stretch material in "Toast" and off white, diamond stitch in the backrests. Aft lounge is done and helm...

    Looks good! My factory coffee maker just stopped working.

    Can either of you post a pic with the new microwave installed? Mine works but its ugly. What did you do with the coffee maker? Find anything to fit there by the steps?

    Sorry if it was already mentioned, but are you replacing it with another microwave or deleting it? If replacing can you share the model of the new unit? TY

    Following up on the compass rebuild topic, Ritchie Navigation was able to determine that my compass is from the Navigator line, though the model number is not legible. They still offer a reconditioning service on this compass for $220. I takes about 5 weeks. The price includes full...

    My guess is port side and center?

    Love a freshly cleaned boat! Here's mine from a couple months ago after a detail.

    Ok, thank you everyone. Mine are sealed and no water coming in so I will let them be until I have some other superficial fiberglass work done and seal them over. Im a design/aesthetics guy and cant stand the way they look now.

    This is how my docking lights look, not ideal! Was thinking of sourcing the stock recessed units if they are available but open to any ideas here? The original holes seem to be intact behind the King Starboard plates they used. Thank you!

    I just got back from a week on the boat. Went to anchor out and the Windlass didn't work for me either, from the dash or at the foot switches. Thanks for posting the wiring diagram, I'll be looking for those fuses as well. I replaced the seized Starboard fuel valve with the Groco 6 port fuel...

    Ahhh, They look good! My timing was not so good as I already bought new dash panels to fit the originals. My FloScans do show the correct RPM's all of the time, but with my OCD, I want everything to work as it should including the original tach's that are intermittently correct.

    I'm interested in seeing the Aetna tach's installed. The images on their website make them look much smaller than my originals? I found a Dometic AC manual to help me set different modes, specifically Humidity Control while I'm away. It's too large a file to attach here, but here is a link to...

    I ordered the Groco 6 port fuel valve Saverio suggested from BoatID. It was also the best price I could find and it will work on our boats, but not an exact replacement. The mounting holes are different but can be fitted with a little imagination. Another thing, my tach's dont work right half...

    Ours use the 1/2" x 3/8". I believe the stem length is 13/16" but will confirm next week.

    Here is what I noted from another discussion on this forum. "The fuel selector valves that Sea Ray has used on most of their boat are made by ANDERSON BRASS COMPANY out of Charlotte, NC. http://www.andersonbrass.com/ https://www.andersonbrass.com/6-way-selector-valves They are still in...

    For the backlighting on the switch panel, I just reattached the stock light strip for now, but I plan to replace them with blue LED. Heading back on the 18th for a week to do the gauge and instrument panels next, and to finally remove the compass and find the model # to see if Ritchie can refurb...

    Progress pics! New bimini tops, undermount davit so the tender sits off of the swim platform, and swapped in the new switch panel from FP Marine. Took about 2 hours, one switch at a time so I didn't mix them up, and everything works! Next up the gauge and electronics panels. For those of you...

    I received an email back from Ritchie Nav this afternoon. They apologized for the delay and explained that they just revamped their service dept and are still catching up on old inquiries. Re sent some pics and am waiting to hear if they can service my particular model. Will report back...
