Has anyone removed their Glomex and left it off? Mine is only good for leaking water into the arch between caulkings and being a PITA to put the winter cover over. Thinking about removing it and 3D printing some sort of cap to seal the hole.
Looking to replace a burnt out bulb in the galley ceiling on my '04 280DA. Sea Ray part number 1425032. I called the local dealer and was told they can no longer get them. I also contacted a few different online and local vendors with no luck. This is a 110V/25W screw in bulb. Anyone else have...
Had our boat scheduled for haul out and as luck would have it the day before my trim quit working on both outdrives. ('04 twin 4.3 bravo II) I get nothing from either the throttle mounted switches or the trailer switch. I checked both in line fuses and they were good as well as the breaker for...
I placed an ad in the local paper to sell a piano for $400. The first day I get this phone call from an online service that helps hard of hearing people make phone calls by them typing and the service talks to the person being called. Well, this guy wanted me to send him details of the piano to...
I just finished cleaning my bimini's inside and out. While they are drying on the back deck I got to thinking this would be a good time to give them a new coat of waterproofing spray. I ran out to the local Wal-Mart and they carry a silicone based spray. Not knowing if that stuff is what I want...
We were slipped in a marina 60 miles and 2 locks north from our marina last week. I looked at the radar and decided to try and out run a storm system that was heading our way. Everything was going fine, got to the first lock, radioed ahead and got right through.:smt038 Cruised down to the next...
Here is a link to some pictures of an F5 tornado that hit a town 44 miles north of our hometown last weekend. The wind speed was estimated at 205 mph. Unbelievable destruction...
I was surprised last weekend that our marina was selling gas for only $3.90 a gallon when it was $3.79 on land. Needless to say I topped off the tank in anticipation of it going higher before my next trip. Who ever thought we would be saying "Only $3.90 a gallon" as a good thing??
OK so here's the deal. I ran a 100' extension cord to the 110 shore power adapter last weekend while the boat is on the hard to do some dewinterization. Didn't notice the reverse polarity light on but could have been. We left it plugged in for 2 days while charging the batteries, powering a...
Something I've been meaning to ask. Are the snap on/off port window curtains standard on an '04 280 DA? The '06 240 we traded in last Aug. had them and I have noticed in other member's photos of their 280's that they have them. There are no snaps on ours and there were no curtains that came with...
After one full year on our first cruiser style boat we are hooked and ready to move up.
I hope to close a deal on a '04 280 DA this Saturday if all goes well. We came up with the name "Half Off" due to the price we paid for the 240 after trading in our open bow Glastron. Now that I think...
I am looking for a 6 step bow to beach ladder. I have looked around the Internet with no results for a Wesbar or Fulton brand but apparently they are discontinued.
Has anyone else had the problem of the table not fitting into the opening in the v berth to convert it into a bed? I have a 2006 240DA and the table does not fit, the dealer is going to look into it in the Spring and suggested they might re-cut the sheeting on each side to allow it to lay flush...
