My '04 280 is equipped with a Raymarine 215 VHF radio. This unit has a seperate microphone and cradle that is mounted below and left of the steering wheel. My cradle is broken and I have tried several times to repair it but it never lasts. Raymarine has discontinued this item and I cannot find a...

I had a problem over the weekend while on the hook in Newprt R.I. All was O.K. until it was time to leave. The windlass was struggling, reason being that I had picked up an old abandoned mooring line in the harbor. At one point the windlass just stopped working completely. Wouldn't go up or...

I recently purchased an '04 280DA. The first time I used the stereo I found that the cockpit speakers do not work. There is some sound coming through but it almost sounds like they are 80% muted. Could all of the tweaters be blown? The boat had one owner, a couple in their 60's so I don't think...

I just traded my '05 270 Amberjack for an '04 280 Sundancer. The main reason is that I don't fish as much as I thought and I overnight more than I thought, thus I needed an aft cabin. The 280 has twin 4.3's, 75 hours, Raymarine C80 with radar and a warranty until 2011 and is like new. I know...

I have had my '05 270AJ for about a year now. I love the boat but we are doing more overnights than anticipated. We use the boat primarily for day trips but when we overnight we want a little more room, comfort, and an aft cabin. The V-berth on the Amberjack is marginal at best for my wife and I...

This winter I want to add a windlass to my boat. I already have the hawse pipe option and I see that there is wiring already run to where the windlass would mount. I believe that Sea Ray uses a Lofrans Marlin but someone told me that this unit may not be that durable. Can anyone recommend a...

While I know that bottom painting is a spring time activity in the northeast it is very much on my mind as my boat has suffered greatly from having a dirty bottom. My boat is an '05 Amberjack with a 6.2L Horizon, Bravo III. This is my first season with the boat and in the beginning of the...

I recently purchased an '05 27 Amberjack with a dark blue hull. Well while docking on a windy day I managed to put a nice scratch on the hull about 18" long. It is down to the white gell coat beneath the dark blue. Any suggestions on the best way to at least hide the scratch until I can get it...

Over the winter I purchased an '05 270AJ with 30 hours on it that was a bank repo. Due to the time of year I was not able to sea trial the boat but the deal that I got was incredible and after all, it is a Sea Ray so I had confidence that it would perform. Well yesterday was D day and I was...

The 270AJ that I recently purchased does not have a transom shower. I run strictly in salt water so it is a much used feature. I contacted Heater Craft who provides the showers to Sea Ray and received great service. Has anyone ever installed on of these in a similar boat? Are the plumbing...

Hello, I am brand new to this forum but I have already picked up a lot of great information. I live in R.I. and I just purchased a 2005, 270 Amberjack which is my second Sea Ray. I know that the 270 AJ shares the same hull as the 260DA but is also unique in many ways. I would love to hear about...
