Regarding the stiffness of the throttles I had a similar issue and it can be adjusted. There are cables underneath the throttle casing (the casing pops off) which run back to the engines. These cables can be loosened or tightened as needed (check the manual). I am not mechanically inclined so I...

:smt009 that is crazy!!!!.....Thank goodness no one was hurt! Was she drunk? I can't get over backing anything up without looking where your going (and a pristine 420DA is hard to miss). I also am amazed at the number of jurisdictions we all cross over in the Greater Washington DC area...

I appreciate the good information. Couple more questions on the topic. I was running the generator yesterday, would that change the draw factor on the battery? Does the Windlass draw from the AC system when it's on or always DC? It was also very hot yesterday (90's)and probably hotter...

it seems to be working again. It's really frustrating that it trips so easily :smt021

Guys I'm on the hook and can't get the anchor up. I've had issues with the breaker (the one in the engine compartment) tripping but that doesn't seem to be the cause this time. Where is the breaker up in the bow? Also I seem to have plenty of room in the locker. Could heat be a factor?

Guess i was in denial. Based on this definition I must be addicted too. :smt038

Business Financial Advisor for a large financial services firm. I agree that this group is :thumbsup: :smt038 great

crab pots....especially in the channel

I bought a "Certified Used Boat" and have been very pleased with the service/ attention (and am dock mates with several "new" owners and see no differences so far). I was also asked/encouraged to fill out a survey.

I have the 2004 version of what your looking for and purchased it this season. The generator/lawnmower is a great option as Turtle points out but is awfully noisey. I think the 280da is a great boat and is a very popular part of the SR lineup from what I can tell. TT I suspect the battery...

DEATH PENALTY FOR TWO LONG BEACH MEN FOR MURDERING HUSBAND A DEATH PENALTY FOR TWO LONG BEACH MEN FOR MURDERING HUSBAND AND WIFE ON THEIR NEWPORT BEACH YACHT Not to be an alarmist but when I heard about this case it made me consider buying a gun, though I doubt it would have helped these...

My camera shoots avi files which I can edit with Microsoft Movie Maker but my music (for background like yours) is all in Itunes and Movie Maker won't let me use the files. Is there a free/cheap video editor that will work with AVI files and AAC audio files?

Nice job TT! I've been looking at putting the grill in the same place. Do you like it there? I'm probably going to buy one this week.

I think we're on the same trajectory TurtleTone. We just got the 280 as well (and love her of course) and I've already caught myself staring at the 39/40 Motor Yachts around us. My wife thinks I'm a freak "everyone get's 4 footitis, but no, my guy has to get 12 foot itis! :smt043 a...

Brent, When you calculate your mortgage keep in mind that investment properties (rentals) typically pay higher interest rates than your primary residence. Also you may want to think about talking to your tax advisor. You can right off all the interest, management, cleaning (on Sch E) and...

The battery controls are located where you put in your ignition keys. There are two dials (at least on my twin engine version), the left one designates 1, 2 or Both (batteries that you want connected) and the other engages the battery you select. If you do a search in the forum for...

As a pastey white guy of Irish decent, I only get two choices: Glowing white, or Lobster red. One comes with pain so I try and play Casper the Ghost on our dock. Seriously though, I've always hated the feel of the lotion. It never seems to rub in and even when it does it feels oily. I've...

:smt089 okay I have the baskets too. I like them but they came equipped along with two kinds of hanging gizmos. One is a rail clip/grabber and the other is a velcro contraption. Both made it through the crazy winds from the "Big Storm" without a problem. I did break one of the clips and...

Thanks everyone! :smt001 So if I have my drives are all the way up, I should subtract 1.5 ft from the reading? So at 2.3 ft I had 1.8 ft of clearance left? Or is 1.5 ft assuming the drives are down? I'll get this eventually :smt021 I had a known sand/mud bottom so no potential for...
