Thanks.
Ha, yep, first 2400 hrs never happened. LOL
Guess I’ll just keep the old tachs so that we can put 12volts to it to verify the hours for the next guy, if that ever happens.

 

They DO look good. I think I have the same panel, so this is a slick upgrade.

 

I replaced my tachometers last week with Atena tachometers I like the way they work and as noted they were easy to install

 

Mark, so specifically did you buy part number 8905R-P-H-DS? Did you buy them direct from Aetna or an online reseller?

 

Yes, with the couch removed, you will get full swing in the port side hatch. Its only a few screws that hold the framing

 

Thank you for the help! I checked the caulk over the weekend and, visually, it appears pretty solid for the amount of water working its way in. How do you access the port air box? I am not sure how deep it goes, but it doesn't appear to be visible from either the bilge or the cabinet holding the central vac.

 

You won't see it there, it migrates underneath.

I don't have the icemaker and use the area under the stairs as storage. You can crawl in there to access it underneath. I used Flex Seal and a brush to seal it up.

BTW, your caulk may look ok, but if it's original it's not. It doesn't take much to get a good leak going.

 

Yes, that’s the number. Nobody had them in stock that I tried, so I called Aetna and they didn’t have them. They gave me some more vendors that they had sent some to recently and still no luck. I called Aetna back and they said they would make me a pair quickly and discount them to a good price that I could get online. They asked me what flywheel I have and preset the dip switches (not a big deal but nice of them) sent them out in 3 days.

 

It is more expensive to buy

It more expensive to buy the tachometers from Atena I bought mine from Common Ground they had the best price

 

Yes, you are right, Aetna is more, but because no one had the stainless bezel in stock, they offered to sell them to me direct at a discount comparable to a good vendor price.

 

Capt Ronn, did you do the stbd side as well? If so, how is it accessed?

 

Just curiosity, what kind of boat you like to upgrade your beautiful Sea Ray 400 Sedan Bridge?. We are a couple so for us now is the perfect size, until my 2 daughters bring grand kinds then will see.

Good luck on your upgrade.

 

Harder to access, but you can through the compartment on the starboard side cockpit.

 

Bill, do know of anybody taking their engine hatches off or how?

 

Mark, great job, where did you get the Aetnas? Do you have the part number and contact information?
Thank You

 

Ref: port gasket part number

Do you have the gasket part number? And where did you buy it?
I’d like to do the same job
Thank you

Couches removed to re-upholster last year. I would think that you could get some pretty decent swing with the lift supports removed. Disregard the goofball wiring job on the starboard side.... Was a previous owner's wiring job to get an inverter and sound from the tv to the master stateroom, and stereo cabinet. The use of a home depot extension cord was a nice touch. There are quite a few screws holding the starboard couch in place as you can see loose in the photo.

 

Bought it Marine Max. It came with the screen insert. Part # MM506405 $46.99

Hi all, I have a thru hull with a wheel in the center. Is this just for speed or depth and speed? I have a second transducer on the port side. I want to take out the paddle wheel and install a B 60 Garmin unit in preparation for changing the electronics this summer. How difficult is it to remove this and install the new one. Thanks, Greg
