Looks great! What did you use to get it so nice?Cleaned my shower sump for the first time since buying the boat last fall. There are a lot of these little things to catch up on! Apparently the previous owner (or owners) were not overly concerned about these types of things! Pretty gross.

I noticed Sea Ray labelled two of the inlet hoses incorrectly. The two that come from the head floor drains are incorrectly labelled as Galley Sink and Vanity Sink. You'd think that is something they would get right...

Thank you for the insight. Have a good weekend.I used some Simple Green Pro Heavy Duty and a lot of scrubbing and water changes. Not all the stains came out, but it looks pretty good. Shop vac was very handy.
I think if I were to do it again I would let some bilge cleaner soak overnight before starting. I think that will be part of my routine maintenance...leaving some bilge cleaner.
Turns out Kahlenberg sells a $27 connector replacement kit that should take care of my air tank leaks. Must be a common issue. Their support team is great.
Do you have a phone number for them? I too am 6'4" and 240. I only really want to crawl back there one time. I will spend $27 hoping my issue is same and have the kit in hand when I make the trip back there.

I would strongly recommend a Diesel surveyor also if the surveyor hired isn’t a genius with them. I passed on 2 420’s due to engine matters found. My hull surveyor was a genius in his own eyes. Had tons of years and Sea Ray experience. Problem was that he was freaking blind (not literally) I found out.We had a opportunity for a 2004 420DB fall into our lap last week and currently have just put it under contract. It has the Cummins 6CTA engines with about 900hrs. Other major adds are a bow thruster and hydraulic lift (with a 10'6" Walker Bay centre console tender & 30hp engine). I have gone thru most of the thread for guidance on what to look for and saw the posts around 1050 to JoAna and bjturner on their purchases.
Survey is this coming Wed and hopefully the Cummins tech can come on Thursday - open to any additional words of wisdom of what to have checked out.
Question around the sea-trial - is it common for the surveyor to do this? and what 'tests' get performed?
Thanks!

I had a hull surveyor and 2-Cummins Techs for the entire day for our surveys. During the sea trial, the hull surveyor was recording all of the numbers and was very involved with the Techs. They had a computer hooked up to each of my QSC 500s and I got a report of everything you can imagine. The Techs pulled the fluids for the lab analysis from each engine and the gen and those were part of the final report.
I made up my mind to one thing....if the engines did not come apart during the sea trial, they never would as I would never run them that hard! Thus far, in the one year we have owned her, not one surprise....
