Would you happen to have the contact info for DMA and Dave? I tired to google but nothing coming up. I do have the turbo so would like to send it to Dave. Thanks so much!

I am in the process of purchasing a 2003 460DA. Is there a source for the owners manuals online? Sea Ray does not have them on their site.

The 2002 manual gives you most of the facts for 2003. The only differences I am aware of between '02 and '03 is that most (but not all) 2003 models came with the Cummins 480CE motors and 23X27 props. 2002 versions had the mechanical 6CTA motors (unless Volvo or CAT) and 23X26 props. The dash was different to accommodate the ECM's. The interior was changed a bit as Sea Ray started mounting the TV where it should have been, on the wall and not above the refrigerator. A different salon table for '03. Otherwise '03 were pretty much the same as '02 and '01.

Thanks! My 03 still has the TV mounted over the refrigerator. I am going to replace the cockpit carpet soon. The company I am looking at has a template for a 2004. Do you know of the cockpit floor area is the same for an 03 to 04?
 
They all have to be custom templated. There were 2 factories and they are not similar enough to rely on a template.

It’s an old survey and I haven’t seen the boat in person yet. I’ll fly out to spend some time on it, new survey, oil testing, etc once I have made up my mind about this water intrusion issue.

Hi everyone! I had to pass on the one with the water intrusion issue. But flying down to Ft Myers this evening to go sea trial another one that looks like it’s going to be a go. Mew survey done and passed. and settled on price. Just have to see it in person to close the deal. I’m excited to officially join this thread!

So a random question, anyone know where to buy the matching captains chair? The previous owner changed to a high back style that I’d like to covert back...
OR, crazy as this sounds, what do you think about trying to extend the bench across the captains seat for a longer bench? Anyone done so?
 
Hopefully this one works out! The captains chairs come available a couple times a year on this forum and probably on eBay as well. Have you asked the current owner if he still has it?

Personally I would want a captains chair instead of the bench. Also there are some awesome branded chairs available that are much nicer. Check out stidd

I run my boat a lot. I usually stay at anchor or moorings on the weekends so I am always using the house batteries. The boat is at the dock hooked up to power all week. I have flooded batteries and I usually get 4 years them. I don't know how much more I would get from AGM's. I have never had them.

Nice look. Curious how you wired them? Separate amp/channel for volume? Any issues with

Finally received the JL 880 Tower LED speakers and got them installed yesterday. Happy Mother's Day to me!!! (Luckily the Admiral was in favor of this addition LOL)
The pictures are a little skewed as I had to re-size them so they would upload in the right direction. The weather may LOOK nice yesterday but it was only 44° and blowing from the north off a chilly 47° lake Michigan. BRRRRRRRR

I did ask. Seller said it was too much to repair so he tossed it. I’ll keep looking... Thanks!
 
Replaced all of my bilge lights finally with LED's. HUGE difference in terms of how bright it is in there and how much less heat. I suspect it also draws less power. Win-Win-Win!
 
Hi Folks. I have a somewhat stupid question to ask. If I de-energize the batteries on the boat, will the bilge pump still work? I'm asking because the boat is still in the water and will stay there this winter and I didn't know if I should keep the batteries energized and if there is any harm in doing so. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
Define de-energize? Yes they need to be connected and charging. They run the pumps… but you can shut off the battery switches.

min the cabin it has de-energize buttons which I think is the same as shutting off battery switch

Correct, you can shut those off and the pumps are still connected.
