58 Sedan Bridge Official Thread

I think I know the answer but can someone confirm that the 550DB and the 58DB are the same OAL?

Yes. The 2005 550DB's had mechanical MAN 800 engines with a fixed swim platform and a davit crane. The CRM-900's were an option and many have had their extended fixed platforms cut by Florida Bow Thrusters and added a GHS lift. Those were standard as of 2006 on the 58DBs....

Aaron - are you looking at one?
 
Hey Carter - we’re starting to get the upgrade itch but I’m limited by my 60’ slip which only has about 57 usable feet. I’m afraid the 560DB, 550DB and 58DB will all be too long. I assume all of these are at minimum 60’ with a dinghy hanging off the back?

The only other option is the 52DB but that’s not enough of an upgrade from our 480DB to justify the change. I may need to leave the family…

Aaron - You will just fit in a 60' slip - well maybe with a foot hanging out. The change to a 58 is amazing with the full beam master and larger bridge and salon.

Apparently they're not, exactly. The dimensional drawing I have for a 58 shows OAL as 58' 7" "With Std. Swim Platform" and the illustrated measurement line only extends about halfway out the pictured swim platform... which looks like it's meant to be showing the longer hydraulic lift platform, length exceeding the 58' 7" measurement.

Today's question: the galley freezer has an ice maker, the first couple of weeks we ran it it ran fine, now it makes ice fine but there is a constant drip from the ice maker that makes a really nice block of ice in the tray every couple of days.

Anyone else have this issue or is this another job for the sub zero repair man?

All I can say is we are really enjoying the extra space. We looked hard at the 52's but in the end the space of the 58 is so much nicer.

I have been wondering what the exact LOA is, my plan is to find a nice cold winter day when no one at the yard is around and measure it from the ground with a plum bob. My current dock is rated for 75' so it really doesn't matter, but we may move and I would rather know before we have an issue.

Easy and cheap to replace. We had the same issue. They make after market ice makers for the freezer. It only takes about 15 minutes to R&R.

Great resource, for all appliance parts no doubt, (been using them for ever) but think of your water supply to the units as you would the water supply to your hvac systems. Fouled inlet solenoid/valves will F your diag. and possibly lead to a replacement of a serviceable unit.

I lost the SubZero freezer compressor - I was in the last month of the 12 yr parts and labor warranty. No drips till then...

Scott, when I replaced the Sub Zero Ice maker I also replaced the inlet valve. I had the dripping issue prior to the no ice making issue. Replaced the valve and the ice maker and all was good after that.

2006 and later 58DB's are nominally 61' LOA. Mine measured out slightly more than that at 61'5". With my dinghy on the platform I was probably closer to 63'.

Thanks Brian and Ken,

Two more entries in my 58DB "brain book"!!
 
Have any of you installed an inverter to run the fridges and freezer's and other light 110v loads? We're on our fifth straight day on a mooring, and today is the first day it hasn't been super hot so first time we could even think of turning off the generator, but that means no fridge/freezer. I'm sure they would be fine for a couple of hours if we don't open them, but not really practical except at night, and at night we would need fans for sure to get air circulation.

I'm not even sure where we could fit one, nevermind figuring out how to get enough battery capacity to run it for any length of time.

I don't really like running a genset overnight... so I was intending to get around to posting the same question. Mostly about where -- inverter itself, and maybe additional batteries -- if someone has already led the way.

We used an inverter in the past to make morning coffee, afternoon happy hour hors d'oeuvres, too...

-Chris
 
@swaterhouse @ranger58sb If you give me your loads that you want the inverter to carry I'll be happy to run the numbers for both batteries and inverter sizing for you. I'll need the amps or watts each device draws and their duty cycle. Duty cycle is how long each is running in a 10 hour sleep period. For example your freezer will cycle on six times for twenty minutes each in ten hours and/or the coffee pot will be on two hours in the 10 hour period. The freezer then has a 20% duty cycle and coffee pot also has a 20% duty cycle....
