Glad to be here (finally a Sea Ray Owner)

[Capt Bob F]

Hey all,
Long time boater, first time Sea Ray Owner (just purchased last Saturday). We boat on Erie and dock at Cedar Point Marina, Sandusky, Ohio.

I'm kind of a hands on guy as far as maintenance is concerned but must admit, looking in the engine hatch of my 340 is really intimidating. Like, how in the world do you get to the port side batteries? I'm sure this forum will offer much needed advise and feel very fortunate to be part of it. I may have to train a 40 pound monkey to crawl around in the hatch for me.......I'll be reading the manuals all winter!!

Welcome Fellow Buckeye!

Congratulations... I've got cuts and bruises all over my body from lying on the engine and squirming upside down in the engine space... If you are big, it is very hard to reach some things... I am going to try to get to my water pumps which my require me to be a contortionist again...

Congrats and welcome.

Capt Bob,

Welcome! Good to have another buckeye on board. We spend a lot of time at the islands. Hope to see you on the water next year!

Congrats. I too am a new owner, having purchased a 260 last Friday. I also boat on Lake Erie - out of Erie, PA.

Enjoy and good luck!

Thanks all. Emlevins - We cruised to Erie last summer and totally enjoyed the city!
Scott, I must admit I was in the bilge checking it out before the purchase and did get stuck for a few minutes. Hopefully, like you say, I'll learn where to put all my body parts so that I won't have to call 911 have someone get me out.
Rod, good luck with your water pumps. Wish i could be there to watch, I might learn something!
Buckeye boater (GREAT NAME) we'll probably see you at the Islands as we are there frequently! Portside at Kelleys and Crews Nest at Put in Bay (or a ball if they're full)

Don't want to get this off topic so I'll pm you. Curious what you did...
