Hi All,
Yup, another newbie here. I have lurked around on this site long enough and decided it was time.
Bought my first boat last July. A 2005 Sea Ray 300 with 5.0s. Had the boat shipped from a lake in Idaho then had closed cooling installed prior to a dip in Puget Sound. Nice boat overall. I was told that I would be able to steer the stern drives at low speed but that was my first lesson learned. Maybe above 2-3 knots but any slower and no go. Then I discovered the magic of throttle steering. Takes a lot of practice but man is that a treat.......plus it gets the heart rate up!
Anyway, I look forward to chatting and learning any tips or tricks you wish to share. If anybody would like to share their experience with Hurley davits and inflatables on a 300, I am ALL ears. I guess eyes actually.:grin:
