Cummins QSB 380
Hi everyone! J here just moved up from 30 foot sail boat to 2006 40 DA. Excited about my low price low hour (260) Cummins QSB diesels and like new interior. I’ve been detailing the neglected cockpit and deck. It’s getting there. It had new batteries and bottom paint. Now I’m having the oil changed and we 1 found leaky transmission cooler ($300). Hoping for no other major engine Mantainance this season at least. I am also looking for a new aft curtain or may try to bring the original back to life

Now I got to get comfortable motoring this beast. Luckily neighboring slip has the ‘99 version and he said he’d be happy to show me around the systems and go out and tool around.

Looking forward to learning from you guys!
 
sweet boat, and awesome power package. Post some more pics if you have them, good luck!
 
Ummm...pictures? Please. I...need...visual...
 
Welcome aboard. I'm assuming by Bay Area, you mean SF Bay Area? Drop a note on PM if your ever coming by Benicia. Love meeting the guys on CSR that are local. It seems we are rare bears.
Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Photos coming soon I promise. I’m still cleaning her up. Thanks for the link Jim.

I’ve taken 2 maiden voyages around SF bay. It seams I’ll Need to install the isinglass above the windshield due to wind and splash and fix the vacuflush (leaking duck bilge perhaps). Other
than that she runs beautifully. I was amazed how easy it is to maneuver in the marina as a first time twin engine power boater.
 
Great to hear that you're getting out and about. There will always be something on the list to tinker with
