We are side tied with our friend Matt for the holiday weekend. I snapped a picture of his helm. Lots of updates and he replaced the simulated wood panels with carbon fiber.
Matt’s 2000:

My 450EB is in Ft. Meyers, so zero winter prep. My 25' Sorrento is under marina dock roof in a lake in GA. I use an Xtreme electric bilge heater for Dec-Mar and do not winterize the engine. It kicks on at 40°, shuts off at 50°. It plugs into a boat outlet, shore power hooked up. I also check on her every 2-3 weeks and run the engine up to temperature, 10-15 minutes duration. During freezes, I'll check to be sure the heater is operating besides merely visualizing the on-light that denotes power. Batteries remain onboard, water tank empty, porta-potti removed, and cockpit surround installed.

I love the Spotted cow!
 
Ok this past week-end I could not shift the Starboard transmission forward or reverse..
Had the Marina look at it today and it was a bad solenoid, on the ZF280 transmission (Fly by wire) the PO had a spare on board, so I'm up and moving again.. I just ordered another spare. Part# 6306012

Can you post a picture of the solenoid?
 
A couple of new 450s have hit the market. First up is from New York:
https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2002-sea-ray-450-express-bridge-8461589/
Low hours with just over 600 and priced well at 229K.
The boat does not have a USCG number, but has a NY state registration. I has able to find the HIN# on the broker's website to add to the first page of the thread. The boat's name is "H2OFRO" with an HIN # of SERP5422H102

I also got the HIN number to add to the registry on the first page. HIN: SERP5661G203
Lots of nice features on this boat. This header above the slider sure is unique. It looks like a piece of isinglass.

Hi All,

Been a bit, got side swiped with my new job.

Just got the seats and seat back from the shop today. Been on the list since April.

Need to pressure wash carpets (third time this season).

Looks great Kevin!
I have changed out the rubber feet on those seats a few times now. It’s wild how they crack and come apart so quickly. The only time they are exposed to the elements is when we are using the boat. Most of the time the seats are folded flat and covered. Just another wear item to deal with. ;)

When it gets cooler, the guy who did the seats is coming and going to get a new set of covers. Don't have any for the cockpit, also going to update helm, windlass and I want the one that goes over the bow walk way. My pool noodle is helping, but not good enough. Why Sea Ray didn't just slope that forward a few degrees is beyond me. :confused:
