OFFICIAL 390/40 Motor Yacht Thread

That model was discontinued. The replacement model is 121-NR740SS depending which finish you want. That is stainless.
 
The DE0040 is no longer made, I used the NR 0740, the dimensions were the same. One thing I noticed is the DC line is not switched, hot all the time. So, if the shore power quits, assuming the fridge is on, it will switch to DC and over time deplete whichever battery bank is powering it. I turn the fridge off with the control knob inside the fridge when I’m leaving the boat.
 
Has anyone replaced the salon AC unit. If so what did you go with.
 
I would like another hard copy of the Sea Ray 390 Owners Manual (the nice leather looking bound manual that came with the boat). Does anyone have an extra or would like to trade/sell theirs?
 
I am replacing the forward cabin AC/Heating unit. I think our Tech is using a Dometic DCU 18. I will confirm that when it arrives.
The salon ac is a 16000 unit. I ordered the self contained domestic unit.
My front cabin unit is not as big I don’t think.

By the way thank you sir for your service!

Fair. I am a learner.

I assumed all 4 the ACs were the same. The AC in the master was replaced the year before we bought it.
 
The v berth and master state room are the same. The cockpit one is a split system, the compressor is behind the salon TV and the air handler is under the helm seat. I think they are 8000btu and the salon is 16000btu
 
Rob, SO excited for you!! I've had mine for half of a season... made all sorts of mods this winter... was all geared up to move her to the harbor this weekend... and... devastating news when they put her back in the water... Starboard fuel tank leaking on the bottom... non repairable, has to be replaced which is a major, major job. They are pressure testing the port tank to see if it is compromised or not and if not, rig the engines to run off one tank so I can get early season in as I have to order the new tanks to be manufactured. Truly knocked the wind out of me in terms of my plans for the season. I started an insurance claim on a wing and a prayer but my broker says he's not sure if it's covered or not. We will see. Anyhow... they tell me that this is a one in a million thing to have happen. By the time I get this done, the boat will essentially be brand new, which is crazy... because I have fixed or replaced just about everything else back to new or better. Soon as I get my hands on her I will post pics and describe the mods I have done as it is really hard to find concrete info about these boats on the web. Good luck and God's speed on your journey!

Not an isolated incident, mine (previous owner) had the same thing. Had to do with salt water getting in due to a few of the 390s not having the engine room vent properly sealed. Sea Ray did help out. There are ways to save a few bucks, give me a PM.
 
Hello all,

Just registered on the site. I purchased a 2005 390 MY (8.1s) a few weeks ago out of Hampton, Va. Currently, keeping it at Prince William Marina. Loving it! Previous owner is a really awesome guy and kept it in great shape. Looking forward to Covid ending so we can do some boating. The information thus far in this thread has been great! Really appreciate all the great back and forth.

We have enjoyed ours since Sept last year. Hope you and the family enjoy yours.
Welcome!

The boat was named "Irish Brew" and was at the end of H dock for years. I'm currently on G dock and will be changing the name to "Coming in Hot!!!".

Just a side question for you Angle - what is your ideal RPM / cruise speed? I haven't had enough time with it to really get the best feel for it. I think it is either going 10 knots burning around 10-12 gph or 23 knots burning around 50 gph.
 
So, does anyone know what size the toilet seats are in the heads? The one next to the galley has snapped off. Trying to find the right size and color (biscuit, almond?) so I can order from Home Depot.

We are very new to boating and this boat ourselves. Myself, I prefer to find the minimum rpms to stay on plane for the sea state. The Admiral likes to cruise at about 11-13 mph, which translates to about 10 gph/engine (20GPH). Up on plane, about 16-18 mph we start to see 17-19 gph/ engine. Recently there has been a lot of debris in the Potomac and that has a big influence on my cruising speed.

I think there are at least 4 MY390's at PWM. There might even be one more added recently. I wonder if there are any marina's with more than that?

what rpm’s are you running at those speeds?
