    Sea Ray Tax Question

    This is the smartest answer. My acct said that it was possible and legal to deduct on a boat but it did send "audit me" flags.

    Any Sea Ray bikers out there?

    I went the same route you are considering several years ago. Started with a Yamaha stratoliner, a large Harley equivalent. Wife didn't like it. So traded for BMW K1200LT, a BMW version of Goldwing. Very nice, very comfortable and a blast to ride. Wife still wouldn't ride with me. And i really...

    33 Express Cruiser for sale in AL - Anyone know who's boat this is?

    It's been 9 years since a storm went thru (Hurricane Ivan - a BIG one, Cat 5) that would cause a mass sinking. Still could have been a one-off trip to the bottom. My prior 300 sundancer had twin 260 HP engines and they were plenty of power

    HI/PS Fault

    My system you have to manually reset the switch directly on the high pressure switch after a hi/ps code ( like a tripped circuit breaker) or it will continue to shut down and throw the fault code even if problem is resolved. On my Mermaid system, three hi/ps trips then requires a system reset on...

    Cruise to Belize

    My 390 with old fashioned diesels at 1000 rpms burn 2.5 gallons total per hour and nets me 8 mph. So a slow trip in a 40 footer with diesels is very doable. I routinely do 300 mile fishing trips in the gulf at 1000 rpm and burn about half my 300 gallon tankage including generator use.

    390 Ec Engine overhauls with increased HP

    Sometimes part of the spark plug tip will break off ( the part you bend when setting the gap). This could then embed into the top of the piston.

    Is It A Mayday?

    I heard the coast guard call out a pan-pan yesterday. The info that followed was for all boaters to be on the lookout for a boat in an unspecified location that reported taking on water with children on board. Perhaps "mayday" is the term used when you are the one in danger and making the...

    Cleaning A/C Cooling Lines

    I used 3/4 inch ID clear hose as it connects to the pumps on one end and then experimented with PVC fittings to find one that fit the other end of the 3/4 hose then go into the engine water supply hose. Actually you connect the flow to the exhaust shower hose where raw water would normally enter...
