Any ideas on this? Has to be an old repair job? I thought so too but it feels smooth to the touch and no other areas of concern. Pretty well cared for boat but this area has me stumped.

Looking to add a basic chartplotter w/internal GPS to my boat. The 9" models will fit with the included mounting bracket. My question is which Echomap model to get? The 93sv or the 94sv? Not concerned with the processing or transducer options but rather I want to make sure the included...

Odd thing going on the past few times I've used the Onan diesel generator. Runs perfectly, puts out power, generally no issues except when starting. Not really having issues starting, but rather the starter doesn't seem to stay engaged long enough to get it to start. I have to let go of the...

Maybe it's the wintertime blues setting in already but for a long time I've always been intrigued by the go fast boats. So much so that I'm actually thinking buying an entry level go fast. Lots of 27 Fountains are out there and the 29 is a better boat but significantly more expense. Am I...

My buddy just cooked his 11kw westerbeke generator in an 87 Ocean Yachts. Any idea where to find a used generator? They are saying it would be a lot easier to pull and replace rather than to repair the current genset.

I swear this boat has been listed for sale for a few years now and with different brokers. Anyone know this boat? Won’t let me upload the pic so I’ll paste the ad. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2004-sea-ray-420-sedan-bridge-8347370/

Is this a simple as tightening the bolt at the bottom? The air conditioning pump has a decent leak and I’m wondering if I need a new pump, gasket, tighten a bolt? Or if an internal part is shot, etc.

For those with 50/52 DA and QSM11 engines. Anyone running 28x30 props? About to order new props and really tempted to go 28x31 but I think that’ll be a bit much. I know for a fact that 28x33 is still way too much prop. Slightly worried 28x30 might be removing too much. Thanks.

Trying to find a used set of props rather than drop $11,000 for new ones. You all know the story, QSM11 engines, 2.5" shafts on a 2004 SunDancer. 28x30 or 28x30.5 is the size I need. They can decrease pitch by 2" max so 28x33 is probably the largest pitch size I could take. Adding pitch is...

Any recommendations on where to buy new props? I want to start from scratch and dial this boat in perfectly. Need 28x31 4 blade nibral. Acme, Michigan, other brands? Prices also seem to be all over the place. Thanks.

Buddy is looking at the 42/44 DA and came across one with pods. I've heard nothing but bad things about pods, especially in the 2008 era all from people who have never owned pods. How about any actual experience? I'm sure this particular boat is slightly faster and more efficient than the V...

Can someone tell me the part number for the 13.5kw Onan diesel generator? I forgot to write it down before i left today. I'd like to change the oil in the generator before the weekend. Thanks.

Any idea on a replacement for the galley kitchen faucet in nickel finish? I can’t seem to find the exact replacement. Just the wand would be fine.

Spent all weekend chasing the fresh water that accumulates in my aft bilge. Thought for sure it was the rudder posts so I disassembled the bilge area and found that in fact, the rudder posts are bone dry. Looked around and figured out it's coming from right above the exhaust area. Long story...

Curious what the levels are in your tanks? Are they supposed to be empty when cold and not running? Filled 1/2 way when hot and running, etc?

As we approach the one year mark of ownership of my 2003 50 SunDancer I suddenly have the urge to sell it and go with something completely different. So different that my wife won't even talk to me which should be a sign right there. Occasionally I try to convince myself that we'd have just as...

I have an ever so slight leak from my fresh water tank which is made from polyethylene. What can I use to cover this small leak? I can't access the tank from the bottom so the repair will be made from inside the tank. I know from experience and now google that the usual 4200, 5200...

I'm not new to these boats and the last one I bought was a 100% project but a part of me is itching for another 31 Bertram. Checked this one out and never saw anything like this. Claims it's because the marina didn't pull the boat in December and just got pulled in February. I'm not sure if...

I've crawled all around the bilge, traced every hose, etc., and for the life of me can't find the almighty Y valve for the head. There is the macerator switch on the panel and it looks like the hose goes to the holding tank and above the holding tank is a T and that hose goes to the macerator...

Other than the several day cold front we had the weather has been pretty mild for us. So much so I keep asking myself if I winterized too early. So with the boating group together last night we talked about going for a boat ride today to start the year off right! Opened 4 seacocks, took off the...
