When I purchased my boat a year ago, several of the rubber/neoprene straps that hold the sound enclosure tightly together were broken. I decided to order a complete set of 18 replacement straps to the tune of $250.00 with shipping. Yes, we all know that the price for Westerbeke replacement parts...
The 4th of July is on a Wednesday this year. A group of us are looking to spend the entire week up on your waters. When and where will fireworks be happening as we want to plan our trip around seeing some?
Over the past 8 weeks, I have been involved in both the sale of my Sea Ray and the purchase of an Egg Harbor. This all finally concluded this weekend. As you can tell from the duration of this process, it was NOT simple. Because of the dollars involved, I enlisted the help of friends, experts...
Last week, I lost communication between my two displays (Raytheon RL80CRC and L760). Turns out the HSB cable had simply fallen out of the back of the RL. I reconnected it and tried to secure it better with a wire tie to another cable coming from the back of the display unit.
This week, while...
I recently completed a stereo upgrade and as part of that process, changed the use of one of my Vimar switches. It is located in the companionway. Each of the switches has a matching label identifying what it controls, but this has now changed.
Anyone know who made the labels and if they...
After using the Clarion XMD1 and a FM transmitter to play the Ipod and enduring less than quality sound, enough was enough. It was time to upgrade the head unit to something more with our times. I quickly came to the Fusion equipment and began to plan (with ALOT of help from fellow CSR member...
I want to replace my existing helm remote with one that has an actual display and not just the control buttons.
A friend is willing to sell me an old, but never used and still in the original box Clarion m201rcs unit which would do just that, but my old XMD1 head unit won't work to actually...
Please help me to understand how the Central Vac operates. Mine has been giving me problems and I need to know how its supposed to work to know what might need fixing.
When I switch on the "outlets" at the 110V panel, the vacuum turns on for about 2 seconds and then shuts itself off. I assume...
I went to change my Vetus Bow Thruster Oil today (50 kgf model) and when removing the plug (bolt) at the bottom of the tail piece, some debris seemed to have fallen off. The debris was circular in shape and I cannot discern if it was some kind of gasket, or just krud.
I spoke with Vetus and...
As someone who likes to fish on occasion, I chose the Amberjack model over a Sundancer as I like the wide open cockpit. However, back at the dock, it is difficult to get out of the sun and as a result, much of the dockside fun is had at friends boats who have either biminis or camper canvas...
I came across the Sony PS3 Slim while trying to find a Blu-Ray player to mate up with a Flat Screen for this years winter upgrade (replacing the TV/VCR). They actually measure smaller in overall size then a typical DVD player and will play Blu-Ray disks in addition to providing a gaming system...
Like so many on this forum, I want to replace my existing TV/VCR unit with a flat screen. To do so will require enlarging the opening. My boat has what I believe was called the Vitricore product and I have verified that there is plenty of room behind the panel for the wider screen.
Has anyone...
Anyone know the part number and/or a good source for these bags. It appears to be a cloth type bag with HEPA filtration as well.
My manuals are on the boat, and I want to order a replacement.
Thanks in advance.

I am seriously thinking of defecting Lake Erie from June 12th to June 20th to partake in a Power Squadon Cruise of the Head of the Chesapeake Bay. The itinerary that has been set originates in Rock Hall and proceeds to Worton Creek Marina, Havre de Grace Marina...
I am working with a "Prop-Scan" shop to determine if I need to take some pitch out of my props to get to 2800 RPM WOT with my Cat's
A couple of questions.
1.They have asked me if I know if Sea Ray ever advertised a Max Speed at WOT (with this engine setup) as this may help them with doing...
I am replacing all my canvas over the winter and need to finalize what color to use.
The current color is heather beige. My original desire was to go with black as the other amberjacks I have seen with black really stand out. However after reading several posts here, I have decided to put...
Last year was my 1st season using this Chartplotter as the boat was new to me. While the unit is old technology now, it did seem to function properly. However, I did notice two things that seemed odd and wondered if it was supposed to function this way.
1. Most times when I powered the unit...
All,
The Great Lakes Boat Top website shows that they did the canvas for my boat for the factory. Having followed the advice of many on CSR, I emailed them for a quote. They replied that they did not do the original OEM canvas work. :huh:
Anyone know who did?? I wish to replace all of the...
It's time to lay up for the winter. :smt089
The boat will be stored indoors in heated storage.
Do you guys recommend changing out the Racor's and spin on's now and laying up with clean ones, or do you install the new ones in the spring just before re-launching?
