Last December, I spent about three hours on my boat with a tech from Sea Ray and we spent most of the time reviewing the e-plex system and how/why it works the way it does. He was very knowledgeable and informative but it is difficult to put what I learned in an online posting. I have sent him...

I've never thought of installing a second transducer. Is this to provide data to an additional depth finder or fish finder?

I have a 36DB (gas) with the Sea Ray factory optional Raymarine radar/chart plotter package (Raymarine E120 with open array radar and GPS) along with the Smartcraft system. There are a number of shortcomings to the installation of these systems on my boat; the two systems are not set up to share...

Fitzroy, Did the teak table come from stateside or was is locally produced? It looks great!

Overextended - The platform does not pull up any water coming off plane and in fact has a little less "wake wash" than the last two Sea Rays (2000 340 DA & 1998 270DA) I have owned that both had bolt on platforms. Having said this, regardless of the boat, don't leave a mat on a low (12-24" above...

I boat on Lake Lanier outside Atlanta, Georgia. My boat is powered with Horizons with DTS and is equipped with a bow thruster, all chain rode (more on that combination later), hardtop, cockpit seating, underwater lighting, and Raymarine electronics (E120 with radar). So far I've added an...

To discuss, share experiences as well as suggest options, modifications and improvements (this boat has more untapped potential than most Sea Rays) Not to debate if this boat (or any boat) demands diesels or if gas is good enough (the answer seems too obvious to those on both sides of the...

It is my understanding that ballast can be added as the boat is built to "balance" options installations if needed. Obviously, options add weight and some even reduce buoyancy (bow thruster tunnel). If you add weight, it will impact performance. My only advice is that rather than add lead, add...

The 36DB was tested/reviewed by a couple of magazines (Motorboating and Power & Motoryacht) and both listed performance numbers for the gasoline powered boat. My experience confirms those numbers (mine are closer to the Motorboating test). Properly trimmed, I will cruise at 20 knots (23 mph)...

Always. Try Woody Wax and you'll never do it any other way.
