    It's been a while since I've posted!

    We left the Sea Ray family about 8 years ago and bought into the battlewagon family of Bertram's. We've had our Bertram 37 convertible now since 2017, but am finding it somewhat a pain in the ass climbing the stairs to the bridge and just the general life of a true sportfisher. We now have...

    290 Amberjack

    We have outgrown our 290 Amberjack - great boat, but just too small for our needs. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2002/Sea-Ray-290-Amberjack-2943758/Huntington-Beach/CA/United-States#.VuSr25wrK70

    2003 290 Amberjack live bait well and sink valve

    Does anyone know where to order the valve in the tackle station to switch over from the live bait well to the sink or visa versa? Went to turn it over to the sink and snapped mid point. Thanks!

    Real crappy smell from the drain in the bathroom and sink!

    The smell in the bathroom sink and kitchen sink smell like sewer most of the time! Are there filters that need cleaning or should I put holding tank deodorizer down the drain???

    Tachometer

    I am looking for an OEM tachometer for my 2003 Amberjack - Cant get the engines sync'd and tried just about everything except replacing the current aftermarket tach with an OEM. Thanks in advance.

    Westerbeke generatro woes on 290 Amberjack

    I have scoured the site for Westerbeke genset issues, most seem to have the rough idle or dying after 30 minute syndrome. Mine on the other hand ran perfect the last two trips out, then last weekend I went to start the generator and nada - it turned over then just quit. All I get is a solenoid...

    Steering woes

    The wife and I decided to take a mini vacation and headed out to Catalina for the weekend. As we left the marina, I noticed the steering was much more stiff than usual (always seemed very hard to steer compared to other boats I have owned). During the 28 mile run off shore, I started feeling a...

    5.0 engines unsycn'd

    I just had the starboard tachometer replaced and the engines still, according to the tach's and sync gauge are about 600 rpm off with the starboard running higher. At idle with the throttles back, the engines do seem to be syn'd, but the sync gauge and tach say differently. Any suggestions?

    I am back - well sort of!

    I sold my 270 Sundancer and I am now looking at the 290 Amberjack. I want to keep boat ownership to trailerable since I live in So. Cal and the slip fees bend you over and hurt, so the 34 Amberjack is out of the question. I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on a 290 Amberjack -...

    Temperature issues

    I am sure this has been addressed before somewhere on this forum, but here goes. I took my 2000 270 7.4 in for service last month to have the bellows replaced and the out-drive serviced. The mechanic stated at the time; since the drive was off that they recommend the engine be serviced as well...

    Fuel burn for a 2000 270 Sundancer

    Mechanic's tactics

    Quick question - I recently had my fuel pump, vapor cool, and fuel regulator replaced, as well as the riser gaskets. While the repairs were being performed, the mechanic indicated that I should have the freeze plugs replaced next year. At first I was open to the suggestion, but then started...

    Doing it again!

    Need some advice - About 4 months ago I had a similar problem with my 2000 - 270 Sea Ray Sundancer - 7.4 fuel injected, dual prop merc. I could not get the boat up onto plane, and once it did plane, it would fall off within minutes - even backfired a few times. I changed the fuel filter and...
