Any recommendations for hull and gasoline engine surveyors in the area? A friend is looking at a Sundancer with Merc inboards. Any input appreciated.

Does anyone have experience with one of these? https://www.lewmar.com/node/11640 I have a Lewmar wired hand held remote which works well and is convenient. This looks like it’s pretty much the same thing with the addition of a chain counter, which I would prefer over painting the chain or...

The male end plug on my Hubbell 50A 125/250V shore power cord only has two prongs. It plugs into a female receptacle at the dock that has slots for three prongs, that is, for two bent prongs and one straight prong. The missing prong on my end plug is the straight one, the two I have are the...

Does anyone have any experience with this product? It is designed to keep the raw water intakes and interior lines and passages clear of marine growth. It produces a small electrical charge that increases the concentration of chlorine in the raw water systems. The product is getting great...

Hi everyone, we are putting our boat up for sale (moving up in size) and wanted to post on here before going to Boat Trader. Below is the listing as it will appear when we do that, and attached are some photos. If anyone on the forum is interested or knows someone who might be interested...

I’m trying to post photos but no matter what I do they all get posted sideways or upside down. They are photos taken from my iPhone, and as saved they are all in normal orientation. But when I upload them as a file attachment to a message here they all get turned around. Does anyone have a...

Does anyone have experience with MAN diesel service in this area? I understand there are two MAN service centers in the area (Hild’s and Shore Power Solutions, both listed as a “Service Partner” on the MAN web site), but I’m getting conflicting information about who is or is not “certified” or...

We just went under agreement on a Princess in Jupiter, FL. We have the MAN technician/surveyor lined up, and we are now looking to pick the hull/boat surveyor. I’ve come up with several names from various sources. If you’ve had experience with any of these surveyors (or if you recommend...

Are there Cummins experts in the Annapolis area that you can recommend? I have a few leads from a seller’s broker, but would really appreciate this group’s experience. Thanks in advance.

We were finally able to see one of these, and we liked it a lot more than we expected to. The bridge is huge, the layout is pretty nice for the size, the fit and and finish seemed reasonably good, and this one has shafts not pods. It’s a post-2014 Sea Ray, so the quality issues mentioned on...

Does anyone know what type of thread GLBTC uses on their Sunbrella canvas products? Do they use something that is the quality of Tenara? That would be a bit surprising, given their competitive pricing compared to custom work. I have full canvas in Toast Tweed and I am resewing some areas of...

Hope everyone is doing well with the quarantine. I just learned that the burl covers on those electronic switch pads many of us have on our boats can be refinished. Attached is a photo of the switch pad I am talking about. Refinishing would work for me, as mine are still functioning normally...

Does anyone on the forum own a 460 Fly? We’re looking at one (with shafts) and wondering if anyone has experience (good or bad) with the model or can suggest any particular items or issues with this model we should be looking out for. Thanks in advance.

This panel (circled in red in the photo) says “P1 Series DNAGroup.com” on it, and has several plugs connected to it and several open spots for additional plugs. Is this the Smartcraft junction box? Thanks in advance.

The mesh material on the cockpit upholstery panels that cover the speakers is mildewed and rotting so I am recovering the panels. I was able to pry them off without breaking the Christmas tree fasteners, but I broke the backer board on one of the panels and will need to make a new one. It is a...

In case anyone is interested, although these parts are no longer made by Southco and therefore no longer available in the US, the same parts are still made by a company called Onmar that succeeded Southco when it closed operations in Sweden. I just obtained a replacement magnetic socket from...

Can anyone tell me what this thing is on my hardtop? It’s about 3-4” square and about 1” high, mounted close to the aft edge of the hardtop on the centerline of the boat behind the radar dome. I assume it’s some kind of sensor or antenna, but I don’t know what for. I don’t have the Sirius...

After our first season with our 2009 330DA, I am thinking about maintenance items that should be taken care of before next season. One big red flag is the exhaust manifolds and elbows have never been replaced, and the boat has been slipped in salt/brackish water for 8 years, and hauled out...

Can anyone recommend a custom shop that will make 316 stainless grab rails to my specs? I want to add grab rails in several places (where Sea Ray should have put them), but I have not been able to find ones that match what Sea Ray put on the boat, and they are unavailable from G.G. Schmidt (the...

This is our first year with our 330 DA, we're keeping it at Harbor East, and we need to gas up for the first time for an upcoming trip. Any preferences on gas docks in the area? Looks like Rusty Scupper and Lighthouse Point are the main options, but wondering what people who know the area...
