I bought two new port side engine batteries three weeks ago as I was prepping the boat to get put in. I did not run hardly anything on these batteries before the boat went in. After it was dropped in the water, I went to start the port engine and it would barely turn over. That day I finally...
The rubber boots that cover the bolt/nut for the windshield wiper on our 420 is deteriorating and staining the top deck. I am going to replace them. Does anyone know where to purchase new boots? Thanks.4
Hello Nick- my top step is loose and I thought it was secured with screws. Did you take your step off and can you give me any advice on how to tighten the step? It seems like I might be able to fit short shims (less than 1” long) in the front of the step but not sure if that is the best solution
Unfortunately, I did not. I pulled the trim off and can see the cylinder but no way to get my hands on it. It looked liked the cylinder was bad. Seems like a winter project.
Thanks for your reply. The light inside and the display did not work. That is what made me think it might be a fuse. Is there an internal fuse other than the circuit breaker? I thought the electrical schematic showed a 10 amp fuse?
Our microwave stopped working after we continuously used the microwave for about 30 minutes the other night. The breaker was not tripped so I assume I either blew a fuse or burned up the microwave. Is there a fuse and if so where is it? Any other ideas? If I need to pull the microwave has...
The flip down tv in our 420 started making some clunking noises as it got close to being shut and after shutting. When we try to activate it to close, it seems like the motor to drive it up starts but doesnt engage the tv to close. After a few seconds it engages and goes up but then clunks at...
Ok, now is the time to put my tail between my legs and tell you that I found the circuit breaker tripped. I did not have time to put the wiring all back together tonight but will try to get to tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's input!
I am going to try to get to the boat this afternoon. When I checked the voltage yesterday on the hot wire it was way low. An electronics guy I talk to thought the best place to start would be the circuit breaker. Would the inline breaker be at the main DC breaker panel in the bilge? And do...
Thanks, I did wonder about that. I cut the ground wire at the butt connector that I put on and touched the pump ground to a grounded screw while the hot wire was on the pump brown wire and got nothing. I figured I would get something if I was touching a grounded screw/wire. Maybe I will try...
I replaced my three bilge pumps and floats this weekend. The first two work fine but the aft bilge pump will not work. I wired black pump to black ground wire, the larger brown wire with the red stripe to grey (float switch), and two brown wires to grey (other float switch wire) and to brown...
Thanks everyone. I am looking for the seal for the vent window that is part of the windshield. It has deteriorated to the point that it is falling apart. I will check flounder pounder and order some.
The foam vent window seal on our 420 is worn out and needs replacing. I cant find a part number in the Searay parts manual. Is this foam seal made from a roll or does it come as a singular part? Thanks.
I am going to replace the indirect rope lighting on our 2005 420 DA. The rope ends on the starboard side of the bed and the other end goes into an area of the hull on the port side of the boat (switch is on the starboard side) that I can't see into or know how to get to. I cannot see it when I...
Just getting around to this. I found screws on the trim above the back cabin but could not locate any screws on the trim in the front master cabin. Am I just missing them? Thanks. Tim
I am looking at updating the ruffled material on the valences but don't know how to remove them. Does anyone know how to remove them to change the material? Thanks.
Thanks for the responses. I first pulled the coolant hose coming out of the pump into the heat exchanger and there was nothing in there. I got the end cap off the heat exchanger (it is darn difficult to access the heat exchanger) and found a few parts of the impeller but not much. I suppose I...
