Last weekend we went out to a nice anchorage for the afternoon. Arrived at our destination, found a nice opening between two decent size sail boats and dropped the anchor. We were in 8' of water plus 5' of distance from bow to water = 13', so I let out a scope of about 5X's about 70' of chain...

I have been searching for our next boat and recently looked at a 2018 L550 sedan now I want to get on a Fly. I am only looking at the 2018 model year because this year they built the boat with straight shafts and Cat engines. Does anyone have any insight on performance, handling (rough water)...

I just replaced my HID SV20 (Sea Vision) underwater lights with LED 's. The original HID bulbs are in perfect condition for anyone who has these HID SV20 (12V) model lights and needs to replace a bad light. I would sell one for $150 or all four for $500 and free shipping.

Finally got onto the boat to start my spring maintenance, plugged in the batteries to start charging up and turned on lights throughout and when I tried to turn on the main salon cabin lights nothing came on. There are 4 switches at the top of the stairway, the bilge lights work, cockpit...

Over the weekend went to drop the anchor as normal, activated the main switch at the helm and then I use the rocker switch next to it to put down the anchor. I engaged the rocker switch for a few seconds lowering the anchor, paused for a second or two and then pushed the switch again and nothing...

Fired up the engines for launch earlier in the week and I received a waning alarm "Low Water Pressure" Engine 2 - which is port engine. So checked things out below and yesterday we did a shake down run and all systems ran/worked well. Engine temps were spot on @172 - 175 degrees. I tried to...

Trying to determine the best size to purchase for my platform, it's hydraulic so no worries there and will be using chocks that slide into platform. I need some guidance from those who currently carry one on similar size platform as to what size is best 10'.6" or 11'6". Does the extra foot make...

I have a 2009 48’ Sundancer with two KVH TracVision TV receivers, one in the main salon and one in the forward bedroom, all original equipment from SeaRay. Currently all TV’s run on the same channel as the main salon TV and I do have two separate digital TV cards for each box. So my question is...

On my 2009 48DA the 2 batteries for the thruster are independent to the thruster and only charge when on shore power or running generator I most recently experienced very weak batteries (replaced 8-2105) when I attempted to dock using the thruster. I isolated the problem down to the charger and...

I have the small 19” flat screen tv currently mounted on a pole stand that slips into a hole in the counter. I would like to mount a larger flat screen above it on the arch. Does anyone have experience on doing this or can share information on the type of mount and how to go about it would be...
