I have been looking at the same thing for a awhile now, going to pull fridge out from under stair and crawl back to see if there is any other drains inside.
Would love to keep the water out.

Thanks for responses, I have Cummins as well.
I don't let the wife leave alot on board unless we are on a trip, then it can be fairly loaded.
I will look for a set of 24s for spares.
After last summer I was looking at getting a set of spare props, my props are stamped 22R26 and 22L26.
I see most are running a 23 or 24, could these have been reworked to a smaller size.
I do reach full RPM and cruise at 2100 rpm and see 26 mph to 29 mph depending on lake conditions.
These...
Hi Dave,
Did you have any luck with this. My starboard side has a little water but port side is moving alot of water in heavy rain.
Would love to keep the water going over the sides rather the. Into the boat.
Jamie
We have a 400 sedan bridge with a 3 berth layout. It's great for weekends away with friends.
Bunks on starboard and singles or convert to double on port with forward master.
Thank you. Thats information that could save ya on the water. We were just about to enter a fast moving river when engine shut down if it didn't restart we would have been in trouble.
I am leaning towards this as well. The alternator is not charging or batteries are toast and not excepting a charge.
I'll load test batteries this weekend and check output on alternator.
Thanks
Question for the group. 400 sedan bridge with 8.3L CTA
We were on a 5 hour run and in the 4th hour my Starboard engine shut off.
The only thing wierd was I noticed earlier on that my Volt meter for that side was jumping all around, its normally very stable.
I was able to start it and run...
Bob what are some details on your boat, price, what is your location. We put ours under contract yesterday and had a few more looking that we turned away.
I looked at this one recently, its immaculate but $$ was too high for me.
Low hours and it's a 2004

Is the 560 your looking at forsale with JFBYs is so have a look at the 98 560 with Cats for 60K less. seems like a good option, and I always think the best maintained or surveyed boat wins.
I wouldn't be against a smaller tank, we hardly use this one just didn't want eliminate it completely for resale purposes.
Probably have to move the fill and new hoses, alot easier to get at fresh water pumps too.
Jamie
Has anyone ever relocated the Fresh water holding to Master berth, Looks like a large spot behind forward A/C.
Our previous 380 was located here and worked out good, trying to think of ways to make ER more accessible.

Hi Billy ray
I believe the black gasket is cosmetic only, the Caulking around the windows are the seal. I'm sure someone will chime in but I think this is true
Mine does the same thing, i have to be gentle coming off plane or the ladder door will flip open. 1200 to 1400 rpm its seeing alot of water 1100 and lower seems to work ok.
Mine is straight, wasn't sure if it was 8 or 9 inch
QUOTE="Steve S, post: 1341893, member: 1315"]Do you have the straight or tapered filter? Mine is tapered or is the base the same, just different hold down lid?
Does anyone happen to know if the Walker Airsep replacement filter is the CD176 and regulator filter CD180, I forgot to measure and would like to know before getting back to boat.
thanks
