For Sale : Spring for Lofrans Progress 1 Windlass Purchased the spring in order to repair the windlass. The spring is under backorder status and therefore took a long time to arrive. Unfortunately, by the time it did arrive, Hurricane Matthew came and went. Boat has been totaled and...

I left the boat ('97 SR 370) for a few days with my mechanic 2 weeks ago to have some engine work done. The boat now has this pinkish staining on some of the vinyl in the cockpit (see attachment). Of course, the mechanic doesn't know anything about it. Can anyone shed some light on this? I...

Hurricane tire out stitching from a few panels of canvas. Can someone give me a ballpark estimate on new canvas. Current canvas is 4-5 years old. Also thinking of updating from brown to blue or green. Advice appreciated. Steve

More advice needed. I have a problem with the piece of canvas over the helm in my 370. The stitching of the canvas to the "edge material" deterioated. I would remove it and take it for repair but I don't know how to remove the edge material from its attachment to the radar arch. It appears to...

Have been working on the engines recently on this new-to-me 370 ('97). Many of the cockpit floor sections have rubber gaskets underneath that are either torn or missing. There are others that are in good shape but the adhesive holding them to the floor section is failing. Consequently, some...

Any advice from the group on replacement of the small surface-mounted downlights on the underside of the 1997 370's arch? Mine are badly pitted and have heavily stained lenses. They are about 3 -3 3.5 inches in diameter. Would like to obtain replacements that can be installed easily without any...

I need to replace the Xintex (Fireboy) CO monitor in the cabin. I have the original, older model and have obtained the newer Xintex model (without the generator shut-ff). As this new model is smaller than the prior model and has a different mounting orientation (vertical vs. horizontal), I was...

After having had the boat out of the water for cleaning of the hull and props (as well as possible prop work - See post of yesterday entitled "Proposed Prop Work"), I have now been told that the shaft seals are leaking and should be repaired now. Any idea of the cost of doing so? Have been...

Would like to hear opinions on the following. Have a 1997 Sea Ray 370 w/ twin 7.4s (new to me this year). Have spent some time getting it in shape and have been making some progress. Have had one continuing issue though which relates to the boat's speed at WOT and the RPMs at WOT. At...

Any guidance on the best/cheapest source of parts for a Westerbeke generator? Have a 7.0 BCG. Note that the list price of a distributor cap is $165. Can this be right? Didn't think that a tune-up for the generator would involve a second mortgage?

Quick question for the group. Want to find my engine numbers (as I see that ordering of some parts require those numbers). There is a decal on the top of each engine for this information but in my case both are blank. Is this info located on another position on each engine and, if so, where...

I need to purchase a new anchor rode. Currently have one with 5/16" chain and 5/8" 3 strand rope. A friend has recommended that my new rode be composed of the chain and a 8 plait rope because it is less susceptible to kinking and folds upon itself better in the locker. I have Lofrans Project...

Need the groups help once again as this boat is new to me. 1. Don't seem to have power to the windlass. I noticed a very recent thread which indicated there was a breaker near the battery switches. Checked this out in my boat but no breaker there. Any idea where I should look for a breaker...

Another question for the group. My depth finder appears to require replacement. It is the original thru-hull one installed in 1996. (When the boat is not moving, the readings change e.g. from 15' to 54' or the reading disappears altogether.) I plugged a new transducer into my MFD and it...

Returning for some advice from the group. My 97 Sea Ray 370 is new to me this year. Twin 7.4s with v-drives. The bottom is clean and props look good (but forgot to measure them before putting boat in the water.). The engines run well, idling at about 800 rpm. New plugs this year as well as...

Quick question. I want to change out the antifreeze in my '96 370 with twin 7.4s. (Boat is new to me). I assume that it requires 50/50 ethylene glycol such as a typical Prestone "green" product. Am I correct? Just wanted to make sure that there was not a Dex-type product in use at the time...

Am hooking up my new MFD (Raymarine C97). Have a question on where to connect the ground wire on the power cord. Do I connect it to the negative terminal block on the "dash panel" (where black wires are connected) or is there a separate ground terminal block? Boat is a '96 Sea Ray 370...

While the port engine's idle speed is spot on, the idle speed in the starboard engine is high (1200-1400). Idle speed is constant whether the engine is cold or fully warmed up. I am new to this game. Can someone give me a good place to start my troubleshooting adventure? My idea is to first...

Thinking of replacing the Raymarine c80 (classic) in my boat (1997 370 EC). The screen is stained and from some angles practically unreadable. Also having some functional problems. I assume that it would be easiest to go with a Raymarine undate as it would most likely be compatible with...
