    44 DB Holding Tank Monitor

    The manual says I should be able to see full, 1/2, etc. on the monitor in the DC panel. I do have those indications on the water tank side, but the display for the holding tank just shows "Power". Nothing else lights up when I depress the switch. If I turn the mascerator pump on, same thing...no...

    Common Rail Issue

    Just a heads-up...I had a fuel leak the other day on my starboard QSC 500. Turned out the fuel line from the pump to the common rail had developed an almost microscopic crack under the nut holding the line to the common rail. Found it after losing quite a bit of fuel, but before it could catch...

    May trip - West Palm to West End - looking for company

    Planning to leave West Palm on May 20 (assuming weather permits) for West End to clear customs, then on to Green Turtle Cay. Would love to have some company along the way. Anyone planning that trip around that time?

    QSC 500 after cooler removal

    For those of you who have removed your after coolers: I'm about to attempt it and would appreciate some advice. It looks to me as though I need to loosen the fuel/oil cooler enough, or maybe even remove it entirely, to gain access to the bolts holding the after cooler from below the mounting...

    44 DB sunpad cover

    We keep the two-piece bow sundae in the small stateroom between the berths, and it's really pretty cumbersome to take it out and put it away. Thinking of getting a cover for it, and just leaving it installed on the bow. Have any of you done this? Does Sea Ray have a cover for this I can buy, or...

    Washer/dryer removal

    Our last boat had a washer/dryer installed that we did not use even once in the eight years we owned it. Our '06 44 DB has a Splendide 2000 S installed, and I keep looking at the space it takes up, imagining how much could be stored in that space. Have any of you removed the washer/dryer unit...

    Securing firearms onboard in the Bahamas

    Reading all I can find on this subject, I've concluded that when clearing customs, in addition to accurately describing each firearm onboard and the amount of ammunition, the firearms themselves need to be in a "locked compartment". On my '06 44 DB, I have no such compartment. None of the...

    Rudder post stuffing box question

    Purchase survey for my '06 44 DB noted a small leak at the starboard rudder post. I'm going to slither back toward it in the next week or so, and would like to go in armed with the appropriate weapons. Does anyone know what size the nuts are on this stuffing box? I have enough assorted...

    Flag mount/staff for bow pulpit rail.

    I am looking for a flag staff to mount on the bow pulpit rail (44 sedan bridge) so I can fly a "Q" flag and then a courtesy flag when in the Bahamas. What have you all found that works and looks good?

    Making water under the engine

    My '06 44 DB seems to be making water. I keep getting an accumulation of water under the starboard engine. The stringers and crossmembers form a sump of sorts under the engines, and there is a recurring accumulation of water in this area, only under the starboard engine. It looks and tastes like...

    2006 44 DB dash panel for sale

    I have the centerline woodgrain panel for sale. It has holes cut for the four round gauges and a Raymarine E120. It's in perfect shape, but the hole for the E120 was too big for the Garmin display I installed, so I had Tecnografic make a new panel for the Garmin. I will sell this one for half of...

    Mystery hatch

    On my '06 44 DB, there is a screwed-down hatch under the starboard side couch in the salon. I can get three screws out, but the hatch extends aft under the frame of the couch, and there must be another screw there that I can't get to. Does anyone know what this hatch allows access to? I'm...

    Engine zinc access on 44 DB

    My '06 44 DB has Cummins QSB500's, and I'm having a devil of a time figuring out how to change all the zincs. I have 6 per engine...two on the oil/fuel cooler, two on the after cooler and two on the heat exchanger. From the centerline, I can access the starboard engine's oil/fuel cooler and...

    Air Conditioner Flush

    I'm going to get some Barnacle Buster to clean out my 3 A/C units. I can start the flow at the strainer with a purpose-made cap, but I can't disconnect the discharge hose at the thru-hull without contortions I don't think my body will stand. I'm sure the discharge hoses are gunked up too, and I...

    Raymarine E120 chart plotter

    I have the pictured Raymarine E120 display for sale. (Yes, I know the photo is upside down) It is a working take-out, but I do not have the bezel that covers the front. (It cracked when I removed it). I do have the suncover. It comes with the power cord, NMEA 0183 cord, SeaTalk cord and SeaTalk2...

    How is this valence panel attached?

    The PO did some work to the light in the forward port corner of the forward stateroom, and the valence panel in that corner has come loose. I can't see any obvious fasteners, and have pushed and shoved, but it won't stay up. Does anyone know how this panel is attached to the overhead? Clips...

    Another bulb replacement question

    My 44 DB has two lights in the overhead above the cockpit. They are chrome with a white lens, about 4 or 5 inches in diameter. One bulb is out, and I can't figure out how to get the unit down to replace it. I've tried twisting and pulling, but nothing seems to want to move. Do I need to just...

    Bulb replacement on 44 DB anchor/steaming light

    Both bulbs are out, and it looks like I have to disassemble the rear portion of the soft top in order to get to the light. Can anyone give me some guidance on how to go about this, and how much of a PIA it is? (Looks like it's going to be a significant PIA) I'm pretty sure I'm going to replace...

    Two Electrical Questions

    On a 44 DB, which battery bank is the start bank for the genset? I think it's the port bank, but would like confirmation. Second question: while running with the genset in operation, are the batteries being charged by the AC battery chargers (running off the genes) as well as the alternators...

    Fresh Water Tank Cleanout - 44 DB

    Does anyone know it there is a cleanout port on the water tank in the 44 DB? I know the tank is under the single berth nearest centerline in the guest cabin, but I can't tell if there is a cleanout I'm missing or not. The water sat for quite a while before we bought it, and smells somewhat like...
