I have a friend that just purchased a 1983 34' Sedan Bridge and I'm helping him go through all his systems to check operations before laying up for the winter. We cannot locate the shower sump anywhere. Other Searays of this era have the sump in the hallway area just outside of the head door...

Congratulations on your purchase and hope it is going well. I fully agree regarding the exodus to Facebook. I hope many of the former contributors come back as the knowledge base was superior.

Correct. I have found a diagram that shows there is another solenoid in the engine compartment on the firewall.

The windlass on our 04 Dancer 30 has been acting up and I need some help. The dash switch powers on (green light on) and I can hear solenoid clicking when trying to move anchor up and down. Boat has foot controls and they work. I took the solenoid control box apart that is in the anchor locker...

Working on installing underwater lights on a 300DA (2004 year) and see there are three accessory switches on the dash. Is there a pigtail or other way to tie into these in the engine compartment? I would like to use the one makes “aft acc” but need to know where the tie in to it is. Any help is...

Welcome! Born and raised in Dallas, but now I have to shout "GO GREEN, GO WHITE"!

A long way from the days of Boston Whaler when my 13' sport was made in 1956. My wife and I love that little boat for days of exploring rivers and other waters in our area when we need a break from the big lake. Through the 80's and even late into the 90's Whalers were marketed at families with...

Where has everyone on this thread disappeared to? This used to be one of the most active threads on CSR and has completely died of in the last 6-8 months. I hope not all have converted to the Facebook page?! It is fine, but not nearly as useful or full of experienced hands as this thread is...

I have been working on plans to use a Pi for many functions on our boat since beginning of 2018 using these two articles below. My son just graduated from U Mich with his Masters in EE w/ computer science and I'm planning to tap into him for the programming portion. I just need to finish my list...

I just saw this post. We made the trip on 10/19/18 up from Saugatuck to Holland to put our 390 away for the winter. West side of Lake MI was getting this storm that day. Lake had laid down nice on the west side on 10/18, but I couldn't get away to move the boat, so it had to be on 10/19. This...

As a fabricator, I have made repairs like this many times before. KevinC is correct in his statement above. Fixing this seam is only a temporary solution as the vinyl has begun to deteriorate and is approaching its end of useful life. The repair may last a season or three, there is really no way...

I will look, but I dont' think I do.

The problem with not removing the frames is getting the acrylic part out. The way it is installed, the frame captures the top and bottom in a U shaped track, but the sides just but the vertical frame pieces. I had to remove the entire frame to properly get the acrylic part out. When I...

Sorry, I forgot the link. You can also purchase just the pin if needed. https://www.amazon.com/White-Water-Marine-Fittings-F13-0301/dp/B073WGBP6P/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1542285480&sr=8-2&keywords=taco+marine+bimini+ball+%26+socket+top+fittings

Bought these exact same fittings last season from Amazon for a customers boat. They come complete, fitting, pin, delrin insert. Not expensive.

Is that a chunk of metal or is that the lobe of the camshaft? Either way, not good. If that is the cam it looks like it is badly scored from the lifter. Valve might be bent preventing the proper operation of the lifter and pushrod. A closer pic or better description would help. Either way, I...

Check the outlet line of your fuel filter going to the generator from the fuel tank. Most boats have a solenoid at the outlet side as well. They have been known to quit and when they do it stops fuel from flowing from the filter to the carb. There is a position on the solenoid that you can use...

I am not familiar with the 12.5 gennie, but I am familiar with this same problem. Last season (2017) my generator began to act weird. Sometimes it would run for an hour or two with no problems, then would seem to randomly shut down. As the season progressed, the run times became shorter. During...
