Great information Will research it thanks

Reference for a 2000 540 DA. I have a fresh water leak that seems to be coming from the 120 gal fresh water tank. I can see some staining and mold looking forward at the tank from the bilge in the master stateroom. There is no access to the tank other than pulling up the new rugs and cutting...

You can purchase a regulator Amazon $25 and attach it to the shore water outlet. Set the pressure to 35 psi and save your boat regulator and thus your fresh water system from over pressure

2000 Sea Ray 540 DA I need to replace the LewMar traveler cars that extend the aft sunpad. All 4 cars no longer have any Delrin or Torlon balls. The LewMar cars are marked 2000B and LewMar USA has been unable to help with a cross to current cars. I looked at using Harkin captive cars but...

Trebble, Thanks for the info. I have passed the first season and did see the SPURS in action. This was along a route that I have used for a long time and it had been free of crab pots. Also it was along a 40' sounding. The crab pots were brand new and I wasn't watching closely. Sheared it...

I am going thru this at the moment on a 540. I spoke with SPURS a couple of days ago and the woman I talked to said they need a little over an inch of straight shaft. Any thoughts? I am going to give them a call back to see if I can get the same response as you. Did you use a shaft extender...

Did you have any issues on the SPURS with tapered shafts. I have a 540 with CAT3196's and the shaft is tapered from the strut hub to the prop hub. SPURs says they need a little over an inch of strait shaft. Did you need to use the shaft extension? Thanks Jim

Has anyone installed SPUR line cutters. It seems like they require over an inch of flat, no taper shaft. My shafts on a 3196 CAT installation are tapered from the strut hub to the face of the prop hub. Spur makes a shaft extension that goes between the transmission drive and the shaft collar...

Thanks for you advice Jim

I have heard a lot of numbers for engine temp high range. Alban cat says 200 is ok. Others say it’s too hot. So why am I asking the question anyway? I have two 3196’s and track the temps on every trip. Starboard averages 197. Port averages 186. Have gone thru raw water pump overhaul, system...

Any final outcome. Have 1 running 196 and 1 running 184. Maybe the 184 is the issue and not the 196

I see from the replies that your friends think you have taken great care of your boat. You may be happy to know that your buyer not only appreciates that but will keep your boat in the same condition.
