    USB Phone Charging Ports Failing Fast?

    I'm having a challenge with most of the USB phone chargers on my boat failing. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I have a 2019 SDX 250 that I bought used. The boat runs great. This has basically been the only issue. Does anyone know where to locate the inverter (I assume it's...

    New Boat - Battery Maintenance

    I have a new-to-me boat, a 2019 Sea Ray SDX 250. I read in the manual that I should check the fluid levels on the batteries every month. No problem, I've done this in my older cars. But in my battery bank, I'm surprised to find that the cables seem to be completely blocking the port covers. Is...

    GPS Data Missing for Active Engine Trim and Smart Tow

    I'm hoping you folks can shed some light on this. 2019 SDX 250 I/O 300 Merc 300 6.2L DTS (engine prop-based trim, not separate Lenco, et al). New-to-me boat, and I'm absolutely loving it. My GPS is working on my chart plotters (and SOG, etc), but when I attempt to engage the engine active...

    Resale Value for a Boat with Extended Warranty

    Your insight was really helpful! Your price is quite a bit less than I was quoted initially. I've found out that there are additional expanded coverages there were bundled-up in my quote, so I'm curious what you found. 8yr Basic Engine- $2,870.00 30k limit (up from 10k) of liability- add...

    Resale Value for a Boat with Extended Warranty

    Thanks for the perspective. My boat has the same paint and top as yours, just i/o instead. Like "brothers from a different mother."

    Resale Value for a Boat with Extended Warranty

    Would you pay a premium for a boat that included SeaRay's factory warranty? I'm buying a used 2019 SDX 250 from an authorized dealer. The existing warranty will transfer to me till it expires in two years (June of 2024), which covers most parts and labor. There's an option to extend the Sea Ray...

    Proactive Maintenance on a New-to-Me Boat

    Thanks for the advice! All three of your recommendations make sense to me. SeaRay also recommends the oil change at the end of the season. I plan to keep it docked in the harbor in downtown Chicago (for any locals: Diversey Harbor). Here in Chicago, a lot of folks leave theirs in all season...

    Proactive Maintenance on a New-to-Me Boat

    Haha. Well, they build a lovely appreciation for the benefits of a good hull wash. ;)

    Proactive Maintenance on a New-to-Me Boat

    Thanks. I agree on the work that should already be done. I just wonder about the marginal items that degrade over time, like the impeller. (Maybe I've had too much internet, but posts like this give me pause.) RE: Manuals, I'm an engineer nerd so I've already read the owners manual and parts...

    Proactive Maintenance on a New-to-Me Boat

    Thanks. I'm hopeful that paying a premium for a slightly newer boat -- still has a bit of the factory warranty -- will pay off in terms of reliability and days on the water while I'm learning to care for the boat. "RE: What you mean acid wash?" Acid wash is just a hull wash with a pressure...

    Proactive Maintenance on a New-to-Me Boat

    Hello! (I've been reading lots of posts, but if I'm missing an FAQ or thread, please direct me there!) I'd love your advice on pre-season maintenance/repair/replacements for a 2019 SDX before this boat goes into the harbor. Here's some background: I'm planning the purchase of a 2019 SDX 250...
