I have a Garmin 188C gps/sounder and the smartcraft ECMs. I keep Starboard tach on depth. I was getting a reading yesterday of 2.6 and 2.3 but wasn't sure where the measure is from. The bottom of the drive/prop (lowered/raised?) or the bottom of keel? or somewhere else? I'm trying to...

I thought my business had acronyms.... :grin: I have a Raymarine VHF that currently alarms to tell me NEMA is not connected for DSC purposes. I have a standard Raymarine VHF radio with DSC button on the back. I also have a Garmin 188C GPS. I recall someone saying you have to register...

I'd like to run my refridgerator, upgraded momo stereo (mentioned for voltage draw purposes) and maybe my Garmin 188c GPS (with low battery alarm) without the generator while on the hook. How long can I safely run like this and still have enough battery power to start up the engines...

Background: Prior to purchasing my used 2004 280DA the dealer used my ECMs (while the boat was in his inventory) to diagnose a potential ECM issue on another boat and then put back the wrong ECMs. I now have one that shows 75 hours (matching the bill of sale and maintenance records) and one...

The Admiral and I spent our first night on "Good Juju" last night and stayed nice and warm even through a little snow over night. We've got the bug for sure. One thing that bothered our sleep a little was that whenever the heat kicked on (as opposed to just the fan running) a metallic...

I have a 2004 280sd with the twin 4.3's. I bought the boat recently and was told it had 75 hours on it. The dealer originally sold the boat new and then took it in on trade for a 320sd. I noticed that the engine guages have a pretty large discrepancy. One reads 75 hours and the other...

Why does my 280sd (with 1 ray215 VHF and Garmin 188c GPS) have 2 VHF antennas (one on each side :smt017 )? I have the Glomax antenna for the TV antenna. I wondered if it was for the distress call system on the Garmin but I think that shares the antenna with the Ray215. Any ideas (thanks...

I am a long time "wanna be" boat owner that is about to take the plunge for the first time. I have narrowed it down to purchasing a 2004-2005 Sundancer 280. The one I'm looking at closely is a 2004 freshwater for $99500. It has: twin 4.3's 70 hours, windlass, 5kw generator, upgraded stereo...
