I have a MY COPILOT made by Carpe Diem that came with our boat from the previous owner. I will remotely operate the thruster and shift the transmissions FWD and AFT so you can maneuver the boat from anywhere close. I am not ever going to install this nor am I interested in using it. I would...

Irie308, that looks really nice. Did you disable the tilt/rotate yourself? It gives me the willies to go at the antenna with a hole saw! I like your idea of going out the window to reach the arch. My life insurer, my wife, would kill me if I tried to kill myself by going out the window...maybe...

I would like to have my Starlink antenna mounted to the radar arch but I want to reserve the ability to quickly remove it and bring it home. Unlacing the canvas, while not technically difficult, is time consuming and not something I like doing. I unlaced the front to replace the radar with the...

Glad to let you know how I use the Starlink...! It is an RV unit. We never use it underway or rely on the internet for navigation. I have a 300 Watt inverter that I power it with. The heater is off but it still draws some power. That is why I am upping the battery count on the Starboard side...

AEO, it looks like a PO modded your battery setup. From the factory, there were 2 group 31s each for Port and Starboard. The thruster also had a pair of group 31. I am guessing that Sea Ray figured if you needed more, you would just run the generator. Is that a Florida way of thinking as the...

Following up on the 12V circuit from the batteries to the guest stateroom for the 120/12V freezer. I was down at the boat this afternoon and was looking from behind the couch backrest cushion forward. in behind there is the deck fill hose and not much else going forward. Has anyone drilled...

Yes, the control wire goes up one of the struts and the hose for the washer goes up the other. I may talk to my canvas person. A simple vent would work. The issue is it that it's quite a ways up to the front across the dash. The vent on the 380 was easy to adjust.

I have the canvas insert that is on their website. It has the wiper built in with the washer. Right now the washer does not work but I don't miss it. I need to replace the little pump...no biggie. Still would like a vent at the front for some air movement. Sometimes when it is hot here and we...

Thanks! The pictures will help a lot. I can get the wire up and behind the couch from behind the cockpit fridge. It would be better through the engine room if possible. There is a 110V outlet on the side of the storage under the bed near the floor. That would be a great place for the 12V...

Hey baj, I never got to this "12V outlet" project in the VIP stateroom but I did look at the firewall at the time. I was looking for wires going through the firewall. I just re-read this, is it a cover plate that is the access point? Thanks for re-visiting this !! Cheers!

Has anyone ever found the washers for the bilge washdown faucet? It is a Whitecap P-2453C and nothing comes up for the washer kit. They may be common and available at Home Depot. There is a 100+ variety pack available from Amazon too. I really don't need that many as I do not rebuild valves like...

Quick Google search... Amazon...

Tim, Did you take the pump assembly off and replace the duck bills on the bench? I'm guessing you did. In that case it is 4 bolts for the pump assy and the hoses.

Make sure that you rule out the seal on the toilet. The duck bills are not too bad to replace but getting to them is hard unless you remove the exhaust tube. Maybe someone who has done the exhaust RnR could give some tips. I have heard it is a 2 person job. Once it is out, the tank and pumps...

Thanks Irie! I also edited my post with a suggestion from another forum that came up on a search.
