This is my first boat with Garmin equipment and I'm confused by the charting options. I have two 8617's that I assumed had charting built-in but have also found evidence that a previous owner purchased chart cards, I can't recall if there is currently a card in the card reader. I was able to get...

Wanting to see if someone can lay eyes on a boat for me. No hurry.

Thinking about making VA Beach a stop on our vacation next year but not too familiar with the area. We've been to Norfolk and Hampton a few times. We will be traveling with a 50' sportfish with a 5' draft and a couple teenagers so we will need a pool since it will be June/July. It doesn't look...

Located in Chesapeake City, MD $399,000 One of the finest examples of a 480DB that you will find anywhere. This boat has been kept on the Chesapeake Bay it’s entire life and shed kept by a very knowledgeable hands-on owner for the last eight and a half years. Continuously upgraded and...

I’m trying to figure out a way to get my fuel tank levels onto my NMEA network while still leaving the analog gauges in tact. The issue is that my boat has the analog 4-in-1 gauges with 4 wires going into the back of it. I was told by Maretron that it is not possible to use the TLA100 with this...

I feel like this was just discussed in either the 480DB or 50/52 thread but I’m not having any luck finding the info. My salon door started making a clicking/grinding noise when opening or closing this weekend so I’m pretty sure the roller is on it’s way out. Does anybody have a link to the...

Helping a friend with a 2003 390MY with a master head door that is stuck/locked in the closed position. We assumed the door was locked from the inside at first but I'm confident something is broken inside the mechanism as I cannot get it unlocked and am familiar with the internal workings of...

This has been discussed in a few different threads lately so I logged my fuel burn, load % and EGT's this past weekend. I know some disagree but from personal experience, these EGT temps would be 50 F higher in the heat of summer. Air temp was around 60 with water temps at 70 yesterday. The...

Planning our summer trip and have decided to possibly head up the Potomac around mid July. My only Potomac experience is bringing our boat back from the Occoquan in 2014. Our first stop will probably be Solomon's so looking for 3-4 more choices. We like laidback places with a pool, restaurant...

My OEM 14 year old charger may be on it's last legs and I see that a lot of people are using the ProMariner ProNautic's. I also see a lot of failures and customer service complaints reported online, does anybody have good or bad experience with them? Looking at the 1250P model and I like the...

I’m planning on replacing the depth transducer that was connected to my SR Navigator that has since been removed. I have a NMEA2000 network so I was looking at the Airmar DT800 because I’d like to have redundant depth and add water temp, I don’t care about speed through the water or sonar...

I'm starting to plan our summer vacation and am looking for some new ideas for stopovers on the Lower Chesapeake. We're into laid back marinas with a pool and restaurant nearby and like to go exploring by dinghy in the evening. Here are some places that we've visited and liked to give you an...

Does anyone know what the gray composite material is that SR uses in cockpit cushions? I'm having my cockpit seat redone and we found that both pieces of this board are cracked. Does anyone know the brand name or where it can be purchased? It's not standard Starboard. Sent from my iPad...

Looking for a matched set of 20x24, 20x25 or 20x26 4 blade nibrals with 1-1/2 bore. Thanks

My RL80C freezes up after showing the black "Pathfinder" screen when I turn it on. The buttons will not function and the only way to turn it off is to cut power to the unit. Anyone ever seen this?

I have been looking for a used Jet Dock to keep my dinghy on behind my boat. During my search I came across a used Sportport at my marina that I can get for a few hundred bucks. Does anybody have any opinions or pros/cons on the Sportport? It's sitting on a trailer and has been since last...

I just got the new Sea Ray owners club email and checked out the SDmodelworks link. Since when does the 48 Sundancer have Bravo 3's? The 40 Sundancer model has them also... For as expensive as these things are you would think they would be more accurate.

I just received word tonight that one of my dockmates is missing and presumed to have fallen overboard sometime Thursday. He was an older single fellow that spent alot of his time working on other people's boats. It's believed that he fell in and possibly hit his head, with the cold water...

Can anybody help me out tonight? :smt100 Since this weekend is going to be a wash and the family has refused to go boating, I'm going to do some generator maintenance. Does anybody know what the coolant capacity of a Westerbeke 7.6 diesel generator is? My manual is on the boat and I want to...

I have pretty much settled on a 9.5 Baltik air floor from affordable inflatables on Ebay. I just wanted to hear from you guys that have had them for any length of time and see how they are holding up. I plan on using a 5HP 2-stroke Mariner (freebie!) and will just use it a couple of times a...
