    Does anyone know what this extra SS vent is for? The first one is for my water tank, but the second one is not in the manual. It dripped a little water out of today, and I have no idea what it is connected to.

    I am curious about the water manifold upgrade you are doing. Please send pics when it is completed.

    I got another sweet picture while driving the other day! It’s pretty cool to see the 510 from a different view.

    This has been a concern of mine ever since I bought the boat. I would assume you will have to remove the front doors off the fridge/freezer, and pehaps anything that is easily removable off the back of the unit. You may also want to see if someone can rebuild the current unit if it is in good...

    AntiFreeze QSM11's

    This is interesting. I just winterized my 2003 510 and 16 gallons of Antifreeze never made it to the exhaust port. However, the mufflers were full of antifreeze when I drained the mufflers. However, my 510 has a main exhaust line that goes out the bottom of the boat near the front of the...

    New question: has anyone here had to install a step up transformer 208 to 240? My AC units constantly kick off due to “low AC” when I visit certain marinas. The control panel shows 206-210V depending upon the day. My main Marina has 240V everyday, but I guess this Marina is wired with 208 3...

    It was definitely not cheap to haul due to the height. Hard top came off pretty easy, but hours of unwiring and wiring to get it ready. I had two quotes and they were both almost 20K just to haul from Missouri to KY. I love the boat! It handles great, easy to maneuver, and just very...

    Just bought this 2003 510 earlier this summer. Looking forward to communicating with this group! I bought the boat from LOTO and moved it to Lake Cumberland in KY. QSM11 motors with just under 1300 hours. A gentlemen on our FB group took this photo last week!

    540 vs 510 Ride

    Full out of water survey was performed. Everything looked really good other than a couple small dings on a blade or 2. Cummins performed full motor survey, and they had the computer hooked up to the motors during the sea trial. No issues founds by Cummins. I will say it was only about 40...

    540 vs 510 Ride

    I am taking her out this weekend. I should know more then. Perhaps I can idle somewhere closer to 700. The motors at 650 were not happy. Motor plates say idle for these motors are 550-800. If I have to keep them at 780, I can always use one motor when idling. We will see. I’ll update you...

    540 vs 510 Ride

    I know this thread is old, but I just purchased a 2003 510 with QSM 11’s. The owner was idling the motors at 650 rpms and the boat vibrated like crazy when in gear. The next day the mechanic and I took the idle up to 780, and everything smoothed out. Does anyone else park and idle at 780-800...

    Refrigerator Replacement

    I installed the Nova Kool 3 weeks ago. So far it is very quiet and working well. I love the refrigerator being on top with the freezer below.

    Refrigerator Replacement

    The Isotherm looks nice, but it is 2" narrower than my cut out. It looks likes the nova-Kool or Vitrifrigo are my top choices. I think I actually have room for the Nova-Kool 9000 model. 9.1 cubic ft of room! Thanks for all the help.

    Refrigerator Replacement

    Thanks for the advice. Definitely going with a 110/12V system. I thought the nova-kool looked good due to more storage space for the same size fridge. I will check out the other brands recommended. Already pulled my fridge out to inspect cut out size. A lot simpler than the newer boats!!

    Refrigerator Replacement

    I have a 1991 420 Sea Ray Sundancer. I am looking to replace the refrigerator. Has anyone put a Nova-Kool refrigerator in their boat? I know most boats us Norcold, but I leaning towards the Nova-Kool. Any thoughts?
