A great boat we have thoroughly enjoyed, however we are moving to something a bit bigger, so she has gotta go. The boat has been meticulously maintained with over 100k spent on upgrades and maintenance since 2018. These includes a full Garmin electronics package (navigation/radar/GPS VHF), FLIR...

Has been a great tender. Well cared for. Used but in good condition particularly because its Hypalon. The Tohatsu gets this RIB to and from shore quick. I can pull my 14 year old on a tube on plane no problem. This setup would cost you $8700 at Defender today. Asking $4500. Original order. In...

I have Cummins 6CTA mechanicals on my 2004 420DB and this season I have had an issue where the stbd engine oil pressure gauge at the helm will bounce. Sometimes it will register normal values, other times it will go to 0 and sit there a while before starting to work again. Obviously the first...

Our boat, 420 DB, is floating early this year but we are a tad cold as the salon AC is not working... it worked all last weekend but this weekend not so much. My wife decided to turn on both ac units but not the ac pump relay, and both ACs ran for an hour or so before I realized the mistake. I...

I have a 420DB with a new Sealift swim platform installed. The boat is new to me as of late last season. We sustained some storm damage last fall to our hydraulic swim platform and the whole system was replaced in the offseason and dropped in the water in May. I have noticed some...

We bought a 420 DB last year and the owner had just replaced the batteries with 4 group 31 wet deep cycles (2 on each bank). We do alot of anchoring in the summer, most weekends we are out at our favorite island harbor (Block Island). I doubt we will run the genny through the night or all day...

While changing my oil I noticed one of my coolant hoses off the heat exchanger was collapsed while not running. Once the engine warmed up after several minutes, and I assume the coolant warmed, the hose went to it's normal shape. It is really cold out and I might not think much of it if the...

We had nasty storms with 70mph gusts last night here in CT and unfortunately this is what my Sealift hydraulic platform looked like this morning. The marina said there were 3-4 ft waves crashing over the platforms of the boats facing southwest on the furthest dock out. And that's where I was...

Long time lurker here. I have had a Rinker 360 for many years and often used this forum as a resource to help a guy like me save a little money through effectively working on my boat. I certainly appreciate all the knowledge here and i look forward to paying it forward with what i have learned...

We surveyed a 420 DB today. The survey revealed a small moisture spot on the transom above the stbd trim tab but still below the water line. The moisture meter revealed a semi high reading but the percussive testing was perfect on this spot and the rest of the boat. The boat was out of the...

Well I changed the impellers on my 05 496 w/ bravo 3's and it wasn't all that bad. My engine bay gives pretty good access. A 10 Mm ratcheting wrench is your best friend for this job. I didn't bother to remove the hoses and just removed the front of the pump. 7 bolts (3 run through the securing...

Background, I have a 2005 Mercruiser 496 with Bravo 3's all with about 300 hours on them. 60/40 fresh to salt use throughout its life, but salt all the time now. I had the boat in for a bellows replacement due to a leak I finally tracked down at the bottom of the transom assembly. The...

Before I put on Clist I thought I would advertise here. I'm located in CT. First $700 takes it. Its been used for maybe 24 hours total. Its 2 years old and I bought it new. It has the reputation as the most reliable, quietest, 2000 watt portable genny out there.

We are planning out trip for 10 days in August leaving from old saybrook ct. The plan is to spend 3-4 nights in block island, 1 night in cuttyhunk and then we are up in the air. The thought is to head to possibly Menemsha as its a short run from Cuttyhunk and spend a night or two. Are their nice...
