    Damaged running gear

    I am coming to this thread very late. The only thing I did not see mentioned is that I believe these are tapered shafts. My 2000 410 had a shaft with a bad taper that took weeks to sort out. It seems to me that the shaft may not have been inserted all the way into the coupler OR there was a...

    Anchor rode for Goode windlass

    I had a Good Windlass on my prior boat, a Mainship. From what I read its best to buy the rode directly from Good Windlass. They are in New Jersey. Others may work but why take the chance.

    Credit card fraud

    I use Chase it gets compromised at least 1-2 times per year. I have never been responsible for any unauthorized charges so I am OK with their service. On the other hand my daughter had identity stolen and 3x permitted withdrawals from her account AFTER the fraud department was notified. We live...

    rear view camera

    A camera is good but for the situation described I doubt it would be helpful. You would need to have the video scree "on" instead of navigation, even in a window I would expect that generally being aware of your surroundings ans a quick look back would be the most effective way of navigating.

    Damaged running gear

    I wish they were that thick. Maybe on an old Mainship. I had to rebed the struts on my 2000 410 DA and that area is only about 1/2 thick

    410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread**

    Question about electrical settings when 410 left unattended. When you park a 410 DA and its not being used do you shut off battery switches or leave them on? I have done both. Last week I left the batteries engaged with shore power on and batteries engaged. All breakers (12v and 120v) were...

    According to my Diesel mechanic CAT now recommends a 200 degree thermostat. I just ran mine for 11 hours straight wit no issues whatsoever. I think its burning slightly cleaner but cant say for certain.

    Does the battery charger also charge the generator battery?

    Update: The battery was fine when I try to start or or engage the preheat the fuel solenoid clicks rapidly like the battery is low and voltage at the gen drops to 5v. I used a jumper cable from the neg battery to the generator frame and it turns over fine. So its definitely a bad ground. Can...

    Official Caterpillar3116/3126 Thread

    I thought I needed a shaft for my 410 a few weeks ago, it ended up being a bad coupler. I was quoted about $1800 per shaft.

    Transmission Repair Costs

    I just had two rebuilt over the winter. It was more of a T&M ordeal. One needed an output shaft (+550) in addition to the clutch pack. They were also upgraded to the new pump and solenoid setup (+1150 each side) also replaced the Dampers (+1000 each) and the oil coolers (+600 each). I didn't...

    410 Sundancer/Express Cruiser and 400 Sundancer/Express Cruiser **Official Thread**

    ttmott so on your 410 the System Monitor would alert when the shower sump was operating? I want to make sure I am understanding correctly. There are 3 bumps under the salon floor one for each shower inside of a sump box and a third in the compartment if those fail or overflow. It is not...
