Wow, it looks really neat. I bet you have a helm cover for it , the old stuff looked a bit sunburnt . Thanks for digging up the photos. My original systems monitor is temperamental hence the interest. Seems there are nice and simple little red led options out there , as opposed to breaking...

Nice. Am interested to see your lights and buzzers setup. Did you make your own panel or something ?

My 1996 400db had line 1 shore power converted to 240v for Australia before I bought it. I have figured out just about everything as to how it works, a sweet combination of the original 110v generator and 110v appliances , as well as 240v sockets and a hunk of an isolating transformer that can...

I posted this recently on a generator install in a different boat type. It might give you some ideas on a gantry. Post in thread '40 sedan bridge forum' https://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/40-sedan-bridge-forum.53961/post-1452573

Will you need to take the boat on one engine anywhere, there’s something about jury rigging cooling on the drip less to stop overheating on the shaft not in use

Hi, did you resolve this. My monitor stops working sometimes, I suspect voltage sensitivity , but I may have to remove it to have a look. Whether wiring on my 400 is similar I don’t know but I can photo it if you think it will help you

If it was behind the tv it’s not now, no remnant of it. Maybe it’s below the tv box floor. (I’m turning that tv box into a cupboard as per your solution with a flat screen swinging out on the door)

Guest cabin A/C. Anyone know the route the air takes from the unit under the master bed to the outlet in the guest cabin. I get nothing , I suspect the PO removed that ducting or impeded it when he put a steel tube in as part of an added crane on the foredeck . I just wanted to check if it’s...

I’ve seen a few posts on this over the years , some say loosen off the mounts and rotate the unit to get access, I suggest search this thread for Westerbeke Impellar

I use none also, at least not any I can notice , and except the time I left the dip stick not properly seated back in engines get light use only

Out of interest when you say wired into generator output, do you mean you wired into an existing generator circuit Dc to dc setups apparently have a loss factor in terms of lost energy, but only purists care I think

Did you resolve this. On my 400 the primer to starboard is close to the crankcase breather, on port it’s near the forward bulkhead above the fuel filter . I.e searay made sure they are accessible for both engines

thanks all, Shell Rimula is a thing. As multigrade is now acceptable and as I have a non aftercooler set of 3116s, I reckon multigrade is the way to go for me, with all its fan dangle claims about engine life extending etc. And suddenly the infamous Rotella I read so much about seems to be an...

Ah I see. Hopefully you don’t have screws because the fasteners broke :)

btw 2nd inline muffler I assume is fine for Gas but I read somewhere it's not recommended by Westerbeke for Diesel because of back pressure.

cool, i think i get it?, the vertical trim strips look to be pop off, as I cant see any screws , the bottom ones are screwed

The oil discussion CAT DEO, SAE etc has been well and truly hammered and were I in the USA I would have all the answers . Here in Australia for my 3116 the CAT oils are available and are an option I may well chose. But to compare, I wondered what other Australian (and maybe NZ ) owners are...

You’ll see marinas full of Rivieras and the like as they can go out further than your potential searay. In close to coast short trips the searay I expect will be fine. Get vhf licence and marine licence and ais and all safety gear epirb etc anyway I suggest. Make sure the range is enough for...

I agree, the Boogaboo videos on searay hatch and window reseals I am sure i will use one day. iMHO I wouldn’t use his gel coat polish technique, and looking at the pin stripe removal video I might not try that , looks fraught .

Thanks Bill, next time on the boat I’ll gingerly get in there and have a go, hopefully the guest cabin roof won’t give way under my 82kg
