Ooooh! Nifty! Thanks, hadn't found anything in the boat material! Looks like that'll help a lot!

5) Do both: replace the original regulator with the current Jabsco product (access will not be easy), repair the washdown spigot (needs doing anyway), and then usually bring city water aboard via the spigot using a Camco/Valterra (or similar) on the supply hose. Water pressure would usually increase a lot, this retains backflow prevention on the actual city water inlet, and leaves the boat in improved-near-original condition.
Anyone have a model or part number for the Bosch alternator on a 2006 MAN CRM 900 my data plate was removed and painted over on both alternators.
We put SeaDek on our 52DB. I absolutely love it. We went with the dark brown with the teak pattern. It was about 7 Boat Bucks, but well worth it, in our opinion.
Our boat came with AquaTraction installed.
a friend of mine purchased an L 650 fly in April of this year - it is a great boat with all the bells and whistles but i think all in all the 58 is the best all around boatThank you all for your feedback. This is the best owners board
- hands down.
We ran TBIV 250 miles last weekend....down the Potomac and up the Chesapeake to Cambridge MD and return.
Steep 4’ on the bay with spray over the hard top Friday morning (NOAA Forecast winds NW @ 7, seas 1-2‘ ) and the old girl kicked ass. Backed down to 14 knots and had a comfortable ride north.
Such a shame that Sea Ray lost sight of quality control and pissed away owner loyalty with the L Series.....but 58s in my year are listed in the mid $600s
Who would have thought.....

Ken - same thing happened to me but we were running home from Galveston - completely lost steerage - we ordered a new unit $3300 plus install - all good now -So an update for all of the 58DB people. A month ago on a somewhat short trip to Southseas, Our steering cylinder sprung a major leak. After our week stay, we tried to leave, but literally had no steering. We had to be towed back 4.5 hours to our house. Thank God for Seatow!
Seastar was sold to Dometic, who sold all of their patents and licenses to Boat Steering Solutions, LLC (BSS, LLC) in North Naples.
My mechanic said he would replace the seals. I purchased $250.00 in seals, reinstalled, and during purging, sprung another leak. Called BSS, LLC, who told me there is a zero percent chance that replacing the seals would fix a leak. The cylinder rack must be remanufactured. Around $1,600.00. I wish they would have said that when I purchased the seal kits.
I took it up to them, and basically after a week received a "new" steering rack.
Purging is a two person job, but is pretty easy.
We are back on the water after a month!!

Thanks for posting - i will take a look - you made it easy - thanks againI'll throw in here if you don't mind. Don't confuse brightness with color temperature. I have replaced all lamps on the boat sans engine room with LED. For the three inch recessed lights in the cabin I kept the temperature to no more than 3600 degrees Kelvin and matched the lumens (brightness) to the halogens and for the heads 5000 degrees Kelvin (more towards sunshine). These are the lamps from Marinebeam.com I installed for the living areas https://store.marinebeam.com/9-led-back-pin-g4-smd-power-cluster-novi-bp-g4-09x/
Very happy with them.
i did not need to purchase a new lock set - the one key that came with the boat opened the door but when you made a duplicate key it would not work - took the lockset out and took it to a locksmith and he knew immediately that i had the wrong blank for the key - just purchased 3 keys made with the correct blank and put the lockset back in -- all goodSo you got the entire lock set for $108? Wow!! Was that the interior guts of the Taylormade Handle/lock assembly?
If so, I may make a trip to Houston!!
I took that door off 4 years ago by myself - that was a bear of a job!!
Yes we are - they are replacing sections - it was so cool yesterday we decided to take a sunset cruiseWe saw you checking out the 650 yesterday evening as we were getting off our boat heading over to Lakewood. Are you getting new eisenglass for the front section, noticed it had been removed?
I've taken the screen/filter out of the galley faucet -- at the sprayer attachment end -- and cleaned that... Is there also a screen/filter somewhere earlier on in that connection? Somewhere down under the galley sink? Or...? The galley sink is where we have the least water flow with city water only... just slightly more than dribble...
@ranger58sb
Regarding your galley sink, ours too was basically down to a drip. If yours is a Grohe, there is a quick disconnect under the sink/behind the access panel.
It should be this:

I had called Grohe and they pointed me at this. I bought a new one, and did replace it, but it turned out my original one had some(LOTS of) activated charcoal in it I guess from the PO and the whole house filter. It made a big difference in the flow out that faucet.
Well, I have a few projects on hold for a couple of days: Still troubleshooting the dismal, abysmal, anemic, underwhelming waterflow at the galley sink.
