New canvas folks!
Yes, I went for black as opposed to Sea Ray fawn.
Also put a zip-in bug screen on the large stern clear and a lined cover on the front windscreen and clear.

Looks Sharp, I like the wind screen.

Does anyone know the size or the distance between the mounting holes for the transom zinc. Keep forgetting to measure it

the divers dream or transom plate is slotted so as long as it's close you are good

5-inch C to C for both my 400DA and 52DB.
Typically called a B-12 Zinc.

I believe it's 4 per unit, although I use Carter's poopy powder and have never had to replace mine....

Does anyone know the bennet part number for the trim tab cylinders I’ve got the sea ray part number. I ordered a replacement from bennet but it doesn’t seem like the actuator arm extends as far as the others. The bennet number I ordered is sa2123a. Thanks.

I found it, after measuring the stroke of the others, the stroke is 2.5 inches. The bennet A1101a is the replacement.

 

[Saverio]

I’m boosted.

We arrived last night at our outstation for the weekend. I ran the generator for the 90 minute run and switched it off when shore power was connected. Today doing my engine room inspection I found milky looking oil on the generator dipstick... How Fu**** am I ? Possible scenarios please.
