    Spot Light Controller

    Can someone please tell me where the spot light controller is located on a 400ss? Also, is there an inline fuse near the controller separate from the push type breaker? My spot light will not turn on or move. Thanks for your help.

    Fresh Water Pump

    If my fresh water pump kicks on for a couple seconds every 15 minutes (when no water is being used), does that mean I have a fresh water leak?

    How much water?

    How much water drains out of your drain plug(s) after a day on the water? If you have more than one plug, please be specific on the amount of water for each plug. I typically have a couple cups that come out of the the engine compartment plugs, but can have a gallon or two come out of the...

    Boat Float Lifts

    Hmmm.... Where do I start... How about the brand PolyLift. Probably the best out there. Not cheap, but built strong. They are manufactured in MO and are distributed across the country. Not sure how much your boat weighs but you will need to size the size approximately 1.25 times the dry...

    Drive Coupler Maintenance

    From a previous thread link, I see that some drive/engine couplers are designed with a zerk fitting to grease the splines of the drive shaft and coupler. http://www.ebasicpower.com/c/MER6E/Couplings%20Couplers%20&%20Kits%20for%20Mercruiser Has anyone greased this fitting on their boat? If so...

    Safety First When Refueling

    This fall, my wife and I completed a Boating Safety Course offered by the Coast Guard. I learned in this course that a sniff test should be performed before starting the boat and after refueling. Another tip was to close all hatches, windows or doors when fueling and then open all hatches...

    Anchor Roller Replacement

    I replaced my anchor rollers on my 400ss over the weekend. This turned into more of a process than what I thought it would be. First of all, I ended up replacing all four rollers. Two of which were clearly broken (the chain was riding on the shafts/pins ), the other two were worn excessively on...

    Boat Size Verses Line Quantity, Size & Length

    Looking for feedback from anyone and everyone: What's the size or your boat and describe the lines you use (type, quantity, diameter, length)? I am looking at buying new lines for my 400, thinking of four (4) double braided, 5/8" diameter x ~25ft long lines for going out. Then, four (4)...

    Buff & Wax?

    Simple question: Do you buff and wax the textured surface on the top of your boat? Specifically, I am referring to walking the areas on the bow of my 400ss. Thanks!

    Air Conditioning Usage When The Boat Is On The Lift

    My boat stays on a hydro-lift when not in use and would like to know if anyone has a way to use the AC when the boat is out of the water. I considered making a custom hose that would connect to the water intake port but am unsure if the system would have enough suction to pull water from the...
