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.

I heard a rumor last week that 2019 might be the last year for the 400ss... anyone else hear this?

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 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...

All, i bought the parts a while back and finally installed them this past week. It works. My boat gets stored on a lift and the problem I was losing AC system prime when lifting the boat out of the water. After lowering the boat to go out, I would have to open the bleeder valve which is...

Looking for feedback on a suspected AC problem. i started the system over the weekend. Outside air was around 80 degrees, water temp was low 60's. The system ran for about an hour (74 down to 70) before it stop blowing cold air. Water continued to discharge from the system and side of the...

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...

Does the Formula Vacu Flush head system allow back washing after pump out to flush the tank?

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...

Has anyone added the anchor wash down to their 370ss or 400ss? I contacted Nick at TAG and he stated the materials to add the system is around $225. I would like to know how in depth the install is before I buy the parts.

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...

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...

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)...

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!

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...

I used the following link to estimate my trips so far this year: http://www.freemaptools.com/measure-distance.htm Using this tool, I estimate that I am averaging 1.1X gallons per mile on my 400ss with Merc 502 Mags. Does anyone know of another measurement tool they like to use? And, does this...

I purchased a 2000 400ss and would like to get feedback from other owners on the condition they leave their boat when away for a week or two. I have shore power but am reluctant to leave things on when gone. I understand the battery charger can cook the batteries if left on all the time when not...

Just bought my 400ss with Merc502's. The previous owner was running synthetic oil in the engines. I believe 5w-30, which seems little light compared to the straight 40w the dealer recommends. For those of you runny synthetic engine oil, what weigh and brand do you use? Thanks!

My anchor chair storag compartment drain hole is clogged on my 2000 400ss. I tried gently using a coat hanger and weed eater string but no luck, and did not want to get forceful with the hanger. I also tried a water pressure from a garden hose but gave up maybe soon fearful of shooting water...
