Good day all!

I’m looking at various mini yachts in the 30’ range and came across a 1993 280 Sedan. I’m trying to gather as much info as I can on the model and figured this a logical place to solicit knowledge, experiences and things to look out for in consideration of this particular vessel.

Thanks!

Mounted on a pole on the radar arch. Seems to have coax cable going to it.

Hello. I am a cash buyer ready to purchase your fresh water 36 Mariner NOW. I am not a dealer and will not be using a broker so no extra commission to pay. I am looking for a 2008-2011 Mariner with crusader closed cooling engines only as I will be boating in salt water. Thank You.

With such a large salon, I'm finding it difficult to move a sufficient volume of outside air through the boat. I recently added temperature, humidity & air quality sensors (PM25 & VOC), and can clearly identify when VOCs -- presumably from the engine room -- are finding their way into the salon. I'm going to continue searching for explanations for the source of the VOCs, but once they're in the air, the only fix is running a large box fan from th ...

Just thought I'd share. The existing hoses were clearly permeated & smelly. Decided I didn't need the overboard discharge, which eliminated another run & pump.

Stateroom now smells of fresh rubber, but 0% holding tank odor. Excellent!

Just read an article showing $7 a gallon and even higher for diesel in California. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/c ... some-pumps

Was fortunate this year as our marina had the lowest prices in the area by far all summer. Gas was 2.17/l and diesel was 1.95. As residents of the marina we all get a 10% discount so in my case diesel was $1.76/l ($4.93 US/G) . First time ever that I did not fuel up in the US since it was not worth it. Used to be a substantial s ...

I had a survey done buy a reputable surveyor in our area for insurance. He advised that I should have a shaft alignment done. He advised that he saw an irregularity in the gaping around the cutlass bearing. To the best of my knowledge, it has been a while since one had been done. I spoke to the mechanic at our marina and he advised that he agreed with the surveyor.



The mechanic went onto my boat yesterday and commenced the shaft alignment process. When he removed the bolts from the couplings ...

Hello All,
I am new to boating and as a month ago became an owner of a 33 Aft Cabin (diesel, Volvo Penta Kamd-42A). I am trying to locate the switches for the courtesy steps leading down to the aft cabin. There is also a switch inside the rear deck shower hatch for lights. When I flip those switches, nothing happens. Any thoughts on where the mystery switch is?

On our boat the removable molded plastic panels that allow access to the bow from the bridge have developed cracks. Does anyone know if there are replacements available. Thanks

After becoming Handicapped I was forced to sell our Regal Commodore 42 and replaced it with a 1996 Carver Santego 380 SE. I am very impressed as this boat is Handicap Friendly since I can get to everything mechanical and especially able to get to the bow from the Helm through the walkway opening in the bridge.
