Hello. Does anyone know where I can get a hose kit for these engines?

We are currently without a swim ladder on our 86’ OA 42 Sedan. We have a glass swim platform setup with a Weaver Davit for a 9’ rib. My wife’s desire is to acquire a larger rib with a steering wheel instead of the motor steering it’s set up with now. Keeping that in mind, what swim ladders do...

Hey Portage_Bay, - I’m chuckling.. thinking about mounting a larger than 24” at the helm, time will tell. I’m definitely more used to heading up orientation currently. I’m so eager to get out there and play with the boats equipment. I count myself fortunate to have a bunch of helpful...

Hey Chris- I’ve reached out to the marine electrician the previous owner used , I’ll be adding that to the list of items to look at. Point taken, “old doesn’t mean, bad”. I should’ve said I want functioning and looks of this decade, lol. I was thinking that being able to overlay would be really...

Hey Portage_Bay. The surveyor said the radar wasn’t energizing. I have been leaning towards stand alone units simply due to what I’ve read about how busy the screen can become, especially radar. I appreciate you sharing your strategy, it’s a lot to digest.. Thank you.

Ok, sure would give me more screen real estate- Yes, that is the one. We inquired about that Hershine too, but “someone” tied it up. She looks to be in real nice shape, hope everything works out for you.

Hey AquaAura- Yes, we plan to stay local until we acquire enough experience and confidence to travel further out. Currently use Avionics on my phone and we have a stand alone depth sounder Thanks for your response.

Hey Pete- My wife and I have decided to go new. Appreciate your input on not needing to go top notch.

Hey Simi60- Thanks for sharing your thoughts and setup, I will definitely research those.

Hey Comodave, Thanks for your input. You and Chris I see are on the same page. Throwing this out there for you all… I can work with the chart plotter, especially since I have Navionics, but a couple days ago we were out and got caught in a low marine layer here in Puget Sound. First time for...

Hey Chris- Thanks for your input. That was definitely the other side of the coin, I like the idea of sitting on what we have to see what our real needs will be. I was so ready to jump in and switch things up because it’s new to us. I feel like now I can just focus on the ER solely.

Creative, thanks Sibernut

Thanks for you input, rslifkin

Hello all. The boat we’re closing on is currently set up with a Garmin 2010c plotter, a separate datamarine depth indicator, and a RayNav 570 unit. I am a novice at all this, so I don’t know what I don’t know. Staying in Puget Sound (protected waters) for probably a couple years before...

Thanks everyone for your kind regards, let’s not light the Cubans just yet. Just offered on her today, so fingers, toes, legs, and eyes crossed.

Hello all. We are looking at our first boat purchase, an OA 42 sedan. I have found helpful info here and decided to drop in.
