Hello, I am a licensed master captain who has had 12 boats through my life. I have a 2017 M-45 which I really enjoy. I live in St. Petersburg, FL, which has the Gulf of America. My boat takes the waves pretty good for the size of it. I used to live in NAS Pax River Naval air station when I was young and did a lot of sailing on the Chesapeake. Your boat should be fine on those waters. The only thing I don't like about the M-45 is that all the seating is on pretty much one side, so the boat is always listing when you have 6 to 8 people on it. I had to have trim tabs added to the boat to correct listing. Listing is not safe riding. Tim

My walk through glass space has gotten bigger for some reason and when in choppy waters the flexing of the hull make drop through and get jammed. What causes this and how do you realign the door.

I added custom SeaDek to my swim platform and head compartment and then had a very capable canvas shop make a custom cover to protect the exposed SeaDek from weather and son.

Is the 377 Mag 320HP engine adequate for a 2012 Monterey 280 SCR?

Greetings all, I would like to install a depth finder/chart plotter on the dash of my 2003 282 CR. Was just wondering if anyone has pictures that they are willing to share of their installation? Also, did you install a thru-hull transducer and how was it routing the cables? Thank you!

Maybe the wrong place for this but i have found it very hard to find the part numbers etc for my Monterey 265 engine the Yanmar 6LPA-STZP. After alot of looking i came across these and thought that maybe there is guys/girls out there who are in the same boat( no punt intended ) where they find it hard to get part numbers etc. These are blown out manuals with every part numbered.... I also have come across a manual with the full strip down of engine step by step and changing out parts step by step. Let me know if it is worth posting also. 2001 YANMAR PARTS MANUAL.pdf 2007 YANMAR PARTS MANUAL 2025.pdf -
I tested the 2018 Monterey fs 204 with 188 hours on 1-15-2025 and the boat ran beautifully. About the boat and a trailer we loaded it and drove 4 and 1/2 hours home. Two days later we tried to use the boat and it will not crank. When you turn the key to the on position all the gauges work and come on and it shows voltage for the battery around 12 on the gauge but the boat will not start but what is weird is when turn the key on you get all the gauges but then when you turn it to start there's no clicking ticking or anything. It reminds me of if you have the boat in gear or the lanyard not connected. The key basically does nothing is performing like that. We've checked the lanyard. We've changed the throttle. I was also told it could be a starter wire coming from the key to the starter relay that could be loose or went bad. Anyhow would be appreciated. I do have a video with sound if you can check it out. https://youtu.be/2Yv1ONDX9Y4?si=jsKpiHqIi_b1jLOT

Overhead clearance for 2004 298 SC on trailer?
Yuliana-81 replied to Lake Mead Monster's topic in Technical Discussion
Good morning, Do you happen to have a copy of the Declaration of Conformity for this vessel? I am registering one in Spain and Capitania maritima is asking me at least for a copy of the same model even if it is another boat so they can see the specifications of this model. The one I have is also from 2004. Best regards -
I recently brought a Monterey 302 in the UK. i have a windscreen motor that works but there is no arm or blade. Does anyone know a suitable replacement? Thanks for your help. Andy.

I thought, the "service soon" alert during the start of the motor is not avoidable, if you habe a Mercruiser without catalysator. You cannot quit this alert with any device.That´s my information.

Good morning I have a problem to register a Monterey 298 SC, they don't accept the declaration of conformity of this boat because it doesn't bring Date and signature of the issuer Maximum passenger capacity Maximum load allowed Does anyone have this document where this information comes out? Greetings

Hello all, first time poster so please be gentle. Needing guidance, i want to clean my 2004 265CR fuel tank but the access is very limited. Is this tank sealed with no access points and if so what would be the best way ( without trying to remove the tank) to clean the diesel tank. I was looking at cutting an opening on the top around the fuel pick up lines etc and then once finished plate it out along with the original piece i remove fitted back in place securely with screws/gaskets etc to make it leak free. The tank is plastic. There is approx 6 to 7 inches available on the top wide to work on and the rest disappears behind the bulk head. I am hoping someone can give me guidance on this as i dont want to make a mess of things. Sorry, only going into my 4th year boating, so still a lot to learn. You can see pic 3 where i would plan to cut to get access,, ( not my engine bay but the same from another 265cr )

Roswell and Monterey have been no help. I've just started removing the bad areas and doing touch-up repainting. Eventually I'll remove the tower and have it repainted but hopefully the patches will work for the next couple of years.
