    Reviews on other forms list the SEI warranty as pretty **** good.  I'm not sure if they still have a no questions asked warranty.  It used to be a drive they'd take back if you break the foot on a rock,  minus your shipping charges 
    I don't know about that warranty- I bought two trim rams and could not get them to stop leaking. I'm not sure how the vonnection is machined but when you look at the bottom of the mating surface to the hose, it was a tad off. I ordered two more thinking I somehow screwed them up and cc continued to follow up with them but never got an answer...

    I don't have first hand experience, I read some reviews on the hull truth that were very favorable. Those guys are quick to put down anything.

    Does SEI make a B3 replacement? I don’t see one on their website.
    They have bravo iii:

    That’s good that they have one. I clearly missed it. I would for sure consider it for the price.

    Quick updates and new question: We plugged the hole/s, one with this pipe plug and a smaller one with a wine cork. see photo. My question is about the 3rd hole below the pipe plug. This looks like a water cooling entry. Anyone know if this is correct and do I need to plug this too before dropping it in the water to tow to marina?

    Can't believe they stole if off the boat on the lift. Those drives are not light. Can you see the bottom below the water? Sure they didn't drop drive once they got it off?

    The bottom one is the exhaust. It has risers on the inside of the boat, so you will be good.

    Thanks Cableguy! Capt. Kevin, we thought the same thing. These guys were in a dingy at best. It is 12 feet deep and brackish water. We have used fishing magnets and only caught an old hammer. My son is certified scuba instructor so we will dive for it in a couple of weeks.

    Like the dumb a$$ that stole by dash  - 2006 mind you. Faria gauges but rather than undo the dash, pull the panel and UNPLUG the dang thing he just cut the wires..crackhead. what could it have been worth " on the street", 50 bucks?

    I'd love to start keeping my boat at a covered slip.  Trailer launching and keeping it stored in the driveway saves me 3800 a year.  


    Which is about the price for a 7 day VRBO deep canal home rental with private pool.   


    Knock on wood my biggest loss to thieves when I kept the sailboat on a mooring was an inflatable raft, box of Debbie cakes and someone crapped in the porta potty without flushing.  None of the liquor bottles were touched so I figured it had to be kids.  

    Saw my soft bottom raft in the basement of one of the neighborhood houses when they left their garage door open one evening while walking my dogs.  Walked in and took it back.  Didn't find any of my bungee straps I used to keep it strapped down to the deck.




    Had a mooring break after a bad wind storm one Thanksgiving weekend.   Went down to check on the boat as I did every weekend back then and it was gone. Panicked, I launched the parents jet ski and found it a few coves down where someone tied it off to some roots.   I did keep a large chain and pad lock around the outboard where they'd have to either cut the chain or outboard bracket off to steal the 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke.   


    I really like having the boat just a few steps from my back porch.

    Sorry for the late reply. I originally had a 22" lens on my 350 MAG with a 2.20:1 ratio, the old version with 3-3 blades. Since we're always traveling with a heavy load, I switched to a 21" lens with 4-3 blades from Solas last year. Regards, Peter
    Best Regards from Cologne send´s Peter .
