Sea Ray 410 Startup Procedure

In this video, we walk through our startup procedure for our Sea Ray 410. We’ll talk about critical steps and things we have done to make it quicker to get underway. Then we will go on a quick timelapse of our quick trip from Son Rise Marina to Huron.

98 400DA gas here. I’m gone in the time it took you to turn off the switches. 😄 Honestly you did everything by the book and to new boaters there’s nothing wrong with teaching the proper techniques especially nowadays. Been boating since a baby. My technique: I turn on battery breaker to run fridge, run blowers and start. Then unplug the shower power in the transom locker and throw the ropes. To each their own!

Aspiring boater here, great video

[@SCFoster]

Have a 2000 380DA that is virtually identical. Have yet to splash the boat since it was trucked up to Maryland from Florida. Your video was helpful, thanks.

[@shoopsdostuff]

You’re welcome! Enjoy your 380, the classic SeaRays are such amazing boats!

[@garycotz563]

Good video. I captain a 360 SeaRay and I use the same steps. It's a bit tedious and SeaRay doesn't give you a cheat sheet. Good job.

I think you are overdoing it here amigo

[@kengamache8796]

Newbie here. Thanks

[@donwood7700]

I want to hear those engines!

[@shoopsdostuff]

Right?! They’re amazing!

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

Why turn off each individual AC relay followed by the main, Couldn’t you just turn off the 2 mains?

[@shoopsdostuff]

Yes, but I like to slowly enable each load when re-powering to shore power. Just personal preference.

[@mattgg1216]

Hey, guys. This boat is Amazing. I know you sold it, one question. What’s the inside height, I’m 6’4. Thx

[@shoopsdostuff]

Thanks! Yeah, we are missing it this Spring already. I don’t have the exact height but my Dad is 6’3” and had no issues walking around in the cabin or at the helm.

[@mattgg1216]

@@shoopsdostuff thx for the quick reply. I am sure you miss it, amazing boat, your vids are great

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

just wondering why you wouldn't just shut off the main breakers for ac voltage after shutting the ac down?

[@shoopsdostuff]

Great question, I like to slowly re-apply the load from each individual breaker rather than powering everything up at once from the main breaker. Just personal preference.

[@marksimmons7721]

What is your shore power set up? A 50 amp to boat with two 30’s on a y hooked to boat?

[@shoopsdostuff]

Yes, exactly that. It allowed us to run only one cord to the boat.

[@corvetteguy1980]

8.1L V8s?

[@shoopsdostuff]

No, 7.4 V8s

[@gerardrusso9642]

just a tad overkill

[@blewyd]

This isn't overkill at all. It's being a smart boater who cares about his boat. You can do what you want on your boat, probably keeping the mechanic busy.

You need to speak up
