April 24, 2008:Sunseeker Yachts: Sunseeker Yachts of the UK have recently acquired a hefty piece of equipment in the form of a travel lift. As Sunseeker builds larger vessels, they need the versatility to maneuver these larger yachts in and around the yard.

For this they invested in a 260 tonne Travel Lift. It can handle vessels up to 47M long and 260 tonnes. With a larger compliment of vessels in development the new travel lift will see its purpose put into stride.

I have looked at both boats. According to most of the listings, both boats weigh 63,800 lbs. The 64 is 66'11" LOA with a beam of 16'3"; 62 is 64'4" LOA with a slightly wider beam of 16'5".

According to Sunseeker info, with the same Man V10-1100 engines, the 62 looks to be a more efficient hull - burns less fuel with a better range at cruise RPM. Anyone have first hand knowledge of the ride comparison between the two boats assuming similar engines.

Also, how does the 64 run with the...

I am the new owner of a 1999 Sunseeker Manhattan 48. I'm getting to know the boat but am a little perplexed by the warning lights on the helm.
The fist two seem easy enough; Water Temperature and Oil Pressure. And the third one might be Oil Temp? but the fourth one I have no idea.
If anyone has any ideas what these warning lights are for I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thank you,

Bonjour,

So we have a 115 Sport powered by MTU 2000 series V16's

Sludge (waste fuel oil) tank has four engine connections to it and one from the fuel polish unit.
There is a pump out port (with a QD connector) on a pickup tube (as expected) and *a tank vent that is on a welded bung that has an pickup tube as well.

Now that is what I am wondering about, that tank vent on the other pickup tube. How does that work and is it the correct application???...

Hi everybody!

I'm hoping someone here can help me out.. I have a Sunseeker Superhawk 48' (1999) and there is an awful smell that I can't seem to get rid of.

Insights:
  • Horrible stench from inside the boat cabin and cockpit.
  • When the engine turns on, it seems like the smell gets worse.
  • Boat hasn't been used very much in two years.

Has anybody here ever experienced something like this - or have any suggestions to help resolve this issue?...

We are considering a 2018 Sunseeker Predator 50. We have not travelled to see the boat yet, but from the photos and videos it appears that the windshield frame just forward of the helm is very low, and we are concerned that the visibility from the helm may be limited compared to other coupe-type boats in this size range. In particular, we have seen videos of operators running with the sun roof open and sticking their head out the top to see. For those who own or run a Predator 50, can you...

This is for a 1997 51' Sunseeker Camargue. We have a strong odor and want to investigate hoses, sensor wires connections etc. but can not locate the Tank. From schematics it appears to be under the floor at the bottom of the stairs to the salon. The previous owner had a new hardwood floor installed and I am wondering if the access hatches were covered over, or were the stairs suppose to be removeable. The same goes for the water tank access (there is none). Although 4 other access hatches...

bad solenoid could be the answer but it seems like it’s a cutoff instead.

We have a 2017 Sunseeker Manhattan 55. The rain showers used to flow great, but now the flow has been reduced to a drip. Water pressure throughout the boat including the hand showers is very good, but when you pull the stopper to initiate the rain shower, there seems to be some sort of blockage, which is occuring the same way in both showers. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts on how to fix this? The rain shower is recessed in a ceiling panel, so not clear how to remove it. Thanks in...
