Hey Guys, We bought this boat in May, prior boat for 8 years was a 22' Grady. It has the Cummins 5.9 QSB 355hp.  Loving everything about it so far.  There is stuff that needs attention for sure, but nothing crazy so far, and honestly I like working on it.  I'm about a 7/10 skill DIY guy, and I use the internet all the time to figure stuff out, finding old parts, etc.  Anyway, I have found some useful posts on this site and hoping to contribute my own.  There are other boat sites out there, but it would be great to have one place to go for all the things that pop up on our Tiaras.

The galley sink faucet handle on my 01 3800 Open has stopped working. When you remove the handle pressure is fine. Seems to be something on the backside of the handle, rubber trim, that allows you to switch back and forth on whether it’s a spray or stronger stream. Anyone familiar with a good replacement. Guessing it’s 1/2” where it connects to the flexible hosing. If anyone has replaced theirs and can advise it’s appreciated. They look like $40 on Amazon but not many have the 1/2” thread. I heard Tiara used Delta but I’m not sure. Thx in advance for  any guidance.

Hello 
I'm a new owner of 89 31 open hard top with yanmars 260hp
Was wondering what kind of fuel/ cruise speed I can expect 
I know we hit 30 knt at open throttle in a small channel but have not been to sea yet

I’m looking for my next boat and the 3900 Sovran is on my short list. I have never had a boat with an enclosed helm and I’m curious how hot the helm area is at anchor or at the dock. Do you normally run the generator and a/c at the helm or is there enough ventilation to be comfortable?  We are in north Texas and we see a lot of upper 90’s with several days above 100 during July and August.

It is my understanding that the 3200 Open is available with either a fold out bench or a live/bait well. I have been looking for one with a live well for a long time but could find one and finally bought one w/t a well and  am contemplating to remove the bench and add a live well instead. Has anybody tried that and can share know how & sources ? I contacted Tiara but they are not wanting to share the part drawing for the live well for my 13 year old boat. 

I live in Michigan and ideally would like to take a 3D scan of a Tiara made live well and have it rebuild by a custom glass shop. Would anybody be willing to allow me to take that scan ? It's contact less done with a handheld 3D lidar scanner like many laptops have today to read your facial scan for login assist. 

I am also open to another solutions. Please post a picture if you added a live well to 3X00 Open. 

Thanks for your help and pointers !

Have a Seakeeper 9 and just received a quote for roughly $1700 with taxes etc to perform annual maintenance including:

visual inspection of
electric and hydraulic systems, torque foundation
bolts to factory specs, replace hydraulic fluid and
pressurize system, inspect accumulators, glycol
flush, descale heat exchanger, replace zincs, flow
meter check, angle calibration, clean and wipe
down area

Anyone have any experience to share as to whether this is reasonable or not?

If you were to lose all power how do you lift the deck to access the engines?

I received an intake manifold temperature active alert.  Need help resolving this issue.  Its not seawater flow through the aftercoolers and I have new filters installed and still get the alert on the starboard engine only.  I swapped sensors and still got the rising temp on the same starboard engine.  Not sure what to do.

Anyone switched over the whole bank from AGM to Lithium?
