I am looking for a replacement walk through window for my 2002 Sea Ray Weekender. We had a tornado here on cape cod in July and my center window disappeared and no where to be found. Does anyone have a source? I am looking and looking and looking and nothing. Thank you in advance for your...

Yikes, Apparently there is a huge variable.....one dealer was $2100 another was$1140. That is new w/o Shipping

Thanks guys, There does not appear to be any damage to opening or hinge area. I have been quoted a little over $2000. For a replacement and have been contacting salvage yards. The boats value is around $18,000. so it is worth paying the 2 gs. I just thought it high and would try other sources.

Hi all, I am on Cape Cod and we had a couple Tornados run through here and I have some damage to my 2002 Sea Ray Weekender 225. The biggest need right now is a center walk through window. The storm not only took the Bimini off the boat however the window is gone and no where to be found. It may...

Paul, How about a center walk through window for a 2002 Sea Ray weekender 225. I am at robel55.rm@gmail.com. Thanks, Bob

With all due respect; Boat is no good without drive. While I understand condition of boat should be considered so should the sellers intention of concealing a serious issue that could cause harm. This is a family boat, not a fishing vessel.

Thanks guys for replies. Another look shows skeg damage. On Cape we see a lot of it however makes me wonder if they are both related. I guess I am concerned about taking next step at this point.

Good afternoon, I am hopeful someone has an answer. I am looking at a 2005 Sea Ray Sundeck. It is powered by a Mercruiser 5.0/Bravo 3. The outdrive can be moved by hand side to side about an inch or so. Can anyone tell me if that sounds correct? I seem to remember reading some where that 1/4...

Good morning all, I have a question related to a 2002 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI bravo 3. While putting it to bed for the winter it was hard starting and running rough. What should compression reading be? thanks in advance!

When I turn the key to the on position i wait a second or two as i do hear what I will assume is the pump. Were you thinking bad pump?

No; I checked

When I used the starting fluid the 1st time it stayed running. That was before I left for a few weeks. When I tried again and it wouldn't start, I used the starting fluid again. A few times it almost started. In fear of killing batteries I have talking with folks and researching problem. I will...

It is 5.0L MPI; engine OM325771. The only other thing I can include is it did sit for a few weeks while I was traveling. I can not put my finger on anything else that would cause a sudden change. I am also not a mechanic and I say that with all due respect. It is a rareaty to find a good, honest...

I am not sure of fuel system I have. Frankly never gave it a thought. Should not have been water in tank though as I used a small electric fuel pump and removed sending unit and sucked everything out with a extension to reach far edges of tank.

I hope all are well and having a great boating season. I need some advice on a starting issue. The problem originated I beleive from bad fuel and as a result plugs looked like a need for a change. I have a 2002 SeaRay weekender powered by a mercruiser 5.0 bravo 3. I pumped old fuel out and...
