    original anchor size - '96 Sea Ray 230 SS BR

    Hello, When I purchased our 1996 230 there was no anchor in the locker. I purchased a 8.5 lb Fluke Style Anchor. I am wondering what the original anchor was and if the 8.5 is enough anchor? We typically boat in lakes, so it has always worked fine for us - but we've been talking more about...

    fresh air vent for engine - 230 Signature

    Noticed one of the fresh air vents had come loose from the vents below the sunpad. I had never really looked at them that close... but, this one seems to just terminate near the base of the engine... is that normal? Photo below... where I am shining the flashlight, you can see the end...

    prop suggestions for a '96 sea ray 230 sig select

    We use our boat for tubing and cruising. I am looking for a new propeller. I currently have the OEM stainless steel propeller. I am thinking about the Turning Point Propeller 21501530 Aluminum Hustler Propeller. Anyone have any experience or suggestions?

    Swim platform addition on 230

    Do they make a flush mount deck for a 230? The 220 in the video has the same design lines, and the swim platform is a step down... I'd rather see something like what is in your original post.

    Battery drain

    I am pretty sure it is a dodgy bilge pump switch.

    Battery drain

    I'm having problems with a slow battery drain on my '96 230. I don't have a master switch on the battery. At first, I thought maybe I had left something on... like the radio or fan. But, that isn't it Any suggestions on what might be the culprit?

    Lake Delton (Wisconsin Dells)

    I see that this is an old post, but thought I'd still pipe in... Lake Delton is fine, a very convienent lake for the Dells. However, Castle Rock Lake to the north offers a lot more. We really enjoyed boating there... just make note of how shallow many of the coves get. We ended up getting...

    You are correct, I checked with the factory and '96 230s have all composite stringers.

    Self-leveling tabs ?

    I was wondering who has installed Bennett SLTs on thier boats? I have a 230, and am wondering how useful these are - in practicality? Looking for some real world perspective from folks. Thanks!
