does it have a smartcraft?

my lcd screen died on my sc5000. anyone know of or have one they'd like to sell?

do you still have your sc5000?

thought i'd close this one out. we did the pressure test and there was a very small crack in the riser. replaced the riser and that engine is running better than ever! thanks for all the advice!

well - he feels because there is evidence of prior overheating that it is likely to be the head gasket. we'll also do some pressure testing. i'll let you know what the outcome is...

thanks for responding. i have not run it yet - was more concerned with causing bamage until i get to the bottom of the issue. i'll take some pics of the plugs and post what if find out next. the consensus seems to be compression testing.

i have 8.1 mercruisers. the stbd engine has been running increasingly rough lately and has only gotten about 3200 rpm for a while so i had the plugs replaced because the mechanic had stated before they were the wrong ones anyway. he came back and said 3 and 5 were water fouled. i dont know...

rondds, i know this is an old post but i recently bought the smart mini. any advice on the install? Did you use the wires from the existing display in place or run new wiring?

thanks for the response - guess i meant the salon couch...the curved one. there's a middle section that pulls out a bit.

how does the mid-cabin couch turn into a bed? when i bought my 360, i had basically no turn-over...just a 'keys are in it...congratulations' phone call from the broker so several of the usability features such as that are a mystery to us. same with converting the aft seating to a sun lounger...

http://www.searay-parts.com/ had to replace mine - gave them the sea ray part number.

Hooyah Navy term used as either a self-motivational expression or to indicate an answer of affirmative...which was what i was looking for from the wife during the months of deciding to purchase. speaking of which, anyone have some advice on removing the old name without damaging the gelcoat?

5oclocksw, did you have any other indicators of a problem? my stbd transmission is louder than the port and there's a vibration but i also have a cylinder that doesn't quite fire under load (waiting for a fuel injector and plug)... was going to see if that covered it.
