Dave, I have the same problem right now with mine. I have eliminated the washing and leaks from the windows and the rails as a source. The fresh water appears to be the source of the problem. I will be interested to see if you can find the fix. So far nothing I have tried works. Check your...

Great job. These boats are too large not to have a decent anchor system.

Where is the best source for pads and which pads do you use for different applications.

Sorry about that, we were out boating all weekend. Should be room now. Thanks in advance. Any help will be apprecitated. Got to love the Thanksgiving Weekend cruises.

Mark V, would you mind giving me a ring to get some details on how you got your seat fixed? I'm getting the MM run around.

MM spoke to Searay and they are saying they never heard of this before. We checked with your MM dealer and they didn't know either but were looking into it. Do you have any more details that I can share with them to narrow their focus?

Well, I sent MM the good news this morning so we will see how that works out. There are so many things that there are solutions for and you would hope the dealer would at least have a clue as to some of the problems you encounter. I guess if you own a Sea Ray its DYI boating; and of course all...

This is exactly the problem!!!!! Everytime I wash the boat I end up with a pool of blood around the bench seat on the deck. Marine Max told me there was nothing they could do.

I will post a picture when I get home tonight. It comes from under the seat.

My helm bench seat leaks stained water everytime I clean the boat. I think it comes from some wood that is used to support the bottom of the bench. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

Get the better stuff. As someone said it cost about $575 for two pieces. They sell the SS snaps you need, just count the number you have now and add it to the order form. They will send you the tool to install them and you just send it back when you are done. They make it real easy.

Buying a used trailer is a recipe for buying a headache. New trailers are fairly reasonable. I think you should be able to get a dual axle 10,000lbs trailer for about $3500 to $4500. I would get torsion axles and not leaf springs. Aluminum frame with a good set of disk brakes.

The fall boating season just started. Flat seas all week. Stayed on the hook for the first time since last spring. Days 85 degrees, nights 65, water 78 degrees, it doesn't get much better. I just put in new batteries does that count?

I flew through Grand Rapids in May and it was a nightmare. I usually don't fly commercial so I don't know if my experience is normal. The Delta folks there were confused lazy stupid rude ignorant and lacked common sense. This resulted in lines with 150 people standing there watching the time...

That was pretty nice of you to rescue the turtle. Heck, I would have brought him home and ate him for dinner.
