    Won't Crank...Help

    It was the "dummy" switch at the end of the bright RED lanyard. Guess who's the dummy. It was just slightly down, just enough to not let it crank. :smt021 The one on the left is me. Put it in the right position and it cranked right up.

    I need a new steering wheel - any ideas?

    Do you think that chain is stainless? Can I get that with the Sea Ray logo?...:smt038

    How long in the salt water w/o flushing motor

    I'm too worried about the outdrive. I've got good alum. anodes and I have a newer B3 outdrive with the extra anode. Just concerned about the salt water sitting in the motor for more than a week.

    How long in the salt water w/o flushing motor

    How long do you think I can leave my boat in the salt water without flushing the motor? I trailer my boat, but need to do some trailer maintenance and repairs. Between work and family, I might have only a few hours each weekend to get it done. I can tie up at a friend's dock, but I may need...

    Does anyone know any details of this 270DA

    Looks like a great deal. I would jump on it after a good survey. That is my boat except I have the single 7.4 liter. It is a great boat. We have stayed on ours numerous nights in shore and up and down the intercoastal. I also go offshore and dive off it. Can't go wrong with this model...

    Pensacola / Fort Walton Area

    One of the most popular smooth water areas to wakeboard are the bayou's in and around Niceville, Fort Walton and Eglin AFB. Do a search for Rocky Bayou State park and you will see the water to the north and west of the park. We boat there often and the water is always great for skiing and...

    Anchor windlass

    If you end up doing the project and if you are willing, I think others would benefit from pictures and maybe a step by step on how you did it. I know that I couldn't do without my windlass. When I starting shopping for a cruiser, it was one of my must haves that I never compromised on...

    Won't Crank...Help

    This boat has never failed to crank; until now. Here's the deal. Turn key to "on" and don't get the familiar low oil pressure alarm sound. That's got me curious, but don't really know where to start tracing it. I try to crank and engine turns over fine but won't fire. All fluid levels are...

    220 Select for use on Gulf (Destin, FL)?

    Geurk, Come on down, it is a great area to go boating. However, you mentioned going into the Gulf. What fwebster said regarding the pass is very true. Last Wednesday afternoon, we made the run over from Niceville to the Destin Pass. The run across the bay was slick as glass. Even the...

    Things caught by your anchor?

    Don't know if this counts, but my anchor "caught" my wife's head. We trailer our 270 and as many of you know, some the hard way, the anchor is about head high when standing on the ground. Well, on the inaugural launch day of our new to us boat, while walking to the truck, she takes a short...
