Has anyone purchased the Marsden Smart Interrupt to replace the Merc interrupt switch? I'm looking to replace my original. I have a 1988 Sea Ray Cuddy Cabin 250 with a 350 engine.. Any ideas, suggestions, or reviews? There is only one review on their website. Thx

Thanks MerriMac, I found the Merc pdf. trouble shooting chart and went to work. Although the existing coil (it was a replacement from the last owner) a accel all purpose coil seemed to be ok with the ohm tests, it turned out to be bad. My brother brought over a box of his old parts that also had...

Hello all, Not a good experience Friday coming back from a scenic cruise all day long up and down the Hudson. Cruising at 3000 RPM and she decided to just shut down. I checked all the basics as far as fuses, fuel and possibly flooding but there was no problem there. Checked out the distributor...

Has anyone here replaced their fuel gauge on an '88 Cuddy. I was wondering what gauge you replaced it with. I've researched just about every one online and the Teleflex is the most reasonable, but I can't find a rear view of the gauge. I have the blue wire for the light on the old gauge and was...

I finished the job. I ended up going with 15 degree in the rear, a 0 degree, then another 15 degree turned outward a little. Six total. I had to move around the shift and steering cables, then the wiring harness. Wasn't that bad of a job but was time consuming. There was also carpeted panels...

My '88 250 Cuddy Cabin is not the fish cuddy and has not one pole holder on the entire boat. I temporarily mounted one on each side of the engine cover and that got me through the end of last season. (bought the boat last August). I have pics of the same type boat that shows where I can put the...

Thanks Creekwood. I have one ordered. I think that site will help with a lot of misc items.

I need the latch handle for the anchor hatch on my '88 250. Actually the plastic part that is attached to the handle is what I need. Does anyone know where to get this part or the latch itself? Thanks, Mike M

Thanks for the info CoralReefer. Something else to keep in mind. I'll post some pics as soon as possible. Mike M

Thanks Quint, I'm heading out there now. I saw a switch mechanism mounted on the engine w/the roller when I was looking to buy the boat. I appreciate the reply. It really helped to narrow down my research. Mike M

Hey Matt, I've found the same boat with a bigger engine for $4000 not in near the same shape and I've found the same boat, more electronics and options not near as good as shape for $12000. I got mine right in between and boat had been really well taken care of. I've been looking for a boat...

No, no survey. If I had the money to buy a boat like yours, I would have had it surveyed. (no offense by any means) I see you have a beauty. The 250 is 23 years old. It's been mostly a lake boat always trailered and always was covered with a full boat cover when it wasn't in use. I checked out...

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and a new owner of a 1988 "250" Sea Ray. So clean I couldn't refuse. I haven't had it out yet but was told by the owner that she stalls once in a while when putting her in reverse. I've read somewhere it could be a switch sticking and needs to be adjusted or...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site.I picked up a nice,super clean '88 250 this past week. Haven't had it out yet but will post some pics soon. Nice to be a member of Club Sea Ray. Mike M (mam19582)
