I need to find some place where I can order items for a 2001 sea ray 180 bowrider for the interior, dash, glove box seats, cushions. I live in florida now not Panama so would love the help Orlando area.

Help, today I had a problem that scared me a little, my tilt would not work when I was bringing in the boat from a short trip in the Ocean. The out drive would not come up, after several tries I got it partially up just enough to get it out of the water. Then once on land I was able to get the...

The drill bit worked great, now for another question, Today I was out and when I came back in the out drive would not come up, I tried several times and then it finally came up partially. Once out of the water the Trailer switch worked to get it all the way up. What could be the problem and can...

Re: Speedo out Thanks for your advice, it is not on the transom, it must be incorporated in the outdrive, there is a very tiny hole about 2 inches above the bottom of the fin and below the prop on the front side would that be the hole. It is very small and not much bigger than the ability to...

I have no idea where or what to look for on the transom, everyone tells me the same thing, but I have no idea what to look for. There appears to be nothing but the engine on the transom. So I have no idea what to look for or where. Sure could use directions on how to find it. As upi can see I am...

I am a proud Searay owner, of a 2000 180 Bowrider, we live part time in Panama and the rest of the time in Texas. Our boat is in Panama and we have been having a ball, going through the Panama Canal and then into the ocean to an Island off Panama call Toboga. The boat runs great, minor issues...
