    Newish Sea Ray 185 Sport won't run at full power?!

    Yes you can get a significant amount of build up in one month, but I can't believe that it would that much as to shave off 20 mph on your top end speed. I had a similar issue where I had a loss in top end speed and rpm. It turned out that I had a flat battery cell that would not take a...

    Illinois - new law - Mandatory Life Jacket Wear 24/7 for Solo Boaters

    Because I think there a lot of more important things that need to be dealt with than whether or not a solo boater has the right to decide if he/she should be wearing a life jacket.

    Illinois - new law - Mandatory Life Jacket Wear 24/7 for Solo Boaters

    As stupid as this bill may be, they can go ahead and pass it!! I'm more concerned about the legislature finding solutions to something truly important, like the $1.4 billion school budget deficit!!

    Sea Ray 185 spt. Helm Seats

    Yeah, unfortunately the tax man got the best of me and I have no money again!! Jason sent me a picture of these seats and they are beautiful!! Anyone who's been looking to upgrade their Sport to bolster seats should seriously consider this offer.

    Sounder- Transducer Installation

    Fitting two hole saws on one mandrel might be an easier way to enlarge the hole. It might be close, but if you could mount the 2-1/4" hole saw over the 1-3/4" one, you should be able to engage the existing hole with the smaller hole saw and use that to guide the bigger saw to enlarge the hole...

    Prop question-2007 195 Sport w/ 4.3MPI

    Sea Ray's prop chart says you should be running a 13.75x21 SS Vengeance prop with a 1.62:1 Alpha ouutdrive. ** I read the chart wrong. The above info I posted is for a 185 Sport. For a 195 Sport it should be a 14x19 SS Vengeance from the factory. Sorry for the misinformation!!**
