    36 Sedan Bridge Owners

    2007 Sea Ray Sedan Bridge Upgrades: I'm looking to upgrade/replace a few items on my boat this fall and was curious to know what others have done. 1.) Replace/Upgrade the AC system. My AC units are corroded and need to be replaced. I'm planning on doing a direct replacement Marine Air 16,000...

    8.1s 496 MAP HI fault code

    Hello, I'm starting a new thread as the other one I made got lost with the hydro lock issue. I just installed all new risers, manifolds, plugs and wires. Took the boat out for a run and it ran awesome for 20-30 min. As soon as I took it above 3,600rpms, then a loud beep and both engines...

    Mercruiser 8.1s 496 Hydro locked

    The boat is now in freshwater so I should not run into that issue. The inside of the risers were just as bad as the outside.

    Yes, they were OEM but the boat was on the gulf side of Florida and sat in the water all year. I believe the salt content in the gulf is very high as well. I will make sure to spray the outside with an anti corrison spray and keep an eye on them now. Too expensive to replace every 4 years

    I have a receipt of the risers and manifolds being replaced in 2016 at 485 hours(before I owned the boat). The boat had 557 hours when I purchased (Dec 2017) it now has 785 hours. The risers looked ok but the manifolds were horrible.

    Mercruiser 8.1s 496 Hydro locked

    Update... Rookie mistake but man am I glad it was just my mistake. This week I went down and decided to pull the wire off the coil and see if the sound changes. Nothing changed but when I looked at the plug wires I noticed I had the two cylinders swapped. I swapped them back and boom knock went...

    I have an 07 Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 36. Two weeks, I came into the dock after a nice run. Shut the engines off and waited for some friends maybe an hour or two. Went to restart the boat and port engine fired right up, starboard turned a small amount and then clicked. I pulled the plugs and water...

    When were your fuel filters last changed? When I bought my boat upon survey we could not get it to go over 3,300 rpms and it would drop 100-200 and bounce around. I used that to my advantage and the previous owner did not want to look into it. His loss save me tons of $$$ and some new pre fuel...

    2007 Sea Ray Sedan 360 Leaking Water at Rear Door

    I just purchased the boat 6 months ago and now it just started but during a hard rain water will start building up in the center at the rear sliding doors. I know for a fact the rain water is not coming through the rear sliding doors. It seems to be coming from the port side and running along...
