    Lower unit question

    Pirate Lady, Just out of curiosity, what pitch of prop do you run on your 250?

    Lower unit question

    I did exactly as you did. I got an SEI for $1228 shipped. My marina is doing it for me.

    Lower unit question

    I have a 1989 250 DA with a Mercruiser 7.4L with a single Bravo one outdrive. I’m looking to replace my lower unit. My current outdrive is really corroded and was apparently badly neglected by the previous owner and didn’t believe in anodes. I went to replace the anode behind the prop and...

    Looking for some advice

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the input....and no I'm not panicked. I've had other I/O's in the past and usually did change everything in the fall, but just not this year. If not the fall, for sure in the spring before everything got going again, but I've never had a problem with oil being left...

    Looking for some advice

    Not my first boat, but first "older" boat. I have an 89 Sea Ray Sundancer 250 DA. It has a Mercuiser 7.4 w/ Bravo 1 out-drive. I purchased the boat this past year, but have been restoring it cosmetically in a few areas and generally cleaning it up. It was not in the water this year except...

    to buy....or not to buy

    Pirate Lady, all the wood looks the same. In other words it doesn’t look like anyone cobbled anything together, it appears anyways, that it was made like that. Like that table doesn’t fit into that track unless I bring it all the way back to the galley countertop at the sink. But when I do...

    Yep, that’s what I’m saying. I guess my table might be shorter than yours??

    That is in fact what that smaller piece is. Fits vberth perfectly with the table laid in there.

    to buy....or not to buy

    Pirate Lady, to be honest...I don’t know what it actually is for yet. I thought initially that it made up for the space that the table did not cover for the base of the vberth. That actual pic was not taken by me, but rather the previous owner. I did run across that piece while cleaning out...

    I’m not really good with posting pics I guess, but I think you get the idea. Can’t wait to get the new bottom paint on. That’s soon.

    to buy....or not to buy

    Well, I decided to buy the boat. After careful inspection and a ton of questions we had our sea trial this evening and everything checked out well. So tonight I have a new to me Sea Ray sitting in the driveway. Can't wait to work on a few projects. This site has been very helpful and...
