I'm trying to crank my boat for the first time this season. I've been super busy with baseball and running around that I thought we'd give it a spin on the 4th. We didn't.... I have a charged battery, a starter with no problems and I still can't get the boat to crank. I keep getting a...

It poured down all day Saturday and now it's raining again this morning. It's probably dropped at least 2 inches of rain in the last 24 hours around here. It rained at Lake Barkley on us, so we decided to go home last night and maybe get on the Ohio River, but it's still raining. What is the...

Skibum, I totally agree with you on having him join the forum. However, he's basically "computer-challenged." Anything internet-wise, he comes to my house and asks me to help him find what he's looking for. He doesn't even have a home computer. Oh by the way, I'll just take a cold Miller...

My little brother just purchased his first boat. It's a 1988 Sea Ray 18' bowrider. It's got a 350 Magnum that's fairly new, been in the boat since 2004. The guy he bought it from did little regular maintenance besides winterizing and changing the oil (I'm not sure how much he did of that...

Yes, the boat runs fine everywhere else on the water. It wasn't a low fuel level.

I have a 350 Magnum in my boat and I took the boat out last Saturday. I ran the boat for a couple of hours with no problems. I took the family back to dock, the boat sat for about 20 mins., shut off. It restarted and I took it back out and as I was planing off, the boat died. It restarted...

I figured it out. Both of my batteries are fairly new. I had a radio memory pulling juice from one of the batteries which, for some reason, ended up being bad. It was an Interstate battery and I ended up exchanging that battery for a new one and I didn't have any problems with the battery...

I got it fixed. A boat repairman close to where I live replaced the shifter cables. That was my problem.

I have a 350 Magnum (put in four years ago) in my '84 197 Seville BR. It uses two batteries and will only start when my battery master switch is turned to "ALL", meaning both batteries are needed to start my boat. I don't know why this is, but I've never had any real problems out of running...

Wish2Fish-I've never been to Lake Cumberland. My brother-in-laws and I are trying to make a trip there. We're thinking about getting a cabin and staying for a couple of days. I'm all for it. khaynes-Being in Henderson, you really should make a trip to the lakes. Barkley is the better lake...

Any KY or Lake Barkley boaters here? It's my favorite place to go boating. I spend many weekends on Lake Barkley. Put in at Buzzard Rock Marina and always have a great time. I also do some boating on the Ohio and Green Rivers in Henderson and Webster County.

Just found the website... Have been a boat owner for three years now. I love it. Bought an older 197 Seville with 350 Magnum in it. It's a very dependable boat and it provides the fun my family wants from the water. We spend most of our weekends in the summer on Lake Barkley. A great place...

Had the boat out for the first time this summer, last weekend. Boat fired up like usual, put it in the water and boat would go forward, as usual. After putting boat in forward, I can't go back to neutral or reverse. I can move the control back to neutral position, but boat will continue to...
