    Question on my trailer

    The boat was not loaded at all except a full tank of gas. The only thing that I do recalled is that when I hitched the boat and arrived at my destination, the boat was not completely winched (not touching the rubber piece on the trailer) maybe 2 inches away from the rubber stopper of the bow.

    Question on my trailer

    My boat stays in the boatel unless I have to take the boat to the dealer and at that time I use my 2010 trailer to haul my 185 Sport. Here is my question, the last time I used the trailer was probably 4 weeks ago. This weekend, when I hitched the trailer and took the boat out of the water and...

    Burning Oil

    They said that gear and trim fluid are not consumable unless their is a leak. I dont know about coolant or transmission fluid. The last two fluids does not apply on my 185 Sport with an Alpha drive.

    Burning Oil

    Make it a project, call the service dept and tell them that you have a Sea Ray model X with a Merc and you were told from one of the maintenance class attendees on 23 Sep that the majority of Merc engines burn oil. Here is their toll free phone number 1- 800-772-3240.

    Burning Oil

    Wow, they stated Mercruiser in general. If you dont believe me contact Prince William Marina in Woodbridge VA and asked the service manager. Either way I am happy to heard that burining oil is probably a minority and not a majority of people. Thanks

    Burning Oil

    I went to a newcomers maintenance class sponsored by my Sea Ray and we were told that the majority of all Mercruiser engines burn oil. The normal ratio is 1 quart per 8-10 hours and more if you water ski. Did you know that? :huh:

    Replacing the Horn

    I attended last night to maintenance class provided for free for new owners of Sea Ray. I brought the point of the horn, and I was told by the senior technicians that the horn is not a good design, they are trying to get a different horn installed with all new Sea Ray's. I was told to make a...

    Replacing the Horn

    I understand your point of drilling a small hole, but if you do not drill a hole then the horn fills with water when raining or riding on choppy waters. It does not make sense the design of the horn..:(
