Didn't see one for us few SS owners, figured I'd start one. I know I have a few questions about mine if anyone cares to chime in, such as are the boats not equipped with a windlass at least wired for one? Anyone make any interesting modifications yet? :huh:

Someone mentioned to me that after a hop I should let the engines in my boat idle for a few minutes to "cool down." Usually once I get in we attach the lines and I cut both engines, so they are idling but only for about a minute or two. When they reach operating temp they are usually both at a...

I tried a search but came up empty. Somone in my marina has what looks like plastic J-channel mounted to the side of the dock that he runs his potable hose through to run it towards his boat. I have tried using electrical conduit hooks but my hose looks like christmas lighting swag. I can...

My boat came with eisenglass (that had apparently never been used as it still was rolled up with tissue in between). The top portions attach to the bimini with zippers covered with velcro overlaps and seal very well. The part where the E-glass attaches to the windshield however rely on a...

I want to make a few loop ends to fit over cleats on some ropes, and I know there is a tool I need for this ( a fid?) Anyone know where to do/get this? Thanks.

The Linda Lou just pulled into port in our town. Largest boat I've ever seen. 197' and every foot is gorgeous. I've got boat-size envy. We went into the harbor adn saw her up close from the water. Spectacular. Figured you guys would appreciate a look. BTW- This is apparently the largest sized...

Well I've had my boat now for almost 3 seasons, and have as yet to ever get the anchor to set to my satisfaction. We never overnight on our boat and usually I anchor in about 20-30 ft of water and let the kids swim, etc. The boat had a small (~10-15#) plow anchor on it, 18" of chain, and a 1/2"...

I hope this doesn't earn me a sticky for "Most stupid question Ever," but how long should it take for a boat to plane? I bought a 17' fiberglass boat with a 90HP outboard 20 yrs ago and it will still leap out of the water and plane in under 10 secs. As of late, I've moved up to the 1999...

Just found the site via google, great site. Lots of info here. I was going to post some questions and did a search instead and found more info that I can comprehend now. Seems like a great site for us SeaRay enthusiasts. We bought a 99 280SS 2 yrs ago and love it. We spend a good deal of...

Hi everyone. My name is Brian and we are new (2 yrs) Sea Ray owners. We live in Northern Michigan in Charlevoix, which is near Lake Michigan. We just picked the boat name yesterday (which is my screen nane) and it is a contraction of our kids names (Lauren and Alex.) We love this boat and...
