Wondering if tours of either of the Sea Ray plants/factories in the Knoxville area are open for tours ? I am planning on being in Knoxville in 2 weeks. Have any of you taken a tour ? If so, was it worthwhile ? Since I have a 250 Select, it would be great to see the actual facility that makes...
Looking to see if anyone may have had any ideas for a problem I am experiencing with my 2008 250 SelectEX. It has the 6.2L Mercruiser with DTS. Its the DTS I am starting to wonder about. The boat has 13 hours on it and it has already left me stranded twice. In fact, I am now on a first...
My 250 Select is the first boat I've owned with a pump out head. Just wondering how thorough the typical marina pump-out process is - I guess the guy at the marina sticks a big vacuum gizmo into the access port and sucks out all the goodies. When this task is performed, does the equipment...
Wondering if it is possible to change my username ? I have another boat and the old username throws some confusion into some discussions. I had a 220, now have a 250 Select. Thanks
Wondering if any of you have had any experience with this product ? http://www.turnoverball.com/tow.asp#
Rated for 10,000 pounds. Should I be skeptical or cautious towing a boat and trailer in the 7000 pound range ? :smt017
Just purchased a 2008 250 Select EX with the optional head and holding tank. I am just a bit confused about what to use in the TOP reservoir of the head unit - (for flushing). The instructions are very brief, and say to fill the reservoir with water. I was wondering if water plus the...
Maybe it's too early in the morning and I am not awake yet. Just wondering what is the benefit of using the the trailer metal as a ground path for the lights rather than just running the ground wire directly to the lights ? Seems like it would be easier to make decent corrosion resistant...
I have a new 215/75R14 Tire with a 5 lug rim that was a spare on my trailer for my 220 Select. If you are in the Pensacola area, its yours for free, just come get it. (251) 533-0291
I have a custom made cover that was made to match my 220 Select. A local boat canvas shop made it for me about a year ago. The coverage extends down below the colored gelcoat on both sides. In the back, it wraps over and secures under the swim platform. It's an excellent quality cover...
On my 250 Select EX - I would like to use some type of 3M high strength adhesive to take a piece of pressure treated wood (as a mounting plate) and mount it to the inner wall of the engine compartment above the dual batteries. Once this in cured and in place, I want to mount my on-board battery...
Looking to buy an on-board intelligent battery charger capable of charging the dual battery setup on my Select 250 when I have it parked in the driveway. I would rather purchase a high quality product the first time, rather than a piece of unreliable junk. Your reccomendations of brands to...
I am considering one of the GOLIGHT Stryker series remote controlled searchlights (Wireless remote). Anyone have any experience with these ? Product quality, performance, reputation ? Thanks

Just a reminder that the Blue Angels annual show over Pensacola Beach is coming up on July 21st. I am not certain, but they usually do a practice show the day before (Friday) and you can avoid the heavy boating traffic on Saturday. I had a pretty good spot anchored at the Boardwalk at...
I was thinking of doing some boating in the Dauphin Island Alabama area, and would be interested in good places to anchor for the day, and any restaraunts that might be accessible by boat. Any suggestions appreciated.
Well, I've had the boat and trailer for a year, using it in salt water and I guess its time to inspect and re-pack the trailer bearings. Only problem is that I have never done this before. I do have the spring loaded gizmo in the hub that forces the grease where it needs to go, but I guess...
For those that might be interested I got this in my email today from the Pensacola Marine Max:

I need to touch up the skeg on my Bravo3, as it has the typical minor scrapes and scratches just like anyone elses. In the past I've heard some advice given to apply a coat of zinc-based primer prior to sparaying on the paint. With just minor scrapes and scratches, would it be OK to just...
I plan to replace the anodes on my Bravo3 drive, and am wondering if it is as simple as it seems - unbolt the old, install the new ? My only question is should I use anything such as grease on the new anode mounting bolts, or could it have some kind of chemically adverse effect ? Thanks
