    Pros and cons of leaving boat full time in river water

    My wife and I at long last are purchasing some local river front property which has a boat house. The slips unfortunately are pretty narrow with the widest (the one on the left in the picture) being right at 9 feet while my 2000 Sea Ray 190 signature is 8 feet 5 inches wide. There is therefore...

    Looking for good service in the Mobile, AL area

    I'd prefer not to have to tow to the MarineMax in Gulf Shores but I've done that before. I have an electrical issue and I've reached the end of my diagnostic abilities. Where do SeaRay owners in the Mobile, AL area get their work done?

    My rear Transom Trailer Trim Switch is working erratically and I'd like to replace it. Boat info is in my sig. Does anyone know of a good source for parts other than MarineMax?

    Question about voltage at switch panel

    My boat sat unused for 9 months with a dual bank trickle charger on the batteries. When I finally was able to crank it on dry land using a muffler the switch panel (see part 1142314 below) which runs the light, horn, etc would not respond. I took the boat to my local marine mechanic who said...

    Haven't started boat since May

    Both batteries have been on trickle chargers so I expect they are charged. Any tips on what I should do prior to starting it after that length of time?

    Reasonable estimate for oil pan replacement?

    A few weeks ago after a very rough 40 mile ride over intercoastal waters during a storm I seem to have picked up an engine oil leak which was discovered on our subsequent trip out when the low oil pressure alarm when off after just a few minutes of running time. Monday I took the boat to a local...

    Sometimes boating is more adventurous than I'd like

    I wrapped a crab trap around my stern drive in the waterway behind the casinos in Biloxi, MS Saturday. It was in very shallow water and the dang trap was probably 30 feet away from its marker. Unfortunately I had no wire clips on board. Fortunately I had boatus insurance and after a call to...

    Need sunpad cover latch post part

    I checked http://www.searay-parts.com and found this www.searay-parts.com/Sundeck-latch-1219948-p/1219948 sundeck latch.htm which is $51 shipped, and I also sent a request to marinemax about the part but in the meantime I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable and helpful folks at clubsearay. The...

    Anybody else installed a "car" receiver in their boat?

    This weekend I replaced my 12 year old OEM Clarion receiver/CD player with a new JVC car receiver with all the current bells and whistles (bluetooth, 2 USBs, handheld mini wireless remote, support for multiple digital formats, choice of 30k different illumination colors, etc.) When I replaced...

    B.o.a.t.

    Last week we passed the two year mark of boat ownership. Ownership has generally been great fun and one of the best family purchases we've made in 23 years. Our boat had 233 hours on it when purchased and now has 303, spread out over 39 different days. I'm kind of a nitty record-keeper (my...

    How to add side marker lights to existing trailer wiring?

    Sunday after the over-a-decade old original wiring on my EZ loader trailer eventually gave out I pulled out all the old wiring and replaced it with brand new wire I'd gotten with some Wesbar LEDs I'd previously installed. I had previously replaced the tail lights with the Wesbars but had been...

    Removing and keeping rust off water toys

    I wasn't sure what other forum this question would be appropriate in so I'm dropping it in here. I have a nice less-than-one-year-old kneeboard which I keep in the storage area under the floor in my boat. When the boat is not being used I try to keep the door to this area proped open so that...

    Engine sound dampening products

    I have foam dampening material attached in the inside walls of my engine compartment as well as the back of the carpet-covered wood dividers which separate the passenger area from the wells on each side of the engine. The foam is pretty old and even if it weren't I don't think it is all that...

    Need help fixing trailer lights problem

    I own a used 2000 EZ Loader bunk trailer (TEZ 17-20/22' for what its worth) which I bought along with my boat a year ago. The last time I used my boat I was told one of my rear trailer lights was out. I decided based on looking at the light fixture that wasn't working that I would replace...

    Engine hours to maintenance/upgrade hours ratio

    The end of the month will mark my one year anniversary of boat ownership. It has been an adventure, and mostly a fun one. We did an extremely fun trip from Orange Beach, AL to Pensacola, FL this summer with another boat to meet up with other boaters from our city and watch the Blue Angels air...
