Does anyone sell the covers for the Sea Ray seats? I have a couple place on my boat where the seats are getting a lot of wear and starting to rip and/or crack. I am sure I could take it to an upholstery shop and get them to make new seat covers, but I have a feeling that would be very...

Quint4 where did you order your fuel sending unit? What model?

Quint4. How many gallons is your tank? My tank is 100 but today I did the measurement on the outside of the tank for the new sending unit and I come up with 135 gallons. I am thinking that the part of the tank I cannot see is not shaped the way I think.

Thanks for the help you guys!

I wish! The sending unit is right in the middle of the tank and the only way to get to it is to stand in the engine compartment and squeeze your hand in between the top of the tank and the deck (about 3 inches of room).

I have a 1991 290 Sundancer and the fuel gauge just stopped working. It just sits on "E". I jumped the wires together and the needle jumped to full. This means I have a bad sending unit... Correct? I have the same problem as Quint4. There is no access. There is an access but it is over the...

Has anyone ever bought a motor from these guys? I have been talking to them a little bit and their prices seem really reasonable. Thanks for the info Winston

I have a 1991 290 Searay with a mercruiser 502. The engine started knocking, so I cut open the oil filter and found it full of metal shavings. So I think it is time to replace the engine. I was thinking about either a 454 or a 496 because they are more reliable, easier to find parts, and...

This boat only has a single 502 so I guess I am thankful that I dont have to replace two motors. One is going to be bad enough!

It was fast! One week from the time I mail the sample off they emailed me the results!

Yeah now I need to figure out if I should rebuild or repower. Both of which sound expensive!

I have a bad knock in my 502 Mercruiser so I pulled some oil and sent it off to get analized and this is what they said: Wear was well above average in the first sample from your Mercruiser. The high aluminum is likely from the upper end, while lead and tin are from the bearings. Iron can be...

Thanks for the help! Winston

I have a 290 1991 SeaRay with (around) a 1995 502 fuel injected 8.2 liter mercruiser. The engine has started knocking so I removed the oil filter, cut it open, and found a fair amount of silver metal flakes. I want to get the oil analyzed to find out where the metal is coming from. Does your...

Guess I should start checking prices for both routes. Where should I start to look for a crate motor? Should I go back with the 502 or a 454? I have heard that the 454 is more reliable. From my understanding the 454 is the same motor as the 502 but with a different head. If this is the...

I would like to do the rebuild myself... I think it would be fun but I have never done one before... The engine has to be taken out of the boat correct? Winston

I popped a hole in the side of the filter with a large screw driver and then cut the top of the filter off with a pair of tin snips. Where do I get an oil analysis done? How much does it cost? Should I even think about trying to fix the problem or should I just think about repowering at...

Bad news :-( I started the engine today and trimmed it up and down while I turned the steering wheel and there was no change in the knocking... so it is not the u-joints.. Then I cut the motor off and removed the oil filter and cut it open.. There are metal shavings in the filter! This...

Jimmy buoy- The boat is in the water and I dont have a trailer for it, so I would have to get it hauled
