    Upholstery Question

    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...

    Fuel Pressure Question

    I have a fuel injected 502 Mercruiser 8.2 and I cannot get it started... I hooked a pressure gauge up to it and turned the key (to turn on just the fuel pump) and only got 22 lbs of pressure. Is this correct? It seems low to me but I have never checked the fuel pressure when the engine is...
