I finally got around to changing my oil and water separator this weekend and remembered why I hate changing the fuel filter... it takes me FOREVER to get the boat started afterward! I actually never did get it running yesterday; I ran out of daylight and had to finish some other stuff up...

The bulb burnt out in my front marker light the last time we were out after dark, and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. I started thinking about an LED because that light gets HOT up there, and I am tired of burning my hand. Has anyone put an LED in the fixture? If so, what bulb...

Does anyone happen to know what kind of brake fluid my 2005 ShoreLand'r trailer uses? I assume that it is DOT3, but can someone confirm? I'm going to my folks tomorrow to drop my old axle under it, and won't see the trailer until I get there. I just remembered that I need the fluid before I...

I'm getting ready to put my original axle back under the boat after this past summer's mishap. The only thing I'm not exactly sure how to do is bleed the brakes. Do you have to do anything special, or just work the actuator the same way you would a brake pedal? Is it that easy, or is there...

Changed the oil in the boat today before I was going to put her up for the winter. Ran her for 10 minutes or so to get the oil warm, then did a standard oil change - drained oil, changed filter, then filled back up with oil. Cranked her back up to to fill up the filter before I did a final...

Was at the dealer today to pick something up from them, so I figured I'd get a new thermostat since mine is stuck open. The thermostat alone was $25, and didn't come with any gaskets, so I passed it up to try and find it somewhere cheaper. Auto thermostats are only a couple of bucks, and I...

Thinking of putting a trim switch on my transom... It is an option on some of the bigger boats, but wasn't an option on my 185 when I bought it. Who has one? Where is it mounted? Anyone know how it's wired in? Can you post some pics??? Thanks!

This is not how I had planned on getting the boat home from the lake a couple of weeks ago - We were driving home from the lake on Saturday night when it felt like we had a blowout. Pulled over, went to check it out, and the tire was completely gone. Not sure exactly what happened...

Howdy - I have a 2005 185 Sport sitting on a Shoreland'r trailer. A couple of weeks ago, I had a bit of a trailering incident (lost a wheel at 55mph... wheels studs sheered off at the drum). Anyhow, that's a different thread for a different time. I am currently trying to replace my...

I've got an intermittent alarm (near WOT with a load in the boat) that I believe is coming from the gear oil bottle. The oil level is full and it's fresh, so I don't think it's an actual problem, but I want to figure out what is going on with the alarm. Anyhow, I need to understand exactly...

Howdy - I made these in order to secure my bimini while trailering. I didn't want it up while driving at 70mph, but if it was laying down, it rubbed on the cover and back hatch, so I made these little brackets. I now have a tower that I strap the bimini to, so I don't need these anymore...

Howdy everyone - Is anyone else out there having problems with their Shoreland'r trailer brake lines? Mine was apparently rubbing on the axle and it eventually put a hole in the line that actually runs inside of the axle housing between the two wheels. Has anyone else had this issue happen...

I've been flipping through the brochure drooling over the 210 Fission. One of the options on this model is a 'Mega Premium Trailer package.' I've been wondering what exactly this trailer looks like... Anyone have one and want to share pictures?

Howdy everyone! I found this board a few days ago while searching the internet for information on an idle air control valve. I used to visit an old Sea Ray exclusive board fairly regularly, but when it was shut down, I stopped looking. Anyhow, I hope to be of some use around here and add inpu...
