Thanks for the info! Now I just have to get some parts and wait until the weather turns and I can uncover my boat for the season. I'm jealous you guys down south are boating all ready. Ice isn't even out up here yet. My parents still have 3 feet of snow on the ground! (northern Maine) Can't wait...

I was admiring all your custom work to your 195. I have the same boat in black gel but with the same interior colors. Anyway you've got to tell me about the under seat coolers! Was that an option I missed or did you buy those aftermarket? I would love to have that extra space! Also do you...

Low bridge hooked the stowed bimini and ripped it off... including the top frame rail for the windshield. Windshields are only sold as complete units (glass and frame) at the bargain price of +/- $2000.

Thanks for the info. My original was T-16xxxx. The replacement is T-188xxxx. The repairs for this little mishap of mine cost nearly 25% of a new boat after all the gelcoat work and parts, supplys, labor etc. What I ended up with is not what I started with. The new windshield is not...

What is the Taylor Made part number for your windshield? It should be on the metal frame by either the drivers or passengers seat. T-xxxxxxxxx? Just trying to figure out why my replacement windshield has a different part number than the original. Thanks for your help.

Three things come to my mind as well... 1. Sorry for the double post. Feel free to delete it if you want. 2. If the frame was sold seperately I would have repaired it myself. Having learned from this experience I can assure you that the glass CAN be placed back in the frame. I did it myself...

My bad luck might save someone some money... I have for sale all 3 pieces of windshield glass for a 2006 195 sport. Port, Stbd and center window/door. I damaged the windshield frame when I managed to rip the bimini off the top of my boat but the glass is in perfect shape. Not sure if...

Thanks for the reply. Boat has 35.5 hours on it. The problem appeared the first time I took the boat out after the dealer summerized it. I have primarily run it in fresh water. Ran it in salt 3-4 times last season. Never had any heat issues last season.

Had an overheating problem with my 195 Sport (4.3L MPI). Dealer left me a massage saying there is sand in the engine clogging some passages. Where would sand accumulate on this motor? Any estimates for how many hours of labor I'm in for??? Be gentle :smt009

The steering wheel on my boat is 180 degrees off. It is completely upside down when the drive is centered. That was something I was planning to bitch to the dealer about but I forgot about it with all the other issues I've had. The vinyl panel... is that the ones that line the cockpit? Mine are...

I spoke to my dealer yesterday and was told that my boat (4.3 MPI)should run at 170-175. They said it is possible that the raw water intake might have picked up something which would increase temp. Also said that early in the season the t-stat might be sticking a little. Anything over 200 is...

No water in the bildge and no alarms. I was looking over the Stem to Stern website and the parts breakdown of the thermostat assemby. The thermostat itself says 160 degrees....!?! If the thermostat is supposed to start working at 160 something is definately wrong. I know there is water...

Thats what I was worried about but the outdrive is brand spanking new... Not a rebuild according to the dealer who replaced it. I would hope that means that the impeller is OK, but I guess anything is possible. Anyway, I just called the dealer and they will be looking at it soon.

I took my boat out today for the first time this season. I had the outdrive replaced under warrantee over the winter layup and was watching everything very carefully while putting her through some "sea trials". The one thing that I did not like was the engine temp. It seemed to be running...

How many 195 owners here? What problems have you had? I bought an '06 last July. After about 52 hours of use, these are my issues so far... 1. Thin gelcoat in a few spots on bottom... salesman pointed it out on delivery and scheduled a repair... repaired last month under warrantee...

I have a '06 195 sport. I don't know if all the '06 sport boats have this or not but.... On the gunwales, just outboard of the speakers, there is a molded fiberglass piece. It seems like it was an after thought by the manufacturer. All is seems to do is maintain the lines of the boat all the...

Good call. Thats what I did last year. Should I be worried about water getting into the sub stucture through the cracks?

Just noticed cracks around the front eye on my '06 195. I'm pissed off about this because I just had the thing at the dealer for other gel coat issues not 2 weeks ago. I had a bubble/crack behind the stbd speaker and very thin gelcoat on the port side near the keel. Both have been fixed but now...

We spent a fair amount of time on Sebago last year and will again this summer (possibly starting on Thursday) This is our first boat... SR 195sport. I have a friend that lives on Kettle Cove year round and has a slip on his association water front. He doesn't even have a boat so I used it a...
