    Going from fresh to salt water

    I'm thinking of taking my 98' 210 Sundeck from a fresh water lake to the coast. I will be docking it and using it in the Inter-Coastal area around Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This is an I/O so what precautions do I need to take. It does not have an internal cooling system so the engine...

    Perko Universal Pole Light

    I purchased a Perko Universal Pole light to replace my original transom light. The base is a two pin Perko. My problem, the pole light does not set properly into the base. When pushed in I can turn the pole light which indicates it is not set in the pins and of course it does not work. Did Perko...

    Bilge Heaters

    This is my first winter in South Carolina with the boat and I'm going to leave it in the slip rather then pull it. Due to the Nuclear Power Plant just around the corner, I was told the water temperature on Lake Keowee never gets below 50F but the air temperature at night will get below freezing...

    Replacing a starter on a 210 Sundeck

    Can some one please tell me why Sea Ray decided to put the starter in the back of the engine, impossible to see and extremely difficult to get to. We almost had to pull the engine to get to it. This is on a small block 305, 5 liter V8. I hope I never have to replace again!

    Stern Light not working

    The stern light (all white) does not work on my 210 Sundeck. When I purchased it the original light looked like it was hit by the previous owners roof at his dock for the top of it was pretty smashed up. I purchased a new stern light including the pole yet it still doesn't work. All the other...

    Do I need a new starter?

    When I start my engine (Mercruiser 305, 220HP, Carb) it first has that sound if you turn the ignition when the engine is already running. That grinding sound lasts about a second then it sounds normal and the engine starts. I've had the boat about six weeks and it has always started that way...

    Replacing/repairing hull graphics

    Has anyone either replaced or repaired the graphics on their hulls? The 98 210 Sundeck I purchased was kept on a lift and the lift cable near the stern did a good job of chewing up the graphics above the rub rail on the port side even though it was in a plastic jacket. Would Sea Ray still carry...

    Removing Old Registration Numbers

    I took delivery of my 210 Sundeck today! It has North Carolina registration numbers that need to be removed and the new South Carolina numbers applied. Any thoughts on a good way to remove the old vinyl numbers and NC registration tag?

    Mecruiser 5.0L 220HP Alfa One Backfiring

    I took the 98 210 Sundeck I'm buying on a short sea trial this afternoon with the present owner. The boat has been winterized and in his lift. He started the engine this morning for the first time this year and he claims it started right up. When he pulled out of his slip it seemed to run a...

    97 240 Sundeck Polish & Wax or Polymer Coat

    Hello Everyone, I'm an old Sea Ray owner (91 270DA) that is looking at a 98 240 Sundeck. For the most part it seems to be in good shape but it's been awhile since the hull has seen any amount of care. The tan finish with brown accent graphics is dull and faded. Any opinions on the best way to...
