    Spun a bearing

    I spun a main bearing in my 85 sundancer. I was online and found a place that says I can upgrade to a 350 with 350 horse power. That a lot over the 260 hrp that the 350 has in it now. I would like to know if it can handle it. Chris

    I hate squirrels

    Man I hate squirrels. They got into my head and ate the wires to all the front lights. The cabin lights and Navigation lights. I dont know how the animal found them because I had a heck of a time finding them. Took 3 days to find the wires.

    Long Story Short

    Ok so I get this boat maybe 1 month ago or so. I start going through it checking it all out. I find that the Nav lights up front don't work. So I take the Dash apart and start looking at power supply, switches, plug ends. Sea Ray really did a poor job of wiring and labeling things. Regardless I...
