Common searay problem. It is usually the screws on the slides backing out. Requires removal of the operator station to gain acces to the slides. I removed the screws , epoxied them, and re installed them.it is a pretty big job, but doable. Many posts out there on this if you search

I use Expeditions to tow my boat. The 2005 with the independant rear tows much better than my 2000 with the solid rear axle , surprisingly. Braking was never an issue, and it stopped fine even when my surge brakes didnt work for a while.My boat weighs #6000. I also used a Durango once , and did...

unfortunately for some of us, for whatever reason, Gas prices are the difference between using our boats, or letting them sit in the driveway. $170 for tow gas and boat vs $240 , for a day on the water is a big difference.A couple summers ago, we only took the boat out twice when the gas went to...

A friend of mine is selling an almost brand new one. He sold his 280 , and the new buyer didn't want the trailer. It is in Portland ,Ct. Let me know if your interested, I can get you his info,and pics

I had the same deal with mine. I just installed an hour meter myself.I like the idea of having it in the bilge.I put mine on the dash, but its not necessary to have it there.Just hook it up to 12v when the key is in the run position.West marine has them for $45 on page 430.AS far as how many...

Tach is there, Its the speedo i AXed. Use Gps speed, and the other one didn't work half the time anyway.

Hey, I'm in Ct--Terryville. If you want to do that , I'll give you a hand,and I won't beat you up too bad!!:smt001

1996 215 EC. Moved some things around and ditched the speedo. Lowrance HDS-8. The dach panel is made from 1/4 aluminum, in order to clear the round edge of the dash pannel

Bought an airmar B45 600w thru hull transducer ,and absolutely love it.I had a transom mount before, and it wouldn't work good underway. Now, it reads great at 40 mph.I plugged this into a Lorwance HDS-8 Gps unit. It's probably a little more than you were looking to spend, but the one I had...

This is my new Lowrance HDS-8 installed in the dash where it is easy to use on my 215 EC.The dash panel I used , is made of 1/4 " alum. so the unit clears the edge of the helm.The HDS-10 will definately not fit here.

No They don't!!! All they care about is making $$ I own a 96 215 EC, and have worked on a 26,28 dancer,and a 2007 36 SB. And its all the same,. Take a speaker out , and it looks like they cut it out with a chainsaw.On the 36, the storage box hole to the left of the helm was not cut right , so...

Oh yeah, for the fresh water system, after you fill the tank, you turn the switch on, on the dash panel, that looks like a rectangle with a squiggly line through it.You should here the pump come on momentarily, until it builds up pressure, then shut off.Don't be surprised if it doesn't work. The...

I have the same boat. The porta potty can't be removed for dumping.You have to go to a marina , or pump out station to get it emptied. If you buy fuel, theres no problem, but if you don't, you get dirty looks, but a $10 tip usually brings the smile back. I think they have to provide that...

Don't feel bad Searay doesn't even counter sink holes. If you remove some of the speakers and stuff, it looks like they cut it out with a chainsaw. The idea behind counter sinking, is that, it removes the sharp edge where stress cracks start.I have a large crack in my gelcoat from the hack job...

Todays gasoline does not last long, and cloggs up passages in as little as 3 months. I would buy a carb kit, and completely disassemble the carb on a clean work bench and clean it. Get one of those torch tip cleaning tools, ( has all the different size wires) and run it through all of the...

Has anyone installed a windless on A 215 EC? If so how did you go around the nav. light? If so, can you post a pic please?

I just did mine.215 EC. Not a fun job, but it was worth it. My Boat looks brand new now. Mine had about 10 coats if bottom paint on, and was chemically prepaired (primed) I had patches falling off. I took a Mac tools scraper for a single edge razor blade, and mounted a utility knife blade in it...

I just spent three weeks removing all of the bottom paint on my 215 EC and buffing the bottom to a brand new like condition, replaced all of the rollers on the trailer, repacked the bearings, and charged the batteries, rrebuilt the carb.I like to do a few extras each year.So, i go to start it...

Thanks guys
