    3.0L Merc engine

    I had a issue this weekend that happened out of the ordinary. I went to our local lake and my boat was full of gas and pulled a skier and tuber for half a day. Went back out and pulled a tuber and idled around and picked them up and killed the motor(half tank). Then all of a sudden the motor...

    Starter Stud bolt broken

    wow....this is exactly what my marine mechanic had to put on my searay to correct my problem. I ran it for a good 10hours this weekend and it never broke a start bolt. The "Bracket" is the FIX!!! I can't believe I had this issue in my 2005 180 sport. I guess the previous owner had the starter...

    Starter Stud bolt

    I went to replace my starter this afternoon and found out that my starter was only mounted in with one stud bolt. Come to find out the other one has been broken off at the threads. WoW!! Can my local sea ray dealer back this out and retap it so the starter will be mounted correctly????

    Pump Motor Running

    I havn't had a chance to look at it today. We have been under tornado warnings all day here in Alabama. Plus I need a day to cool down and was hoping to get some ideas off here before I start digging tomorrow. I know for a fact the battery isn't dead because that bilge pump still kicks on in the...

    Pump Motor Running

    No leak...dry as it can be in the rear/engine compartment! I think it has become a electrical issue. I guess I am just going to have to take it in to a mechanic to track down.

    The bilge pump is still kicking on every 5min and running for 3-4sec. and cutting off. If the battery was totally dead I wouldn't think the bilge pump would still run. I am thinking it is possibly a fuse somewhere. I am going to look over everything this afternoon really good. I think my starter...
