I agree, it would not cause problems structural but fixing the holes would be alot of work, especially if you want it to look like they were never there. You might just be able to remove it and leave the mounting plates.

I went from the stock 3 blade aluminum prop to a Solas Rubex 4 blade stainless prop and I love it. I wanted mine for hole shot and it really delivered. The rubber hub on the Rubex is nice to because it acts like a shock absorber and if you have a bad prop strike its supposed to sheer before any...

I had the same issue and after playing with the carb (with no success) I read the manual and learned there are a few things you can do to help the situation. Make sure your blower is running for a bit before attempting a start and push the button on the pivot of your throttle so your not putting...

I had issues with mine stalling when in pulled it to idle after I messed with the idle and mixture set screws. Had to bust out the manual and retune the carb to fix it. They might have not tuned it right at your last service. Could be the automatic chock as well. Pull the arrestor off and see if...

I get a funny reading on mine when there is a bunch of silt stured up from the bottom. Its really bad when launching. Could be a similar issue.

I think its the way the cylinders attach to the tab. If you set it to any hole except the upper most one it binds when the cylinder compresses (when the other side of the cylinder is mounted to a curved transom). Its really hard to really understand the physics of the problem unless your...

My gauges have a little black disk on the back with a slot in them, you can turn them with a screw driver and pull them out and just replace the bulb. Yours might just be a shorted from the moisture. Either way the bulbs are only a few bucks from Sea Ray.

Two suggestions: don't ground your amp to your batteries. I have only installed audio stuff on cars but it can't be all the different. You can get a popping sound when you use the power windows or turn signals when you ground to the battery. The other option is a capacitor. It will store and...

I know I am a noob, but the lake I always run in, I just idle in close and cut the motor, trim full up and walk it all the way in. Keep in mind a lake does not have high and low tide. I have to mention, I got married on a sand bar off the coast of New Port Ritchey, Florida. When we got to the...

Make sure the plug is in!!!!!! You are not kidding!! Not gonna say how I know that (yeah, i almost sank my boat, let the laughter begin)!!

So here is the deal. I have read alot of post on here and have an idea of what I will need to do to winterize my boat but I have one big question. I am currently at fort Rucker, AL, about to finish flight school. The Army decided I was having to much fun in the warmer parts of the world with my...

thanks for the suggestions guys, i will give them a shot.

Got a question I need some help with. When I bought my boat the fuel gauge had a little moisture behind the glass but it was readable. Now that I have owned it for a few months I am getting moisture behind a few more of the smaller gauges. I have poked around behind the dash but can't see a vent...

If you hook a multi-meter up to the wires from the fuel sender (in the mode that checks continuity) and run your boat around, it should tell you if the sender is sending erratic signals. The resistance should be fairly constant if the sender is working right. I did this on my 2001 185 when I was...

My 185BR has a little brass plug in the oil drain line. If your not leaking tons of oil it might have been a spare for that. Does it have a hole drilled through the square part that a wire might once have been attached to?

I have a little 12 volt inverter that I plug into the boat and then my pump into that. That way I can use it at the house and then just throw it in the boat for the towables on the weekend.

I don,t have a hawkeye brand depth sounder on mine and I don't have that issue. It was at least 100 yesterday with no bimini to shade it and mine worked all day. Mine is the 2001 original that came with my boat.

We have a HUGE tube, its called the Grand Stand and there is no way we could drive around with it tied to the transom. Our solution was to use a small power inverter and a AC powered air pump. Our tube has two chambers and even inflating both of them, it take just long enough to inflate that by...

I don't mean to sound like a broken record but if they would just make a end connector that was longer and maybe aluminum we could just screw them on and have those other slots for adjustment. I have been looking in a few hardware places but haven't found anything close.

Looking forward to seeing how the 40s go. I have the 60s and I think they be a bit too much. Good luck with them this weekend.
