I have a Hypalon Achillies that has some black marks on it from sitting in the water, any recco's for a claner?:huh:

Well I fixed an oil leak in my Quicksilver 5.0, yet another repair to the one thing in my boat that seems to malfunction more than anything else (and is hardest to get at). Thinking next time maybe rip it out and installing a generator; all it really does is run the microwave and the ice maker...

Has anyone upgraded to LED bulbs on the multi-directional lights on the mid-90's boats? They appear to have bayonet style bulbs; can you just pull them out and replace the bulbs?

Well suddenly my starboard tach has added 1000 RPM's to the needle. Even when it's off it now parks 1100 off where it was before. Someone said to check the coil connection; anyone else had this problem?

Any Sea Ray club gatherings up here this summer? Anyone know? Just Checking

Last time I toom my 330 out I was going to go to the fuel dock on the way in but got distracted by some family problems so I forgot about it. I now have both guages reading about 1/8th of a tank. It's about 3 nautical miles to the fuel dock, which half of it I must run at no more than 7 knots...

Hey anyonw know anything about this stuff? I was reading about using it for non-skid areas but the web site also says it is good for corroded metals. I have a little corrosion on some things in my bilge like the fuel tank hold downs.

Well the season is starting and as I'm tired of taking the camper canvas off and on I was thinking of getting a full cockpit cover. Are there any "off the shelf" sellers or do I have to have a custom made one? I have a 1994 330DA

Well with $5/gallon fuel at the dock this summer I'm thinking about installinf flow meters. Reading the installation instructions I noticed they say to but the reader betwwen the fuel filter and carburator. I have carburated 5.7's and it looks like it would be a difficult installation with...

Any clues on to what the best oil changing tool is out there? I was considering a vaccum type but I've noticed there are several out there. When I had my last boat (15 years ago) I used one that attached to a drill but I remember it to be really messy. An online store link would be helpful Thanks.

I'm about to replace the fuel pump on my 1994 5.7L this W/E, I've done it on auto's before and it has always been easy. However a friend did it on his 1995 5.7L and he said he had a lot of trouble because he had to hold the cam up to insert the lever on the pump? Anyone else have this problem...

Yesterday I was out cruising with the genrator on, after I came to the anchorage I noticed the generator had shut off. I tried restarting it and noticed it was blowing exhaust and raw water into the bilge. This might expalin why the previous trip my CO monitor was going off. It shut itself...

Well it looks like my yard ordeal is soon to be over but I replaced one of the shafts and so my question is what do I do with the stuffing box? THe yard guy told me to put it in the water, run it a few hours and then see if it needs to be tightened. Wanted to get some second opinions. I...

Hey guys I need your assistance if possible. In the yard today and noticed the cutlass bearing was sticking out a little bit. I unscrewed the cuppler from the trnasmission but the end won't come off of the shaft. The yard guys tried heating it up, etc. Now they say to cut it off and get a...

One of my engines, 1994 5.7 Mercruiser / v-drive, will not start without starting fluid after it sits for a few days. Once it starts it runs great at all speeds. When I had my kid push the throttle when the engine was off and cold I noticed it was not squirting fuel into the carburator. A guy...

I'm haulling out next week and I've got some browninsh stains on the hull at the waterline. Not worried about the ones on the bottom paint but the bare fiberglass, especially around the side exhausts looks nasty. I will have the hull pressure washed first thing after hauling out. Any...

About time to do the haul out. My boat sits in fresh water so I was going to try to get away with one coat of bottom paint. How many gallons does it take?

ANyopne replaced their compass? Mine has no oil in it and I''ve been told it's cheaper to replace. Any brand / model suggestions? Obviously I need it to fit the existing hole

So the CO sensor in my 1994 330 has been going off and staying on and seems to be over sensitive as I have another newer monitor (I brought it aboard from home) and it does not go off. This is the original equipment searay model that is a rectangular black box. Is this unit repairable or...

I have a 1994 Sundancer with 5.7L (350) twins, anyone know what the oil capacity is? Was going to change it over the holiday..
