Cool, luv your boat too! Some guys think 1977 and go "yeah whatever" but little do they know of the quality and care they used to put in to building a genuine watercraft! Not to say the new ones aren't nice, but the classic ones have way more character. I'd like to create an album but I think I...

I crab my 30 footer all the time with ease. I center the wheel/rudders and use shifters only, no throttles. Planning ahead and patience is the key.

I owned a Larson boat for many years with this same drive train, I am very familiar with it and still have it for nostalgic reasons. It is an electric shift and how it works is a magnet that pulls the gear into engagement. These magnet coils (fwd/rev) should measure 4ohms if they are good. There...

Well against most peoples opinion I've used a bottle jack well over 100 times to move boats off trailers, never had one tip, but I always made sure it was on solid ground or blocks first. We would put them just about anywhere under the hull as long as we had 2x4(6) a couple feet long to spread...

Re: 1974 30' Sea Ray Weekender with I/O's & is the transom out-molding due to I/O des Hi mph, I'm trying to understand why you care so much about how or why it was designed the way it is. What does it matter? I've drilled through my transom to add another bilge pump spout and it had to be about...

Really? are you sure about that?? I'm not a "gear" head by any means so am not about to argue, but.... my friends who do all my rebuilds (30,000+ sq.ft. bldg. doing 15 motors/day avg.) would certainly argue that it's NOT the same cam being used in all trucks and boats. I myself have looked...

Geesssh, I can't imagine why anyone would go to all the effort and costs of "partly" rebuilding a motor. If you're paying for boring and honing, machining heads and all the labor, than do it all and do it right. Typically when you buy a rebuild they want the core or there will be a price...

You only missed one thing, they have different cams in them as well. Unless your auto motor is used in say a motorhome or tow truck, then it would have the same type cam. Marine cams offer high torque throughout the rpm range, hence tow truck etc. Someone once said a boat motor is under a load...

Re: What the hell?????? So far this thread is toooo funny! I've already blown coffee through my nose twice!!

Hi guys, just joined the new group. Thanks Jack!! I can't really post much right now as I'm many miles down the lake and using internet stick. Works good just a little slow. Will upload stuff next week when I get back.

I've looked and there isn't anything mentioning dimensions. I started trying to scan my manual into one PDF file but haven't figured out the machine yet. The manual covers ALL Sea Ray SRV 300 models from 1977-1979, PM me if you're in need and I'll forward it.

I have the original manual for the 300 SRV's, I will look through and see if there is any data.

Let me just start by saying I mean no disrespect to anyone in this Club, but the topic of this thread reminds me of a business meeting I had a few years ago. I am a custom metal fabricator and my father-in-law had hired me for a job, he also had an engineer on hand. One day these two were...

hey larry, just how many gallons do you end up using?

Hi all, I had promised 'dockageman' some photos but there are some in this thread already so I thought to post them here. I'm bringing her in the shop this winter to do a major overhaul of the interior but the aft is already well appointed. I particularily like the flip/flop helm seats as...

Hi eman, I will give you my opinion. For your 3 questions the answer is yes, yes, and yes. Anytime I've ever removed foam from a boat I've returned some after ensuring the wood/glass is sealed up. It's not absolutely critical but it was originally put there for a reason. You can use everyday...

You may need to clarify the problem a bit. Are you saying the windlass does not operate in the up position? or does it just not pull the rope in? I know mine needs a little help sometimes to get started. If the line is loose the drum will just turn, I need to get the Admiral or First Mate to...

I think Whitenights is referring to cleaning the sender and not the gauge. Typically the problem is electrical, as in loose or corroded connections, but the "float" or sender itself can fail as well. By taking it out of the fuel tank you can inspect its condition and try moving it up and down to...

Hi Nassau, did mine about two years ago and we are about the same "dimensions". It is a tough spot for sure but once you're in there it's not bad, getting out can be harder...lol. My hot water tank is/was removed so that made it easier also. Good Luck!! p.s. just thinking, maybe bring a cell...
