    No Water At Marina - How to Get Boat Ready

    So I switched to a new winter storage place and unlike my old place, they don’t turn on the water until May 1 and I’d like to get it prepped and in the water ASAP especially with the good weather and because I’ll be swamped first week of May. The water from the lake is only a few feet away. I...

    Adding a Third Battery

    I hope this isn't a common question - here's the deal. Last year I finally got to fixing a lot of things on my boat, including taking the dorm fridge out I used for over 15 years and replacing it with a proper AC/DC Isotherm fridge, upgrading the sound system and also adding the ability to use...

    Simple Inverter install...if there is such a thing.

    Ok, so my old Norcold TekII fridge burned out, like they usually do, decades ago and I just replaced it with a small dorm refrigerator that has worked great ever since, but it's obviously AC only. The only issue obviously is that if I spend anytime out on the water, I have to keep it closed and...

    Getting fresh water system back up and running

    I decided to get my fresh water back up and running after not using it for…maybe a decade, lol. I took the rusted out water heater out and tee’d the engine hoses but just left the actual water hoses unplugged and zip tied out of the way. I have no intent on replacing the water heater tank any...

    Old cockpit light

    I posted this in the classic section but maybe some here can help out. Simple question - does anyone know how to get the lens off of this light? I’ve tried prying it off and unscrewing it but it won’t come off.

    I’ve learned to come here before I get frustrated and break stuff. Anyone know how to remove the lens from this light in my rear cockpit area? I tried prying it off and unscrewing but neither worked. Btw, I got my speedo to work again perfectly by blowing out the tube from the back of the...

    What's going on with my spark plugs

    I have a 1989 Sundancer, with the 260 and Alpha 1 Gen 1. Last year my drive locked up and apparently shot the porcelain from the rear most starboard cylinder out of the seat of the plug. The threads were still good. Normally I do my own work but due to health issues I had a mechanic replace...

    Getting behind dash

    I know on some older Sea Rays you can access all of the dash wiring from a panel in the head. On my 1989 250 DA there’s no access panel so when a breaker or gauge needs replacing, I have to stand on my head to work under the dash. I also would like to spruce up the cracking dash panels but I...

    Better seating arrangement

    I have a 1989 250 DA and the pull-out jump seats are basically useless and just take up space behind the helm. Has anyone come up with a replacement or better seating arrangement for these boats? There was a guy who started on a replacement project but he never finished so I borrow his...
