Howdy, It seems to be getting worse. boat runs great anything over 800 rpms. but when coming off plane pulling throttle down it hunts like crazy and sometimes dies. I really have to baby it to make sure it has some gas. for an MPI this confuses me. IAC has been changed new plugs wires all...

anyone have a favorite marina in south haven to get a transient slip this friday night? Would prefer to have a hotel very close by.

sun tan lotion rotted out the bottom of the sink on the port side. Anyone have any luck finding a new one of those?

A wonderful bone head maneuver. Engine is running battery switch on both, battery switch turned to 1 for a while, battery switch then turned to OFF with engine running and continued to run for about 5 minutes then turned engine off and noticed the battery switch was off. don't ask me why in...

What's a good idea on what to expect cost wise for a complete bellows job on a 1998 BI 7.4mpi?

this is pretty cool they're coming out with a V-drive bow rider.

Lot's of us going to the show this year? If I do it will be Sunday unless the weather/waves aren't coopering for my boat size.

scared to write this in fear of jinxing myself but here goes. I changed plugs, wires, and so on ( a tune up) ~4 years ago and she's been running perfect. Would you bother with changing the plugs and everything else mentioned and that goes along with a tune up just for the hell of it? so far...

What's the deal with the electrical system on a 560DB? I see that it has both volt systems on the panel. How does that work? Do you plug both in at the same time? Not that I should care I don't have that boat and probably never will but I'm curious.

brand new motor just about broken in per manual. this is what's happening after cruising at about 1/2 throttle for 30 mins. Come back down to idle speed in gear all is well. get to dock and put in neutral and it revs up to about 1/8 or 1/4 throttle and doesn't come back down unless I pull...

What are the odds anyone has a picture or can explain where the IAC is on a 1998 7.4MPI engine? Not sure if this is a do it yourself project or not. You tube has nothing out there that I can find.

if when running the engine at idle and I turn the blower on the voltage goes down from 14 to about ~13 or little less (if I remember correctly). I've had this boat for 5 years and still using the batteries that came with it so not sure how old they are, no date on them. Is that a sign they are...

Howdy, Before I start doing major research I'm going to try the lazy man route by asking you folks. Anyone know of a marina, hotel, or someplace to dock a boat in Milwaukee for a night or two? It's a 230BR so we need the hotel to be walking distance of where we will dock the boat. Thanks, Jason

Howdy, anyone with a 1998 230BR 7.4mpi with a dual battery setup have a recommendation on battery brand/size to use? Boat is tucked away still and I can't get to it right now but would like to have them bought already when i bring the boat home. Thanks, Jason

Howdy, I think it's time to change out my 2 batteries. Just in case the previous owner just put in any old batteries in it not necessarily the correct ones does anyone have a recomemdation on what they would put in? it's a dual battery setup. My mind has been thinking about 2 dual purpose deep...

anyone have the inside track on why Sea Ray does not make any DBs anymore? Are they going to make a smaller version of the Fly series?

Wow 3x Zuess. not sure how I feel about the triples vs. twins but what do I know.

this is a cool video of a 540DA doing an offshore cruise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tHTKQLVe3o

Just for fun if you were given a choice to pick a boat to use while making the Great Loop what would you choose? Don't think about price strictly which boat.

for some reason when trying to post pics I get the over the size limit. I checked the size of the other pics on the thread and they are way bigger than mine. what could I be doing wrong?
