Hey Guys, Does anyone know precisely why an ignition system calls for a coil with a specific primary and secondary resistance? :huh: As I was getting ready to warm up the 'ol Chevy 350 in the boat today, I noticed oil all over the top of the ignition coil. I pulled the coil wire, and the...

:smt021 I just stepped out on my deck to look for the full moon... and it is freakin' snowing! ARGH!!! :smt013

Just another whine and cry thread about the dang snow! :smt089 After all, there ain't nothing else to do. In my neck of the woods they are predicting 7-10 inches by tomorrow afternoon. I am really starting to regret not putting the boat in dry covered storage this year. I'm sick and tired of...

I don't know if this has been posted here before...but I think it's worth a look. I just cannot believe how deadly this event could have been, and how easily it could have been prevented. What is wrong with a person's thinking? Drugs, alcohol, bravado, complacency? :wow...

Hey Gang, What do you guys have/use if anything at all, in your shower sump boxes (or bilge for that matter) that keeps the pumped water from coming right back? Were check valves ever used to prevent water from returning from long uphill runs of hose? The reason I ask is, I plan on using my...

Hey Guys, I'm interested in these newfangled toys and wondering if anyone has any first-hand user experience or reviews? Since the pitot driven lie-o-meter is non-functional on my 250, and I wouldn't trust it if it worked anyway...should I spend beaucoup money on a GPS truth-o-meter, or succumb...

Hey Gang... I got this '89 Alpha drive off a boneyard boat thinking I might be able to put it into service someday. Well, I tore it apart to find the upper and lower shafts are seized. I cannot rotate the gears in the upper or the prop shaft by hand. Haven't tried turning with a tool. It's a...

Sold! To a fellow who desperately needed this engine after he ran his low on oil and locked it up. Not a Sea Ray guy, but I don't fault him for that! Glad I could help out a fellow boater.

Hi Guys, Hopefully I'm posting this in the appropriate forum... My 250DA engine room is really loud while underway, almost to the point that I must shout at the admiral when sitting side by side at the helm. The only "insulation" that appears to be factory is a thin piece of foam rubber glued...

Hey Gang, I know at first glance this seems like a rhetorical question, but let me explain why I ask. My 250DA did not come with the factory air so I'm contemplating adding a system. Please see thread...

It's a MicroLogic Voyager US1 Just wondering as it came with the boat, but since I have no intentions of ever being on the ocean, and GPS has stolen Loran's thunder...I see no reason to keep it. Should I toss it or try finding a home for it. Perhaps a vintage electronics junkie out there would...

Hi Gang, I have an assortment of stainless hardware saved from a 1989 Sea Ray 180 Bowrider that I would like to sell as a group, but will certainly sell as individual pieces. Bow navigation light, Perko transom light socket, Perko deck fuel fill, four 6" long mooring cleats, understow boarding...

Hi Guys, I did a complete bellows and shift cable replacement recently and in doing so, had to remove the gimbal bell housing, which of course required removing the trim senders. Well, everything went back together smoothly, but now I cannot trim the drive UP. It will only trim down. The trim...

Hopefully I have posted in the correct forum... As most of you in the Midwest know, this summer has been brutal with record high temperatures...so much so, that we really haven't taken the cruiser out because it has been dangerously hot at times, and downright miserable at others. My logic for...

Hi Gang, I'm interested in attempting a round trip voyage this late summer/early fall down the mighty Ohio from Cincinnati to Louisville. This would most likely be a weekend event, and I'm trying to drum up interest in others who would like to join in. I have always been a lake boater, and...

Hi Guys, I have an assortment of stainless hardware saved from a 1989 Sea Ray 180 Bowrider that I would like to sell as a group, but will certainly sell as individual pieces. Bow navigation light fixture, Perko transom light socket, Perko deck fill, 3 1/2" ski tow eye, all four 6" long mooring...
