I just completed restoring my 1990 220 DA. It has a 1998 5.7 with a Bravo I outdrive. It's time to downsize. I'll miss her!

It's been awhile since this post. I have a 1990 220DA and the previous owner cut the top and stern panel faces off of the aluminum fuel tank and dropped in a new plastic fuel tank. Of course it's a bit smaller but fits rather well. He used expandable filler between the aluminum and plastic to...
Anyone know where I can get a replacement table post or the plastic bushing on the end? I have only one pole and one of the bushings is missing. The plastic bushing has a 2" OD. I am unsure if it has a slight taper.
Anyone have any spare legs for the rear fold down seat they no longer need...
Re: New Dash
Can you email me a pic of your new gauge panel? How much did it cost you for the panel? Did they cut the holes and you installed everything? What was the turnaround time?

I rebuilt my back bench. The upholstery guy used PVC board. The PVC Board is flimsier than Plywood so I built 8 single leg supports out of PVC and Galvanized Flange Adapters similar to someone else here in the Forum. The only problem is access to the motor hatch is a pain because I can no longer...

Can anyone tell me the height of the legs under the rear fold down seat from where legs mount to the floor? Also, has anyone had any luck with redoing their gauge panel? Would anyone happen to have any original legs they might want to sell? I'm looking for the U-Shaped legs that require 2...
So I was out on the water 2 weekends ago and doing about 3000 RPM just cruising along then all of a sudden, the engine revs high. I throttled down and turned the engine off. I noticed the smell of burnt rubber and thought the prop shaft rubber spun. I had to be towed in. Thank goodness for...
My boat is 21 years old. I noticed while flushing the bilge with a garden hose that water was seeping out around the garboard drain fitting without the plug even in. It turns out that the fitting had been removed and refastened by the previous owner. The fitting was not centered so one of the...
My canvas guy is doing the mooring cover which will protect all of the cockpit and windshield glass. He's also doing the forward bimini and a half bimini for the rear which will start at the top of windshield to the stern. All the canvas will be Jocky Red from Sunbrella. He's going to charge me...
I reconstructed the original hinge design that Sea Ray used. I was able to reuse the original aluminum hinges. I replaced the hinge on the bolster though with a stainless steel hinge.
The "cables" you are referring to are either gray water hose or the wire harness from the gauge panel to the...
The only concern that I have is labeling the the switches and making them look somewhat nice. How would you go abot labeling the the switches or have you seen labels you can recommend? I saw some switch tags on ebay that are made of stainless steel that you can apply sticker labels to. Maybe...
Prater,
I did a search on 220DA Gauge Panels and saw in the past that you wanted to redo yours. Did you ever get around to it? If so what did you do? Did you take any pics that you can share?
I checked the oil and it was fine. The carb that I do have is not a marine carb, it's a regular 600 CFM Edelbrock 1406. I am going to install the rigged mickey mouse mercruiser fuel injected intake with a compatible edelbrock performer intake. As far as distributor goes, what does anyone...
LetsRock,
Your starter is located on the starboard side of the boat. Just above where the starter bolts to the block is a plate with your serial number on it.
