The factory painted plywood anchor hatch that came with our 1980 SRV 240 rotted out several years ago and I am looking to replace it. I currently have a plastic replacement hatch in place just to fill the hole (Thanks Jim). I would like to make a nice lacquered teak wood hatch instead to match...

First post in 6 years LOL. I have a 1979 Sea Ray SRV 240 with a Mercruiser 260 and I am going to be working on it to get it back to sea worthy. I wanted to upgrade the factory points style ignition system in it. I talked to my local boat shop today and the mechanic said that it couldn't be...

I am just about to start buying the exhaust parts to fix my screw up from last winter. I did the math to figure out the total cost of all the old style log manifold parts and found it was only a little less money then the upgrade to center riser kit. Has anyone done this upgrade? They say it is...

I own a 1979 SRV 240 with a Mercruiser 260. The boat was stored in Oxnard CA. when I received it and I had it stored there for a couple of years while I worked on it. It was running great when I moved it to my new house in the high desert. I ran the boat right after I towed it home with no...

Unfortunately both of the plastic window keepers on my side wing window broke off and during tow the window swung open. When I went to shut the window when we stopped, the window fell off in my hand! I am just glad it didn't fall out when I was driving. I tried to re-install the window last week...

I installed a Sierra impeller and housing on my Mercruiser 260 with a alpha one Gen 1 Drive yesterday. When I went to torque it down, I couldn't get the housing to hold torque spec. as I tightened it down it started to crush the housing stud posts. Anyone else have this problem with a Sierra...

I am in the process of getting my engine ready to start after having a problem with water in the oil. I thought the water was from the boat sitting uncovered in storage last winter but now I am starting to wonder. The motor is a 1979 Mercruiser 260. It still has the log style manifolds. I...

They only made the SRV 240 Weekender for 8 years (1972-1980) and I'm wondering how many are still out there and operational? There are a couple of very nice models posted on here but most of the ones you see around the net are beaters in scrap yards. :( Does anyone have any information on how...

I am currently working on restoring the trailer for my 24' SRV-240 and I am wondering what parts I should consider for replacing certain items on the trailer. Most of the data on these items has rusted away or the stickers have pealed off, so I have no idea what they are rated at. First, I need...

I know motors but am very new to the boating scene. My father-in-law passed away and left us a completely stock 1979 Sea Ray SRV 240 Cuddy Cabin cruiser. The motor in it is a factory Mercruiser 260. When he stored it he knew it was going to sit for a while so he had the motor gone through. The...

Been 3 years since I posted here. I finally moved our boat to a storage yard right down the street from our house about a year ago. It was previously stored down the street from my in-laws house about 60 miles away from us which made it impossible to work on. Over the last few months I have...

I have a 1979 25' SRV 240 Weekender with a Mecrcruiser 260. I have a few wires that are rotted out and so far the only thing I can see that is not working is the outdrive leveler. I am pretty sure where the wires go but I have no clue what needs to be in play for the leveler to even work. I got...

I have a 1979 SRV 240 Weekender with the 260 Mercruiser Chevy 350 and have been slowly getting it sea worthy. The engine runs decent but the idle is a little choppy. I am pretty sure the Quadra Jet carb is in desperate need of rebuild after sitting for 10 years. I am not a huge fan of the quadra...

I have been looking all over the place and so far haven't been able to find a boat cover that is a close match to my boat. Most of the companies that make covers only produce covers for boats back to 1991 or so. The specific boat I have is a 1979 SRV 240 Weekender Cuddy Cabin. The boat is 24'...

Hi My name is Robert and this is my first post :smt001 I went back several pages looking for answers that were close to what I am asking and couldn't find anything similar although I'm sure they will be repeats. We have a 1979 SRV 240 Weekender Cuddy Cabin that was recently givin to my wife...
