Well established fact is Sea Ray is known for factory installed trim tabs are very undersized. Call Bennett and ask them to recommend replacements that will keep the bow down.

Start the good port engine and press the parallel start switch while you attempt to start the starboard engine. Get the batteries load tested or just replace them. Cheap insurance.

Does your boat have an "emergency/parallel" start switch on the dash? How old are the batteries?

Some prop pullers won't work on 4 blade props so if you want to be able to use it some day to pull your 4 blades makes sure it can do that as well.

It would be a good idea to remove and clean that flame arrester. It will restrict air flow to the engine.

Just bought this Chevy SSr. On a transport from St. Louis to Mass.

Keep the carbs and have them rebuilt/tuned and add electric chokes. Install HEI ignition distributors. I have run Qjet carbs with DUI (Davis Unified Ignition) distributors for 9 years with no issues.

Sounds like your surveyor (if you did a survey) didn't do a very thorough job. If no survey it's all on you.

If the engines have fresh water cooling you can use automotive gaskets. For the CW engine you would need to source the CW rear main seal separately.

I suspect it's an add on but potentially dangerous one. If the 2 outside receptacles are connected to shore power check to see if the cockpit receptacle is live. If it is someone could get electrocuted by the exposed terminals. Doesn't matter if there is a hinged cover on them.

Of course timing could be an issue but start by checking the condition of the distributor cap and rotor. If moisture is present it will cause ignition cross over and cause those symptoms.

One way for you to determine if the engine is reverse rotation is to check the location of the plug wires on top of the distributor. Compare to the port engine. My guess is by 1992 both engines are standard rotation and one has a reverse rotation outdrive.

She misspelled "overcome"

There was a 1983 360 being parted out in Quincy,Ma at Mass Marine Parts not long ago.

Is there a woman somewhere under all those tats?

Start simple. Make sure the oil level is correct.

At my yacht club the majority of generator problems are with Kohlers. With all makes the most problems are with newer boats that have computer controlled integrated generators that tie into the carbon manoxide detectors. The older simpler generators seem to have very few problems.

For everything other the engines Walmart has the RV stuff for under $4. The engine AF is running around $7 for -50*.

I bought a my 37 year old Sea Ray 13 years ago. It had the old style Tides Strong Seals in it when I bought the boat. !3 years later they have yet to leak a drop. I don't understand why people have trouble getting dripless seal to work properly.

Rebuild the carbs and reseal the well plugs when rebuilding. Convert to electric chokes and be patient getting them set correctly. I did this to my 454s along with Racor fuel filters and even after sitting all winter they start without pumping the throttles. They will crank for 3-5 seconds but I...
