With only the two rear speakers I want to put some up front but cant come up with a good spot. I am sure others have tackled this problem. Anyone have any pictures of what they did? Thanks
I got my oil analysis back today and it showed high silicon. I am looking for an alternative to the stock flame arrestor. Does anyone have any good options that fit the stock carb? I have see a few just bolt on old style filter/cover assemblies but what do you do about the crank case lines that...
Its a 2005 185 BR 4.3
It only has 40 hours so no major maintance is needed. I just feel like I forgot something this time. Let me know what else you may suggest.
1. Bring motor to temp and fogged Motor
2. Pulled both block plugs, pulled both manifold plugs and water pump plug and replaced...
I was in a hurry and ever since I backed it into the garage and covered it, I feel like I forgot something..

I am conflicted, I have a 2005 185 sport with the 4.3. Being 5 years old there are alot of maintenance type items people are suggesting to me. The problem is my boat only has 31 hours on it. I change the oil every other season and winterize it myself. I only boat in fresh water so salt is...
When I bought these I would have swore the back of my 2005 185 was flat. I dident even notice it was not until I had already drilled the holes for the first hinge. They say teh hinge and cylinder need to be mounted on the same plane. I dont know if I should cut my losses and forget about the...
Anyone replace their standard plastic cupholders with the stainless cupholders that come on higher models? My 185 Sport came with the plastic ones and the SS ones would look great. Do they fit? What is the cost? Thanks
I am stumped.. I need to get the half tank of gas out of my 185 because a little over a year ago we had a baby and our boating has been limited over the last two years so the gas in it is two years old, that makes it 3 years old next summer!
Anyways, I bought a drill motor pump and fabbed...
We boat only on large inland fresh water and it seems quite often the chop is just too much for my 185. I love the boat and would never sell it besides this problem. Would an upgrade to a true 21' boat make the difference in the chop worth the upgrade? This upgrade would cost $10,000. If it...
My 2005 185 Sport does not even have 20 hours on it but I think one or more plugs got fouled two seasons ago during or after fogging. It seems a little down on power and diesels some times at shut off. I have worked on a lot of cars/trucks but never a boat. I was going to go with the oem Merc...
Can you believe some one stoops that low? My boat is never outside unless its in the harbor at Higgins lake so they had to swim over in 10 feet of water to take it.. I would have gave them $20 if they were really that hard up...:huh:
Hello to everyone, I am an owner of a 2005 185 BR here in Michigan. This is my second Searay and I am very happy about that. I bought my boat new and enjoy it on Higgins Lake as much as possible.
