I removed the throttle control lever to recover the side panel on my '87 Seville BR. I assumed the trim/tilts switch on the lever had matching wires, but it doesn't. It's a Quicksilver single lever with a tilt/trim switch with trailer mode switch on the handle. The actual switch has a short set...

As I'm doing the oil change on my '87 Sea Ray Seville I'm thinking "who came up with this design?" I have to pump the oil (all 4.5 quarts) out of the dipstick tube through an impossibly small hose. There's no way to get all of the oil out. There's no drain plug to even give one the option of...

My Searay owners manual says to winterize, I need to drain the water from the engine, everywhere. The majority of stuff I see online says to flush with marine anti freeze and leave it in the motor. i understand that draining and leaving empty could accelerate corrosion, but is that why the anti...

I'm looking for the model number on my 4.3 V6 OMC. The research I've done says it should be on what looks like thermostat housing. There's nothing there, nor on the valve covers. Is there another place to look, or if the ID plate is gone, is there a way to figure it out? It should be one of...

I need to replace the carpet on the bunks on my trailer. I'm planning to do one side at a time. is it possible to jack up the boat while on the trailer? I'll make a wood cradle to fit the keel and use a floor jack so I can hopefully slip the bunks out for re-carpeting. i would jack it up...

I just picked up (yesterday 9-11-13) a 1987 Seville 19 foot open bow that's in great shape. The gel coat is a little faded, but I've already started rubbing it out. It has the V-6 4.3l with a OMC Cobra outdrive. Everything works and it came with the original canvas and a ton of water toys. I...
