Bob, that looks awesome. Still boggles my mind the way Sea Ray built this. Looking forward to see you on the water.

I wanted to update my thread, it has been about a year since taking owner ship of SeaHorse and she is back on the hard for winter. All systems are winterized and shrink wrap will go on any day. All in all she ran great, I have fixed most of the little stuff needing to be addressed and...

Zool, That is a cool center console!! I would love have a toy like that to take for a joy ride when the wife doesn't feel like boating. Do you have a thread on the restore? On my boat Sea Ray used Groco SV seacock valves like pictured below. They are serviceable a but apparently the repair...

Thats a bummer about the engine issues but I know you will get everything sorted out. My only real issue is the Groco SV thru hull seacock for the AC is stuck in the closed position so I can not run my AC. These valves were serviceable but have been out of production for 20+ years and rebuild...

Hey Zool, Just wondering how she is running?? Price of gas is keeping us in the river close to home, but we are running good.

Thanks for the info over on SROC forum, I ended up using a new UV resistant silicone sealant made by Pettit, it specifically mentioned hatches and deck hardware. I am sure it is similar to the 3M 4000. My hatch was difficult to get up it was glued down well except the back corner, which was...

The other day I was able to remove and re-seal the large V-berth hatch, here it is after fighting to get it out, sorry for my toes in the photo. It was sealed pretty well with the exception of the rear corners, especially in the upper left of the photo you can see dirt almost all the way to the...

Finally some nice weather, spent the last to days at the boat relaxing and tinkering. Yesterday after showing my wife how to turn on the batteries, I messed with the Nav light and they worked on either battery as I would expect them to. IDK maybe I have a ghost. Will monitor them. I did...

Between work and crappy weather we haven't been to the boat at all this week, headed there later today when the clouds go away. Then I am off all next week and plan to work on my growing list. Bob, I hear what your saying about grounding I have seen a bad ground cause all kinds of things. But...

Yesterday mother nature was finally nice to us NJ boaters, she gave us a 90 degree summer day with a light breeze. We were able to take the boat out for short ride mainly just to get some wheel time and experience with the twin inboard (4 sticks as I call it). All went well and I successfully...

Thats a crazy photo, definitely did not look like that when I took the wife through. It was a beautiful calm day she freaked out anyway.

I've been burned by cheap non oe parts for both car and boat parts. These days the aftermarket part cost the same as oe, except oe will last and aftermarket will fail and need to be replaced again, with oe. I installed at set of aftermarket bravo drive trim senders on a previous boat, they...

MV you are going with a lot more tech than me, I just replaced the existing Garmin that had no transducer connected with a Simrad Cruise 7. I had glued the transducer in the hull back when I had the exhaust off, easier access, so yesterday I ran the cable up to the dash. Pathway was pretty...

So far I have re bedded the 2 forward most bow rail stanchion and plan to do the next 2 when time permits. The rest reqire some disassembly to get at so, I will monitor them. Last weekend was a total rain out as was most of Friday and yesterday. So far I have found no interior leaks. I plan...

Zool, she is looking really great. I have to say you have done a much more extensive job than I could have ever done if we had purchased her. Looking forward to seeing her in the water. I was on the other forum last week and it got me thinking, what ever happened to the Imperial you were...

Thanks Zool, Headed there later today and will take a look, I already removed the panel under the wet bar but haven't take the one under the steering wheel yet. I just love laying under the dash! at least there is a bit more room than on the 250.

Motorvader, nice to see you here!! Got any pics of your new boat. My jig was nothing special it consisted of a piece of hardwood with a the appropriate size hole drilled straight on a drill press then clamped to the sliding door to guild my hand drill. Learned for Norm on New Yankee Workshop...

It's been a busy couple of weeks, but her are some photos of the parts used to repair the slides on cabin entry. It's made up of a 4mm bolt with a hex head that I ground flush to the bearing in the white roller which I think is 22 mm diameter and fit perfect into the tracks, then a spacer. I...

I forgot to measure the windshield screw cover yesterday, but this is the link I found on McmasterCarr, they have may sizes and this one is think is close. https://www.mcmaster.com/93725K172/

Zool, I want to thank you for the headliner cleaning tip. We have been using the 50/50 bleach and water mix, spraying small sections at a time and it's coming out great. Since my interior is still intact we need to be careful to keep things covered so as not to bleach stain things. Fyi...
