That's what I will do. Thank you everyone.

Would the age of manufacture help decide if its galvanized or not? And I had a few guys at the firehouse recommend plastidip. This way I can change the color to blue as well as sealing the trailer from the elements.

Quick question for the masses. I purchased a new-to-me trailer that should be arriving tomorrow. This model is a galvanized steel like my previous model. However, it is coming from Arizona, so hopefully none of the rust issues. The seller stated he had the trailer sandblasted and repainted...

Much appreciated everyone. Seems like the same boating rules as here in Illinois. Hope to see some of you down there!

Getting out on the water already?!?! I am jealous, I was just about to take the shrink wrap off the boat. That was until the weather man brought out some great news of a possible snow fall on Monday. After the late start last year, I cant wait anymore..

I definitely am excited for my first trip down there. There are a total of 12 people going. So I know that pretty much puts somebody in every seat including the cuddy. But the boat will only be that loaded for when we go to party cove. For the watersports I am not even gonna try to go out in...

I just don't want to be "that" guy who everyone laughs at..

First off, thank you everyone for the replies. I will be coming down for the Memorial Day weekend so I know it will be busy. A bunch of couples from high school all try to go on 2-3 vacations a year together. And what better way to start off the summer than in a vacation home and on the lake...

I will be taking a full set of bearings, grease, and miscilanious lights. Plus, the trailer is at the marina presently for start-of-the-year service. I will be towing with a 1997 Ford F250. This grand ole steed as been rock solid since the day I bought her. And the 7.3L is practically...

I was just hoping to pick up some knowledge from you all. I will be trailering my boat from a Chicago suburb down to a rental in Osage Beach. I am curious on what exactly I will need to be in compliance with Missouri law. Also, any helpful tips and interesting things to do would be great. We...

I appreciate the help!

Hey guys, random I know. But I am looking for a sea water pump assembly for a 97 merc 7.4L part #46-807151A8. I am also looking for a camper canvas for a 1997 SeaRay240 Overnighter Preferably in Blue, but I could deal with a black.

Took off the lower unit on the outdrive to get a look at the water passages. Those were all clear. So I read about the water line through the transom possibly getting kinked and I took a look and saw nothing. Next I unhooked the supply line into the raw water pump and forced water from the...

I originally replaced the impeller and then took it out on the river for what I thought would be a day of boating. But before I could get far enough away from the dock, she over heated. Got it home, checked the impeller and she was toast. Bought a new kit and was checking the water flow, and...

So I was out playing with it this morning. This is what I can further tell you. I was not able to get water to flow from the outdrive up through the inlet hose. But when I reversed this, water poured out of the outdrive. I wasjust about ready to throw $600 dollars at purchasing an all new sea...

Alright guys, sorry for the delay. I was able to find the problem. Turns out, the Sea water pump bearings went to crap. So I was extremely lucky that merc set up both the fuel and water pump to run off this. Saved my motor. I was able to rebuild it and get her going today with new parts and...

Also, a few days ago, When I started the motor. I noticed a gurgling sound from somewhere in the engine compartment. After I revved it up, the sound went away. Could this be the water pump or a busted hose?

I have a 1997 SeaRay 240 overnighter with the 7.4L mercruiser. Im pretty new to boating so any help would be appreciated. Today I was out on the river cruising at about3000rpm when my tach suddenly went haywire and dove to 6000rpm without the motor ever increasing. And then suddenly, the motor...
