With such a great response I cannot thank everyone individually for their responses. Just want to say we really appreciate all the feedback and will definitely use it to assist us in our ongoing search for our next Sea Ray. There are some great boats other than SR out there but having access to...

A fellow boater once told me that enjoyment of your boat is all about maximum beam width (among other things of course). In this regard, we are looking to upgrade from our 225 Weekender to a 280 DA. Looking through the archives, in 2010 it looks like Sea Ray put the 280 on a diet and the beam...

I have purchased new port lights for my '04 225 to replace existing which have a few cracks. Watching a few You Tube videos on this subject it appears to be more of a task than I had envisioned. Should I have also bought new trim rings as well because it looks like there is a possibility of...

I have been happy with the Meguiar’s products for our vehicles as well as the boat. They make a boat wash that they promise does not strip the wax. There have been numerous references to Woody’s so I am intrigued to give their products a try as well.

Thanks gentlemen. Makes sense. Have a good boating season out there.

We have a 225 Sea Ray; two batteries. Just putting them back in for the new season. Is the cranking battery always the forward one and #1 on the shut off switch? Or does it vary from model to model; year to year? I cannot see the back of the shut off to trace the lines so hoping there is a...

Has anyone tried the Sure Step products from Aurora Marine? The kit for the entire two or three step process is costly but if it works as well as they say in the promo video then may be worth it.

Steve, did you find a solution to your problem with the carpet backing?

Thanks for this guidance. I finally ordered it and just finished applying it this week. Looks like it is going to work very well.

That is encouraging. Not sure where I would look for plasti dip. Same type of product as the link provided by Cliff who also kindly replied to this query?

In our 2004 Weekender 225 the backing on the snap in carpets is breaking down. The carpets and snaps are in very good condition so before we go to the expense of replacing all the carpets is there any product out there that will extend the life of the backing and stop the "shedding" that is...

Thanks for all those replies. Most helpful. Tender is a good one but I believe that they sold me the wrong one for my application.

We replaced our batteries this summer and want to maintain them properly. Have bought a battery tender that is the correct size for the two batteries but cannot get a clear answer on how to hook them up when there is a battery switch involved. Do I have to have the switch on "Both" in order to...

Thanks for that reply. What you say makes sense. We will use this chart plotter for rest of the season and then make electronics the focus of our trip to the Vancouver boat show next January.

That is the housing that separated on our boat and caused our problem.

We just purchased an older 225 and had water in bilge after an initial run. Was the water distribution housing; lower right side of a 5 litre mercruiser. Apparently a common place for leaks to occur as can crack in winter if not properly drained. Not too expensive to replace and no more leakage...

Just back into boating after 15 year hiatus. Loving our 225 Weekender but new to electronics. Our chart plotter tells us to upgrade data each time we turn it on. It has a C Map card in it dated Feb2013. Local dealer quotes $260 for new card. We are wondering if worth doing the upgrade (assuming...
