    Dock Ramp Ediquitte

    All I can think when I see power loading is one small slip, one wrong judgement, one horsefly bite on the captains arm and you crash your $20,000 (+++++) boat into your $20,000 (++++) vehicle -

    Departure Check List

    Our dealer told us we didn't need to flush the engine on our 185 Sport and we never have - we wash it down after each run - we are in salt water so we do it very carefully. Our manual told us HOW to flush but we were told several times there was no need. Should I go give our dealer and the...

    Bilge blower going

    If I posted this on the old forum I never saw any comments - I apoligize for a repeat if that's the case. So our bilge blower sounds like theres a cat stuck in it - called our dealer and they said = put some WD40 on the axel and if it still sounds bad it needs to be replaced. I guess they...

    windshields

    my husband LOVES rainx on his car - I'll check out all the helpful solutions - except the 260D - although that's the one we're most happy with- sounds like a great plan.

    windshields

    OK so I'm an idiot - I can't seem to keep our windsheild clean - my husband doesn't understand why it bothers me but all the salt spray looks awful - I must spray itdown with fresh water and wipe it off 5 times a trip and that's when I'm trying to relax - how do you keep your windshields clean...

    Sitting or Standing when steering boat.

    I find this interesting - the captain and I both sit most of the time - unless it's really nuts out there - but we do sit on the throwable floating seat cushions so we can see over the windshield - really bad design although it looks good - the 185 sport we looked at has the flip up seat and we...

    How was your Memorial Day weekend?

    Had an excellent weekend - Friday night - dead battary cause "someone" forgot to turn it off when they were listening to tunes while cleaning - but still out Friday for a sunset viewing - out Saturday from about 2 to 7pm - the Admiral slept and the Captain tossed a hook in the water over and...

    POLLEN STAINS

    Gotcha Steve but it was the Admiral posting - Captain was too busy trying to remember all the cleaning products he ordered last night online. the $50 GCert we got from someone as part of the wedding gifts cost us $175 more in other items! The good news is you are all right - we had wiped it up...

    POLLEN STAINS

    POLLEN STAINS - ok we need to re- scotch guard or something our boat cover - BUT even at that - we took it off to load the boat up with some new things we got for wedding gifts (married 5/17) and the whole sun pad on the back is stained with yellow marks - looks like pollen leak thru? Anyone...

    Sea Ray 185 owners

    we were told by our dealer NOBA was the only way to go - did it right there in his office - $275 I think and it sounded pretty darn cheap - no issues.

    Midway - I printed out your photos for the fisherman in the family and while he was annoyed to see our dash has less room - he loved your modifications - but SurfSide wouldn't do that exactly so last I knew we had the GPS to the left of the steering wheel hopefully not in the way and the fish...

    185 and bimini top

    We love the bimini - wouldn't want to not have it - we put it up and down all day when we're out it's so easy - want to nap in the shade up it goes - want to zip around in the sun it gets stowed - we've only had it in the - flat position once or twice - - never gets in the way - tell kids and...

    185 Sport Thread....

    thanks guys - I have already talked to him and it seems he'd checked and we might be able to have the GPS mounted where the remote at the helm is on the models with the stereo up-grade - we didn't get that :smt009 we are thinking of asking if the fish finder could be mounted on the passenger...

    GPS and Fish Finder OK I need help FAST - I bought a Garmin GPS and a Fish Finder for our boat and wanted to surprise my better half - so he dropped the boat off for it to be "summerized" and I dropped the two items off and asked that the Marina install them in logical spaces around the dash -...

    *** Warning about boat selling online ***

    Had a similar experience on ebay when selling our jet boat - my first tip off was the obviously very bad use of the English language from someone who claimed to be from England - so I casually mentioned this and asked where he was from - he got very annoyed. Then when in insisted he make a...

    Scotch Guard

    Yes, it is from Greatlakesboatcompany. I checked that a while back. I think the salesman is going to look into something for us - we'll see when we go to pick it up next week.

    185 Sport Thread....

    If the Captain found out that there was anchor storage on our model Sea Ray LAST year I'd have to seriously steer towards calmer waters. We LOVE the boat but did see an 04 and couldn't figure out why Sea Ray bothered messing with that design so much. Just makes no sense
