I do some woodworking and have used veneers for furniture, tables and cylindral columns. If it were me, for marine use, i would have the veneers applied with pressure vacuum. A cabinet shop could help you with that. Otherwise,, if you want to chance it, I would recommend at least using...

OYSTER color is best described as white with a slight grey tint to it. Sand is a white color, more best described as an off-white. Oyster was Sea Rays standard with the green color optional hull striping along the side gunwhale; Sand was an option with the green color. Sand was the standard...

A Mercruiser mechanic or Mercruiser Service @ Brunswick Corp can answer that question. I belive its a result of different intake manifold and modified jets; but don't hold me to that. One is usually listed as 7.4L MAG and 7.4L MAG HO (High Output). I do not believe there is much difference in...

I believe you will find the best deal with www.sairite.com The s.s. snaps can be purchased with brass or s.s. screws. Their female snap pliers are a good affordable option. most important is to keep those snaps lubed and dont use anythign that will attract dirt. Suggestion si to use "snap...

Go to www.austinhardware.com They have rubber gaskets with different profiles that should match yoru existing. be advised that you may have to purchase a bit more due to their minimum order but it is still a better deal than a dealer for www.trimlok.com Good Luck

I have a pair of oars from 1970 in almost great repairable used condition with uneven oar locks that you can insert into the rod holders. If you use a circular arm movement, holding the oar handles, at approximaely 32 RPM (rotations per minute) then you would have enough power for trolling or a...

Assuming that the HWH exchanger is good and in working condition, an engine maintenancne manual will give you specific instructions of where to connect to the engine. Meanwhile, the flow thru the HWH exchanger is both ways. Auxiliary Hot Water Heater Installation IMPORTANT: When connecting a...

Well there is Beeswax and Carnuba which will definately give your the best glossy shine (particularly with a dark color hull) but expect to do it a few times in salt water conditions. You can follow up with a coat of Paste Wax (I agree that Meguires is best) which may dull it a bit but "she"...

I look at it this way. If you can afford the boat; then a fill-up is a mear pittance. As for the 1985 390DA...it was known to be a gas hog; I believe Brunswick made slight changes to the hull design by 1988 for the 1989 390EC that improved the fuel economy a bit.

Early Model 8.1L had exhaust leak problems with the stainless risers. 1991 thur 1993. Since then its a FINE running machine and one of Mercruisers BEST engines. So good...I got TWO OF EM'. Based on published figures in January 2002, the engine delivers more horsepower and torque than any...

RITCHIE ! Is there any other at such price and quality?

The quesiton is not if you buy the boat but eh quesiton is how big of a boat should you buy? A 1995 - 355 is defiantely worth a 37-42 footer. Doncha think?

With a good marine mechanic adn electronics designer y ou can have inverters that can suppl;y enough power for just a TV, computer or large enough to easily handle an A/C Reverse Heat System. How much you wanna spend? That may be your only limitation.

No matter how much money I would be spending, I certianly would want to see how things operate and how the boat handles. Sea Trial should be a must. Survey a must and don't forget to have all grounding checked and engine oil & lower unit oil/transmisison lab test. A compression test is also...

I recently researched and reviewed different manufacturers. I always change out my batts every 3 yrs. I am more than satisfied with Wal-marts Deep Cycle batteries for cranking and for auxilary use. Group 27 or 31. Less than $100 each. Plate sizes are same as Interstate batts. I'm a happy...

If you contact Sea Ray in Knoxville, TN, and give them your Hull ID #, they can supply you with the original manufacturer option list, locaiton of plant where made adn the number of models made that year of yoru production. Sea Ray ID's their boats by calendar year however, their Production...

I can confirm a similar situation. I purchased a 268DA NEW in 1988. I had the 7.4L with the Alpha I drive (known then as a Sea Ray drive painted white) It had the newer gearing which held up to the torque of the 454 block. My firend had a 1987 250DA. I got better gas mileage. On a trip from...

Do a bit O' research. There are parts stores and Mercruiser website that show breakdown installations for the manifold and risers and proper gasket configurations. Mercruiser has a phone number for Fon duLac, Wi and the technical guys can advise you correctly. (careful of taking a salespersons...

AWE C'MON GUYS! Cant we all just try to get along? I have noticed that sometimes THREADS are closed when a person starts another thread with same topic instead of continuing thru on the current thread. It is frustrating also when some "voices" just criticize others comment when they are only...
