Hi Paul An old thread I know but I just saw your very neat winch install. My boat is, I think very similar to yours (a 1998 215 EC) and I would very muck like to just fit an anchor roller as a guide. As you know there is no flat spot to really locate a roller on and the nav bi-light is very...

Hi all Having a tough time matching the gel coat on my 98 215 Express Cruiser to Spectrum Color’s part catalogue. Sea ray provided this part for my hull number - Valspar 5776W90129 (Arctic White). I provided this to Spectrum but they couldn’t find that part number. Unfortunately there are 3...

Mine is definitely an after market replacement but it had it when I bought the boat so I don't know where it came from. It works very well though. Similar to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amarine-made-Stainless-Steel-Telescoping-Ladder/dp/B00COCD2BG. You want at least a couple of rungs under the...

Hi all A delicate topic. We have access to pump out at our marina but currently have the regular porta-potti (962, I think), which needs to be manually removed and emptied. Not particularly pleasant but doable. I note that an MSD variant is available wtih pump out and vent lines. I see this...

If you are still looking to confirm hours, I can tell you I have the same boat and same gauges (also no hourmeter). The way to confirm them is to have an engineer plug in a scanner (assuming you have an efi or mpi engine). Mine is an early efi. The engine will report the exact hours using this...

Yes - one way or the other I am going to sort it out! If I can make the full rod holder/rod/shade combination work then I think I will give that a go as it would collapse down when not in use and could hopefully be erected and dismantled quite easily. If not it will be the camper frame. On a...

Hi Ollie Yes - the fishing is mainly for the kids - they love it (11 and 9 yrs old) and I did it with my father at their age. It's hard work but fun! Interesting that you are happy pulling off the rear camper frame as needed. I could do that but had been put off from experience removing the...

Hi Ollie Thanks very much for plowing through my long list! I appreciate it and will follow up on all of that. The existing cover does have a single pole and I think maybe it also needs a smaller one at the back or something similar to stop the pooling. It is not in great shape so I may have...

Hi all I picked up a 98 215 Express Cruiser in good operating condition mid-season this year. She is now berthed in brackish water on the south coast of England and I have just had her lifted (originally for service and antifoul before being returned to her slip). With lockdown in force in...
