Hi Brad, I have been looking for one of these tops myself. If I could find the frame I think I could get the cover done. I wonder if we could cut down and modify a 3 rib Bimini ? UPDATE: I see this post was from 2009... LOL

Hello Soulshine Its been raining steady here in Michigan with more on the way... I'll try to get a better photo between drops.

Thornton Yes I was thinking about trying to tap it. Or maybe have someone try to form the collar again by welding it and then tapping that. The other side was fine. But oddly enough was a smaller size. Is that normal ? Maybe that last owner tapped this side and used a larger plug ? I have...

The boat is a 1976. That’s all I got. And if you can’t see see the chip from that photo then thanks for your time and good day sir.

It’s a chip. I took a photo but it’s not the greatest. Kind blurry and I have covered the boat up for the night. The drain is in the center of the photo.

Hello Folks, I need some help or ideas. I bought a 1976 SRV 200 and I am winterizing it for the first time. I pulled the exhaust manifold plug to drain and when I went to put plug back in it was not threading hand tight. Upon closer inspection I see that the plug opening is chipped. I have no...

DWABoat I thought about doing the same temp switch swap as you.. But I had another issue to deal with (Spun prop hub) That is another post... LOL... Anyway... I lost out on the weather and so I'll winterize and think about it over the winter... Bellows are ok.. no leaks yet. My restoration...

That really looks nice... Getting excited to start work on mine...

Lol. Pushing both bypasses the trim control Sooooo. I guess we just keep an eye on the gauge and go from there.

I have the same issue. While I’m glad I can raise it that way to trailer it. It is not ideal to trim boat. I am going to investigate maybe an in line fuse ? I’ll post if I find one. I am trying to get around having to drop the OD to get at a bolt that holds the wires for the controller...

1976 Sea Ray 200 here. Mercuise 888. 188 HP Just picked it up. Going to start my restro this winter. Replace the interior. Trying to keep it original as possible. I’ll pull all the side panels and install new vinyl on them this winter. I’ll probably end up buying new seats not repairing old.

Hey Shawn. Yeah that’s the kicker. I watched a great vid on YouTube. But it looks like having to drop the OD to get at that bolt. Lol. Crazy. I guess if I can see it I can get at it somehow. The trick is getting it back on. Lol. I wonder how much a marina would charge. I mean the vid...

Hi Shawn, Thanks for the info... Even if its not what I wanted to hear LOL... I guess I'll just have to use both buttons for now and keep my eye on the gauge. Thanks again Matt

Yes. I just understand. 1976 has 3 buttons on dash. Push one to trim bow up. You get 17” of travel. Push two to raise up to raise it all the way for trailering. Bottom button is down. That works for tilt or trim.

hey folks. This is my first of probably many posts asking for help. I’m restoring a 1976 Sea Ray 200. Mercuiser 888. 188 Hp. My tilt trim has 3 buttons. 2-up And 1 down. The way I understand it. The top up button operates the trim. Pushing both top buttons will bypass the trim and will...
