Spent a very nice weekend on Lake Patoka in Southern Indiana. Very Nice, clean lake. Saw a good number of Sea Rays here. Only problm was the jerk on the jet ski zooming around us as we were tied up with another boat. When I asked him to stop, he threw out a vulger threat. That's when the marine...

Just in case anyone is interested, I have a Navy Blue Sea Ray bimini boot for sale CHEAP on ebay. I think it is for a 18' to 20' Boat. Got it with my 220SD, but it was too small.

WOW! this is a fun thread. Don't know too much about the fuel economy for this application, and the original poster probably doesn't care. He just wanted to know if the engine was too small. So...as to that point, it really depends on the design and weight of the 182. I had an Ebbtide 182...

No...I saw it on Lake Norfork (Mountain Home Arkansas) just about a mile south of the 101 bridge in the east side of the lake

Looked like a late '80s or 90s 270DA or maybe a bit larger. Blue trim.

Tried that, but his user mame must be different than the boat name.

Just got back from Lake Norfork in ARK. I saw a Sea Ray with the name "Mental Floss" that I'm pretty sure I;ve seen on CSR. Nice Boat. and a Great! week on the lake.

That does seem to be "your thing".

Good call Scott. It's nice to see that there is someone who doesn't get their panties in a knot over a question being asked more than once. :smt038

Thanks all...this gives me peace of mind.

Nobody?

Anyone know what the normal operating temp should be on this engine configuration? Just had mine out, and it is staying just slightly above 170. Is this normal? what is yours running at? I just bought the boat last august, and don't quite remember what it was doing last year. Seems to be doing...

A low voltage situation (ie a run down battery, or bad power connection) will cause the unit to power up and shut down with it's internal fault protection.

If you trailer your boat, there is a great product out there that I use every time I pull out the boat and wipe it down. It is called Bass Boat Saver. It's an all in one product that protects and shines with just a spray on-wipe off. If you google Bass Boat Saver, you will find it. It's...

Well. Talked to the marine shop here, and they said that a rubber mallet and a 4x4 backer and some elbow grease might just do the trick. Short of that, it may take welding a new skeg on (by them). So. after a day and a half of pounding my skeg...:smt043I got it straightened out.

Started to pull my 220 SD without realizing the drive was down. Now I have a skeg that looks like a captive killer whale fin. ( :smt013 Any suggestions on how to straighten? should I heat it up to straighten?

Thanks guys, you've been a big help!

Thanks for all the info on the oil draining. Now, does anyone have a recommendation on oil weight? I'm without an owners manual, and web sites are all over the books... Synthetic?:huh::smt100

Hey! Thanks for all your help. I'll crawl back there and look for the hose. Report back later.

I thought I'd do it myself, but I can't find how to drain the oil. I thought when I bought this "used" that the dealer told me there was a valve with a line to drain out of the stern plug drain hole. Is this correct, and if so, where is the valve? If not, do I heed a pump to drain the oil?:huh:
