This is a 1979 / 24ft SeaRay Cuddy Cabin with a 5.7L/Chevy350, 260Hp motor coupled to an Alpha 1 / Generation 1 / 50.1 Out drive. It sits on a 24ft double axle Gator Trailer. This trailer is solid with only the surge actuator and brake lines left to replace for this complete trailer...

Use a hand staple gun. Only $19.00 at any hardware store. They very depending on the crown *(Width of the Head)** and the length. Measure the thickness of the wood and purchase the proper length staple so it doesn't poke through the other side. The wider the crown the better. Depending on...

Reupholstered Cushions I redid mine with marine grade canvas in marine blue. Is it a factory quality job, No but boy did it make a HUGE difference in the appearance of the cuddy of my 1979 24ft SRV. It was 10.99 at our local Jo-Ann Fabrics Store. I used a coupon that they give out every week...

I have a 1979 24ft SRV Cuddy with the tank down the middle of the floor. I had to remove all hoses, anti siphon valve, unscrew the sending unit and remove the plugs. I placed a 4x4 across the boat just behind the windshield, from rail to rail. I used a come along but placed a S hook in the...

I just pulled mine and power washed it inside and out. mine was a 70gal tank and I'm guessing yours is also. John

Sorry

I hope all your restoration work is going well. As for my anchor hatch, I have a hatch just like the one that goes into the V-berth. I think that is what you are referring to. Hope this helps with what you wanted to know. If you want, I can take a picture tomorrow for you. Just let me...

I had asked a similar question on another site and this is what was told to me.... Raw water cooled is 145F. That can change due to water temp that is coming into the motor/ winter time. Close water cooled and if it is an older engine (pre vortec ) running temp is set at 155F. Newer...

Here is a pic off the back of my 26' Sea Ray And here is a pic off the back of my 21ft Center Console

Mine didn't have one so I put one in. It is an in line auto flat fuse type you splice in. The cost about 5.00 at the local auto parts store. It's supposed to be in between your key switch and your amp meter. If yours is not there, it might be up under the dash by the gauges. You have to...

Just wanted to wish Everyone a Happy 4th ! John

I found these schematics of the wiring diagrams of the Mercruiser 5.7L wire harness and gauges. I thought I would share them for everyone to use. I did solve my problems and figure out what all the "wires" were and the only thing I have left to wire up is the trim sender to the gauge and...

WoW! I found the exact schematic of all wiring to my motor and all accessories. The purple and blue wire go to the trim up limit switch to prevent trimming up to far while under way and separating from the gimble bearing flare. A brown/white wire is spliced to a solid purple that goes to the...

I think the 2 blue wires tied together and the purple wire are high and low limit switches for the trim/tilt. I have trim tabs also. So once I get the motor where I want it, I would use the Trim Tabs more often. Just did some more troubleshooting and found that from the 3 prong plug up to...

OK, Now I'm chasing electrical gremlins. I fixed the no start problem and verooooommmm, it started right up. Now my trim tilt is not working. I don't know????My question is I have power to the pump through the solenoids down to the wire harness. From there the 4 wires go up to the...

I'm new to boats and I'm trying to do a lot of maintenance and upgrades myself. It's tough when info is limited but It's a challenge and after it's done and fixed, It's satisfying. Well I'm definitely not at that stage yet. LOL Does anyone have a good diagram of the merc 5.7L wiring? I have...

Here is my non-expert .02 cents. You said that you never used a stainless prop. From what I have read and heard is that the blades do not flex near as much and gives a better push or thrust. Aluminum blades really flex trying to push that big of a boat on a single prop. It should make a...

I have been to Brielle NJ before. I've been February wreck fishing for Cod off the Jamaica. That's just it. When I bought my boat it didn't have any seats or even a engine cowl cover. I had to fab everything just to get buy for the first year. I don't have anything to re-vinyl. I would...

I'd take it for the seats and cushions. I need all new vinyl. I'm in Bear Delaware. How far away is it from 19701?
