    Oil cooler for 8.1L

    I have a never been installed oil cooler for an 8.1L motor. I never got around to changing it before I sold my 360. I also have extra nuts, bolts, and studs for a manifold replacement project. When I replaced my manifolds, I was able to reuse most of the studs, bolts, washers, and nuts. I...

    8.1L oil cooler and transmission cooler

    I've ordered the oil coolers and transmission coolers from Mr.Cool and plan on replacing them this weekend. How difficult is this task? The starboard oil cooler will be a challenge, but everything else seems straight forward. Any helpful advice in prepping?

    Replacing my CruiseAir 16000BTU system

    My CruiseAir compressor failed. Should I replace the whole system, or just the compressor? The system is 11 years old. The drain pan is very rusty. I'm thinking, replace the whole system, since they should be more efficient. What do y'all think? I'm in South Georgia, and I run the system all...

    AC fan issue

    On my 360, my fan is always on, even when the AC compressor cuts off. I would think this would function like your home HVAC system, when the temp hits the set temp, the fan and compressor cuts off. Is this normal? The unit is on auto, and everything else functions as expected. I keep the temp on...

    Sea flush and barnicle buster

    I hate to admit it, but I suffered from low flow.... On my AC discharge that is. I don't want to sound like a commercial, but I used the SeaFlush kit and some Barnicle Buster and she was as good as new. I paid my marina twice as much for this service last year. And now that I have the SeaFlush...

    Cold weather boating

    I am taking the boat out tomorrow and it's still pretty cold out. Just wanted to get some input from the "cold" weather boater's out there from up north... It looks like we are only getting up to a high in the 70's tomorrow and we are probably going to need a light wind breaker. Sorry, I just...

    Heat Exchanger Maintenance

    What should I do to perform maintenance on my heat exchangers? It looks like I may have a small leak from the end cap of my port heat exchanger. Possibly from a leaking gasket on the end cap? There has never been any accumulation of fluid in the ER that I can see, and my AF levels are good. I...

    Why I love working on my boat...

    I spent today working on changing the oil on my mains and generator, as well as changing the anode and spark plugs on my 7.3 W Kohler generator. I had just as much enjoyment today as I would have had with the family on the water. While some may pay others to work on their boat, I would encourage...

    HI-TEK Marine manifold is it worth the price?

    For those of you who have changed out your OEM mercruiser manifolds, risers, and elbows to the HI-TEK marine manifolds, was it worth it? I'm not really looking for perfomance improvement, however I would not turn down better MPG! I'm looking for reliability and not having to change these out...

    Shore power and breakers

    For those of you that keep your boat hooked up on shore power, what breakers do you leave on while away from the boat?

    Sub woofer quit.

    While out, listening to the radio, I lost all bass. The sub is no longer working. Is there a fuse to replace? I checked the connections to the sub, and they seem good. Any ideas? There is no sound, cracking, or anything coming from sub.

    Impeller issue from Mercruiser

    I wanted to let the forum know about my recent issue with changing my impellers... My impellers were working fine, but I wanted to go ahead and do the yearly change. Well the tech called me and told me that the new impellers were put in, but the pumps would not pump water, so I needed to...

    Moving on up

    I am no longer an active SeaRay owner. We sold the SeaDawg in December and am actively looking for the next SeaRay. Since I'm 6'3" there are some priorities for the next boat. We loved our 240DA and had a blast with her. But there were some shortcomings when it came to a guy my size. We have...

    Scam of the century on Craigslist

    Yesterday I was on CL looking at the boats section. Believe it or not, I came across a 2006 260DA with generator, air, low hours and a dual axle trailer for... $9,800. Knowing this was a scam, I contacted him saying I was very interested, just to see how far it would go. He replied and said the...

    Beware of the ankle cutting device...

    I'm not sure if all SeaRay's have this upgrade, but I found mine yesterday. As I was loading the boat to go back to the marina I decided to only step down on the first step in the cabin, as I was wet and didn't want to drip water on the carpet. Well as I was stepping back out, my ankle caught...

    Life has come full circle

    This past weekend, I was able to take my son out fishing in the Wassaw sound. We caught a few fish, but generally had a great time. Later that afternoon as we were talking about how much fun we had, I remembered doing the same thing with my father on his SeaRay. Gentlemen, life is good! Our...
