Wife and I are about to redo our back yard/patio and are considering adding a hot tub when we do. We've stopped at a couple of stores that sell them and have been casually looking, but it's somewhat confusing as to what is good and what is bad. Internet searches for reviews are so mixed it's...

Have the original 2007 Sea Ray (Shoreland'r) trailer that came with boat when I bought it new. Recently noticed the carpet seam on the bottom of one of the bunks had come loose and starting to sag. I assumed the staples were failing, but on closer inspection, the staples were intact and had...

After 13 years, yep 13, I finally had to replace the original battery that came with my boat when I bought it new. It's a 2007 185 sport that I took delivery of in the fall of 2006. When the boat is not in use, it sits on the trailer in a detached garage with a battery tender hooked to it. I...

I think I'm due to make some upgrades to improve my listening on my 2007 185 Sport and looking for advice from those that know more than me about this stuff. I may not get around to it until this winter, but may as well have a plan ready. My boat came with the wakeboard package which included...

I'm considering getting my kids (7&9 years old) some type of water bouncer as a joint birthday gift to use in the cove while out day boating. I'm thinking this would help keep them occupied while at anchor and allow the misses and I to relax a little bit without the constant "can we go tubing...

I finally got around to doing some upgrades this spring, some of which I've been putting off for way too long. My kids are finally getting old enough to really enjoy going out on the boat and don't need afternoon naps, so I hope to get a lot of use out of the boat this year. First was a...

Did anyone else see this?

I'm finally gonna pull the trigger and order a SeaDek swim platform pad for my boat. I think this will be a nice addition and improve the comfort and safety of the platform as it's becoming the place where my 5 and 7 year old like to hang out, play, and jump off of while at anchor. I've...

Anyone ever had to have their Clarion head unit repaired? When I got my boat out to get it ready for summer my Clarion M455 head unit would not power up. Hoping it would just be a bad fuse or corroded connection, I got out my volt meter and began troubleshooting and found I had power all the...

I have a 2007 185 sport and my fuel gauge has cracked and I'm trying to source a replacement. It's a teleflex brand, but I'm not seeing anything on the teleflex website that looks to be an identical replacement. I was hoping to just buy a new teleflex gauge from a marine supply house. Does...

Question for the experts: Can an automotive/paint rubbing compound be used on gel coat? I always use Meguires marine polish and wax, but I've got one small scratch that is going to need something more abbrasive and I have some automotive rubbing compound on hand and was just wondering if I...

Due to a tire blowout on my last trip, I'm in need of a new fender for the Shorelandr trailer my 185 came on. Called the local Searay dealer and to my surprise they do not handle any Shorelandr parts or service. I would have thought that by default any Searay dealer would be a Shorelandr...

Anyone else having the problem of the bow roller on your trailer rubbing badly on you gelcoat. The '06 and newer redesigned 185's and 195's seem to have a more "rounded" bow instead of coming to a sharp point. While I like the design and the added room up front. It seems the bow roller on the...
