Hi all, The bilge pump on my 185 has failed. The unit itself is easy to remove but I cant see where the wiring connects to the main loom, it just seems to run off under the engine but I cant see where it goes after that. Anyone know it there are connectors or if I'm going to have to cut and...

Its got a US HIN number so I'm guessing it was from the states but what factory not a clue....

I've got a 2004 as well, prefer the layout of the older (pre 2006 model) but I guess thats a personal thing. Mine has the twin back to back sunlounger optional seats which suits my usage. :thumbsup:

I dont have a compression tester so it will have to wait until the boat has its end of season service (which isn't long)...

Thanks for the reply, Its a carbed 190hp engine. As I say, it appears to run fine, smooth, near silent idle and doesn't sound laboured or poor running through the rev range. The motor is immaculately clean and I have service records so it doesn't appear to have been left to rot so to speak...

Hi all, Just a quick question if anyone can advise please. My 2004 185 Sport with 4.3 has a Mercury Vengance stainless 21p prop (added by the previous onwer I guess). The Sea Ray parts list I have states the boat should have a 23p on it. The reason I ask is the boat wont rev out at WOT and...

Hi Nick, Another UK user here... whereabouts are you? One of my friends imported a Sundancer 240 from the states and used these people. All went smoothly... :thumbsup: http://www.completefreight.net Approx costs were as follows... 1.7% import duty 17.5% VAT £145.00 customs clearance...

Hi there, The owners manual is on the Sea Ray site... its 18 pages so not sure if its the one you're talking about above though but I've attached a link. Hope this helps and enjoy your new toy :thumbsup...

Hi guys, After a bit of advice here really. My ignition switch broke while out last night which spoilt a fantastic evenings boating leaving me stranded unable to start the boat and in need of a tow back to port (fortunately not too far) but this got me thinking. Do any of you guys carry an...

Searay's website has archives of all the boat specs...:thumbsup: http://international.searay.com/Archives_Manuals/Sea_Ray_Archives/1995/25%20feet%20and%20below/175BR_SS.pdf

OK, thanks for clearing this up guys, just used to car gauges which tend to read the operating temp in the middle range of the gauge...:smt038

No probs, not sure what the risers are but I'm sure I can find out. I'm experienced mechanically so not going to do anything stupid, dont worry.

Hi, Just thought I'd pop in and say hello to all. Had a Sea Ray 185 Sport for a couple of months now (my first boat) and finally got to use it after we eventually had some nice weather in the UK :grin: I work for Sunseeker so if anyone has any questions (unliely on here I guess) feel free to...

hehehe :smt043Dont worry, I wasn't planning on grabbing it and holding on for dear life.

Will do, expect the oh god I've burn't the skin off my hands on the exhaust manifold post next.. :grin: I hope you're not pulling my leg :smt101

Ah, OK, thanks for the very quick reply :thumbsup:

Hi Guys, Just after a bit of advice really. My 2004 185 with 4.3 Merc seems to have a rather random temperature gauge. It never seems to return to the stop when you turn off the engine and stops at around the 170 mark. It also seems to read just over 170 when running, now this strikes me...

Hi peeps, just got myself a 2004 185 sport, cant wait to get it into the water if the weather ever improves :smt009 (I'm UK based)... excuse the cack picture :smt001
