Hi All,
I'm looking for info on the best ways to try and sell our boat.
We'd like to sell it as is haven't ran it in a year and it needs a trailer.
Current trailer has front right axle break. Boat would make a good project boat and the interior is in great shape.
I just don't know what the must...
We have a 1977 SRV 260 we are looking to sell. I wanted to find out from some folks here what all info I should need to list to do this. I also wanted to find out if listing it in the classifieds on the site is a better way than local listings. Any help or thoughts are appreciated.
Wondering if you have the Camper for your boat? I have one just like her and would love to find out how to get a template for the camper. I also need to redo the current canvas as I can't drive the boat with the canvas up. It attaches to the windshield on a slant and being over 6'2" I have to...
Head looks just like ours, The hose you see on the right of your pic goes to the waste pump out port on the side of the boat. (at least on ours it does) Ours does not have a Macerator. I know there are many different setups so anything is possible.
Mech working on our boat to replace the Gimbal says he thinks the Exhaust Collector has been leaking. He stated that there was so much corision he couldn't get through the opening to turn the bolts to get the Gimbal ring off to finish replacing it. He suggests that we may need a New Exhaust...
Hi,
I'm looking for a used Mercruiser Gimbal Housing.
This is for a Alpha 1 Gen II. Transom S/N is 0L270966
Part number should be 43881A16
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tommy
Found a crack on both sides of what I am being told is the intermediate drive. This is the section between the outdrive and the transom. The cracks are at the very bottom where the hydraulic lines for the tilt and trim attach. Local guy here in southport NC says it ain't worth fixing.... Says I...
Used some of the OR today on our 1977....
I think this has been let go for years... I used the buffer until the OR was no longer visible but had areas of the boat after wiping down still look like they absorbed the color of the OR.
After wiping down I noiced the boat when looking on an angle...
Thanks guy's... I will look for a Switch in the compartment... If there will test and replace as needed. I do take this seriously as I like a dry boat :smt001 I'm just not sure what is normal and what is not. Several things need to be checked and repaired/replaced on here but most items seem to...
Our boats engine comp seems to be gaining a bit of water while sitting in the lake last weekend... Nothing large but every couple hours I'd flip it on and pump for about 15 sec.
My question is should this area be on a float switch for the bilge pump? I see boats at the docks which pum off when...
See knew I was forgetting important info....
The Engine is a 350ci/260HP
WOT I was getting about 45k-46k but only 23-24.5 MPH
I was playing with the motor trim but having a hard time.
I'm used to a small outboard I can see and the small boat you can really feel when the motor is up or down. Not...
Took out 260 out again today first time since replacing the thermostat (165). Temp was usually just above the 170 mark by about a needles widthh and lake was 85 so seemed reasonable.
With that seemingly fixed found several other issues that I need some direction on. The trim tabs up and Dn gage...
I thought about the out the side thing but am concerned about where it will come out being very close to the water line? Did yours manage to come out well above the water line? I'm with you on the water in a compartment thing....Bad news when that happens. By the way I see you have a camper. Did...
We have a 1977 SRV 260.
The drain in the last step before stepping on the teak entering the cabin is draining slow. When we rinse down the boat it washes over the step and into the cabon before we can rinse everything off. This drain goes into the bilge area infront of the bunk area in the...
Ok so how can I determine exactly what enging type I have so I get the correct Thermostat? Is there a plate on the motor somewhere? I looked but didn't see one.
I'd like to find out year and HP and such. Was told it was a Mercruiser 350 it has a Alpha 1 with VenSura SS Prop 14 Dia, 19 Pitch. Not...
Ok.... I'm more confused about this engine temp...
I replaced the clamp on the hose and reset the hose onto the post. The water hose through the hull goes to the bottom post on the pump and the hose that came off was the top hose. This hose goes down one side of the motor across the stern of the...
