    What do you use to monitor your dock/boat?

    This is cheap, but you have to have wifi available. http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/Cameras I have one of these and use it at home.

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    The boat has been stored for years with the bow up, but with the drains clogged, so I am sure it held a lot of water, and it soaked in. Now I have all the drains clear, and I keep the nose up so it will drain. It does not take on any water while boating, so there is not much water running out...

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    Victory! :smt038 We solved the problem. It was the reversal of the 3 and 5 spark plug wires. :smt021 The Sea Ray will now come out of the hole and run great with 5 onboard. I was able to get it up to 44 mph at 4500 rpm with my stainless steel quicksilver 19p prop. Thanks everyone for your...

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    Thanks Travis. I read the article and these are good points. I will get a marine carb as soon as I figure out if we are going to keep this boat or not. I will look into the 1409. I also just looked up the trailer weights from shorelander, and discoverd my trailer probably weighs about 750...

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    Short answer, 3 and 5 plug wires were mixed up, we will try it on the water tonight, but I feel sure this fixed it. Dennis, I came up with the trialer weight by taking the weight of the 17 foot trailer and adding a little. My trailer is pretty minimal with rollers and the boat...

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    Here is an update: The boat is water logged: weighs 4160 lbs. No improvement in performance yet. We tried taking the gas cap off at the suggestion of a member here, but unfortunately it did not help. We have not yet tried some of the other items on his list. We took it to a local truck stop...

    Hello from a new Club Sea Ray member.

    Tell me about your 200BR's! What is the highest rpm you can reach, what is your top speed? I can only manage about 3500 rpm and 35mph. I know this boat should reach 4600 rpm and 45 mph. I have a 19p prop, and had two adults and one child on board.

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    Repairing the fuel line didn't help. The most we can get out of the 200BR is 3500 rpm and 35 mph. The motor runs smooth and we can't figure what could be causing the low rpm/speed. Anywone with an 89 200BR, please tell me what speed and rpm you run. Thanks,

    New jet drive concept

    I own a jetboat and a prop boat. From what I see there is nothing special about the quickjet. It seems to have the same sort of reverse mechanism as a jetski. Like my 1970's jetboat, it just reverses the water flow with a gate that drops in front of the jet stream. The intellejet system looks...

    front wheel drive pulling a boat

    "Scraping the boating idea" is NEVER an option! :smt021 Here's my current tow rig: Your van will do great.

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    I have a friend who is working on the sea ray and we are going to share usage. I actually don't have anything to tow it with right now anyway. I tow my 18 foot jetboat with my cavalier. He found a problem with the crusty fuel line today and thinks it is blocking some flow. I will update...

    Hello from a new Club Sea Ray member.

    I thought I did update my sig. Maybe it does not post retroactive. This is a little test to see what shows up in my sig now. Thanks for the welcome. That looks just like my boat, except mine is red where your's was green!

    200BR 205HP 4.3 v6 with a 19p prop. Slow to plane

    I am hoping someone has a solution to this problem. My 1989 200BR is very slow to come on plane, and will barely go 30mph at 3,000 rpm. Runs real smooth, just very sluggish. I do have a car caburetor on it, but I had this problem before i put the carb on it. The original carb was stolen while it...

    Hello from a new Club Sea Ray member.

    I just got back from the maiden voyage of my 1989 SeaRay 200BR. I actually bought this boat several years ago for my dad. We experimented with it some and didn't get it running very good. It sat for about 3 years and now I turned it over to a friend of mine who cleaned it up and put a...
