    The fact that the transom switch works up and down mean the senders on the lower unit are working but the wiring from pump to shifter or the switch on the shifter are bad.

    back seat for 88 300 weekender

    I had the same boat and I redid the cushions with sunbrella and it was simple. The cushions were plywood and foam covered with sunbrella. They were 2 separate boxes that held them up. I think you could build them yourself if you have basic power tools and a staple gun.

    5.7 efi (tbi) starting crank time

    I have the same motor but a 97 and I have a sound that is strange to me. It is the same sound I hear on the video except no squealing,I have had many carbed 5.7's and never made that sound. This is my first fuel injected 5.7 and not sure if it's normal or not. It starts and runs great.

    there is a small latch on the slide that you have to pull out. make sure it locks back in place when you fold back up. the latch will be on the side of the seat towards the middle of the boat. if you look at the rail or slide under the cushions you will see the latch

    floor of 97 230 ov

    I have a 97 230 ov and was curious about the fiberglass floor in the cockpit. It looks like separate pieces and not just one piece because there is caulk where the pieces have been possibly joined together. It looks like it was done at the factory. No major concern just curious if that was how...

    Anyone Behr Deckover or Similar Product on your pier?

    Read the reviews on Behr Deck Over and I'm sure you will not use it. I used Behr Premium waterproof stain which is also water based instead of oil base and it covers great and lasts a long time. 36.95 a gallon
