Hi all, last summer my remote oil filter lines were showing signs of wear and were leaking oil into the bilge. It was a slow leak, but over time the bilge got pretty full of oil. A few months back i replaced the those lines with new ones and it appears the leak is no longer happening. Because i...
Brand new to boat ownership, and am hoping for some advice!
1. Boat will be on a lift outside my home with access to water/power. What type of trickle battery charger would be best? How many amps would I need? Do you also have an external battery charger for emergencies? What size would I need...
Does anyone have a cost estimate for cleaning and painting the hull of a 2006 260DA? I am looking at purchasing a 260 that will need this work done after I purchase it.
First time for Spring Commissioning and cleaning after the winter lay over. The interior of our 99 340 DA is in terrific shape but it could use a good cleaning. The cushions have some discoloring and the headliner and berth could use a good once over.
I was thinking bleach and some warm water...
I have had three boats not with the sliding step cabin doors. On thing that they all shared is the track is constantly collecting dirt, hair, grime and whatever else may fall down there. My method of keeping them running smoothly is constantly cleaning out the tracks and spraying under the door...
I am looking to re-paint my deck stripes for my spring project. The old ones are faded and a little cracked. Do I have to completely remove the old ones down to gel coat, or can I just scuff them up, clean with denatured alcohol, mask them off and paint over them? Second question, what type of...
Kind of wondering what you guys all use for different tasks on the boat (and if there's one thing that will work for everything, that would be great!). Here's a brief list of what I'm looking for, please feel free to add others! If I already have a selection I'll put it below, otherwise I'll...
Hi all - It's been a lot of years since I took general chemistry back in college. I have a Sea Ray 1983 Express Cruiser Twin CAT Diesel boat, and have noticed considerable pain-in-the-*ss accumulation of turquoise colored corrosion build-up on the sea valve inlets for (a) cooling the diesels...
Hello all,
I am a newbie and proud owner of a white/blue 2006 240 Sundancer. The boat has been launched and is in my slip. Had the bottom painted, outdrive serviced, and a sea trial during the purchase process.
At this point, I realize I never had a chance to wax the boat before launch...
Does anyone know if the gold metal Sea Ray emblems on each side of the boat are affixed with some sort of surface cement or are there studs that go thru the fiberglass with nuts holding them on? I want to clean mine and it would be much easier to do so if they're off the boat. Any suggestions on...
