water

I have a 2016 280SLX that is always in a hoist, and is always stored inside heated storage during colder months. Lately when cruising slowly, or just floating about, after about 30 minutes the auto-bilge warning comes on and pumps out roughly 2 gallons. I put it up on the hoist and floated...

87 Sea Ray SundancerAfter putting my boat in the water this year I filled the water tank and ran the sinks to flush. However I noticed after doing so I had standing water in the bottom step for the cabin below the driver’s bench above. I opened the little door under the cabin and there was...

Dear All , I have always some water in the ski locker on my SLX 250 ( 2008 model ) - i gues from rain via the anchor locker - and floor cleaning - now the problem is that after cleaning the whole ski locker and second bilge pump area, behind the wooden cover for the water tank pump, i found that...

I'm trying to locate the fresh water system pump in my 1983 Sea Ray Amberjack 255. Help? Thanks PNL

Hi Boaters, I have a 60 Sundancer and need some help with two issues. 1) Any recommendations on how to extend the time it takes before the fresh water “goes off”. I usually try to get away for three day weekends only to find the 2 hundred gallon water tank needs to be drained and refilled...

I had my factory deck scuppers out, while I took them to a shop an hour away. Severe thunderstorm with a few inches of rain while deck scupper removed for replacement. I see there is a gap between the fiberglass skin of the deck and the fiberglass of the hull. I had my drain plug out, because...

Hi guys I just bought a 1986 21ft searay 210 Seville cuddy cabin with a e-z load trailer. The po told me that it does take on some water and that he has taken it to a couple of marina's and they cant find the problem. I took it out for the first time to see and come to find out it did take in a...

I have a 1997 Sea Ray bowrider. It is an SR210 with a 250HP, 5.7L engine, non-EFI. I threw a rod recently. The mechanic thinks water went up the exhaust hose(s) to cause this. He said we had too many people on the boat. We had 10 people, with a total of about 1400 lbs. It is rated for 10...

Hello All, Anyone out there with a Sea Ray 355 Aft Cabin? I am the proud owner of a beautiful 1983 Sea Ray 355 Aft Cabin. I have many questions concerning the boat, from electrical to plumbing. Just want to know how many people actually still own this particular hull. Lots of difficultly...

I have a 2001 Sea Ray Sun Sport 290 For the life of me I can't figure out how to discharge the old water so I may add fresh water to the tank I don't know to activate the water in the cabin or bar. Also how often does those tanks need to be flushed out and how do you treat the tanks from...

I've had a continual issue with water getting into the gas tank since I've purchased the boat. I haven't been able to run it due to the alarm continually being on so it's kept me from using the boat. I've completely emptied the gas out of the tank two times and then water goes right back in...

Hello all I have a Sundancer 315 (European version of the 280) and for some reason I get water in the engine room (under the engine). The water is fresh water (I have tasted it, the best way to be sure). I can dry up everything. But after 3-4 weeks, especially if there has been a lot of...

I recently bought a slightly used 2011 Sea Ray 270 SLX. I love this boat, but one complaint is the built-in ski locker is constantly wet - which makes for a moldy environment for my skis and bumpers that I store in there. I would have thought the ski locker would drain back to the engine...

Ok, it's 'sixtysomething' again hoping to gather valuable info from my SWFs (searay web friends lol) Keep in mind pls that we are new to the site and just recently got our boat. Besides a great galley, our boat has a sink and wet bar outside, together with a very convenient icemaker! This is...

I have a 2000 Sea Ray 310 that has a small build up of water below the seating/sleeping aft cabin area that soaks the carpet. This is the lowest part of the cabin that dips down about 4 inches below the captains deck. There is a bilge pump below the carpet acess panels in the kitchen galley...

I have a 1988 SeaRay 23.5' boat and i'm getting what seems like a lot of water in the bilge. The automatic pump comes on every few hours and pumps it out, but i'm worried about what it might be. When I run the engine on dry land (with water of course), I don't get any water in the bilge, so...

There are a lot of threads I found on this generator and varying issues with shutdown. In reading those, I think I have an airlock issue. And if so, I haven't yet been able to purge all of the air from the system... My Kohler 5E ran fine all last fall. For spring maintenance, I replaced oil...

I have a 1997 Sea Ray 370 Aft Cabin which is my first boat. The boat launched from heated winter storage a week ago. Since that time I have been using tank water. Today, I turned off the water pump and hooked up the shore water to the water inlet on the transom. After a few hours, I found...
