I am in final stages of purchasing a 1984 Sea Ray 360 Aft Cabin with gas engines. I am a long time boater but new to Sea Ray and new to gas engines. Last boat was a Gulfstar 38MC with Perkins Diesel power.
Previous owner passed away so I have no one to ask questions about the boat. The family tells me for fuel the owner would bring in barrels of ethanol free gas. I plan on crusing often and will no doubt fuel up at marinas that I would assume sell gas with ethanol. What should I look for on the switch from ethanol free to fuel sold at a marina?
Also, anyone who owns/operates a 360 Aft Cabin I am looking for as much info as I can. Again since I am not familar with gas engines, I need to know the proper proceedure for engine start up. How long to run blowers before starting? Any hatches that need to be opened prior to start up? Does anyone have an estimate on fuel consumption at different speeds/rpm's? Any tips, things to look for etc greatly appreciated. For direct contact email rholleman@mindspring.com
Thank you in advance
