Cup/bottle holders, the two sliding cabinets on the port side are/were Sea Rays answer to a bar. The smaller door is a sink and the larger door is for bottles and glasses.

Not really sure what your referring too or in general?

My dash was made by Technografic after I redesigned it. My switch panels were made by Flounder Pounder with back lighting of the wording, also redesigned. The dash itself was changed years ago to be one flat panel instead of the two offset panels.

I'll post some pic's if I get tot he boat this week.
 
Here is the full helm shot. I relocated and added the very bottom panels. The two switch panels are contura switches with icon and description.

Hi all! I have 1988 Detroits. What is the shaft diameter? Thanks!

Thought your FB post's said you had Cats? Anyway, if 6v92 Detroit's that are 475hp, like mine, then 2" shafts.

What's wrong with yours?

If your considering repowering then I would consider newer engines then Detroit's. Unless you know your way around a Detroit, specifically the 6v92, your better off with Cummings or something like that.

Not repowering just because I dinged my props. Looking for a spare set.

Thats confusing at best, asking about Detroit shaft size when you have cat's makes no sense. If you have cat's then you need to measure your shaft, I believe the shaft was smaller. The cat's are less horse power.

Thank you sir! I also understand they should be cupped to reduce cavitation?

I am about to reduce the pitch in mine to 26x25.5 cupped. The engines are old and could use a little brake. Also you need to make sure you can achieve WOT of 2300RPM - really 2350.

How many hours are on them?
Also, could you please share pics of your engine room? I’m starting to clean and organize mine.
Thanks again!
