RE: Removing seat backs for upholstery.
Can someone direct me how to remove the lounge seat back that raps around the seat, and the seat back between the loungs seat and the rear facing seat.
Often these are tricky with hidden screws. Thanks.
Also any issues with the captains seat?
I've replaced all the others and want the boat to look new.
Recently sold, I had a 2001 280 4.3 EFIs that I surveyed a few years ago with 275 hours and the numbers were all 185-200psi when done.
Thanks. Are you suggesting that even the port engine is low? Everywhere I've read, it seems like the more important factor is the consistency between cylinders and not as much how high the numbers are as long as they are closer to mid 100s. So does it sound like these engines are on their way out?

Yeah something is not right. Maybe worn but I dont think an engine with 600hrs would be worn and have low compression like that.
Hello all. Has anyone replaced or lubed the throttle cables? Mine are stiff and I am thinking of just lubing them. Any replies would be helpful.
Hey guys,
I want to re-caulk my rub rails and transom. The question I have is what kind of caulk should I use? The other question I have is the color of caulk ? the rub rails are clear , but my transom and vents are white. The Searay Dealer says to use white 5200 on everything. What do you guys have on your 280’s?
Thanks,
Jon

Thanks guys, I'll go with the 4200 instead.
Whats everyone's favorite oil filter to use on their merc 5.0's? Other than the marine ones. I'm reading the Purolator ones have better flow, filtering and are cheaper.
