Hi, I have a 2007 Sea Ray 185 sport with a 4.3 TKS. Can anyone tell me the recommended operating temp once warmed up? I put a new thermostat in it last season but it still seems like it was running hot. Maybe around 180 or so. Maybe that's not hot and I'm misinformed. Any guidance would be...

Hi All, I have a 2007 Sea Ray 185 Sport. The bolt knobs to loosen and lower the tower are frozen / seized - it seems the previous owner never moved / lubricated them so that they would remain in working order. I would like to lower the tower for the winter as it will make it easier for...

Looking in the engine compartment I do see a wooden frame (or maybe plastic) in the center that appears to be bolted to the fiberglass. I was thinking of unbolting that frame to see if that would then remove the entire seat back but was unsure. Thanks!

Thank you. Yes, the back seat bases were just mounted with velcro but the backs appear to be bolted on.

Hello. I recently purchased a 2010 Sea Ray 185 Sport. Unfortunately the vinyl was not cared for very well by the former owner and it needs replacement. I have taken out the captains chairs and the bow cushions as well as the sun deck cushions and have removed the vinyl myself to take to an...
