I have had the 24' Weekender sitting for the past 5 years in my driveway. Before that it was in the water at a marina at Lake Lanier where it got flooded. $1400.00 later at a mechanics to get a new starter, the fuel tank flushed and some Othe misc. items and the I towed it home where it has...

Has anyone swapped out a 351W stringer motor I/O for a Diesel plant? If so, what was required? Would it be possible to keep the old OMC electric I/O? I imagine a whole power plant I/O would be required as a swap. The gasoline issue for older engines is getting to be real hassle now. I don't...

Is there any future plans to make the ClubSeaRay Forums fit on Mobile or PDA devices?

I just found out about this product. I was looking at what it would take to convert my 1977 24' WE from a OMC 235 Electric stringer to a Mercruiser Alpha. Part of the conversion is to go from a BIG hole in the transom to a small hole in the transom. This SeaCast product seems to be one way...

I posted this in the Electrical section. Maybe it goes in this one instead... I just replaced the external voltage regulator on my OMC 235 engine (Ford 351W) and now I can't turn the engine off with the ignition switch. The engine keeps going even with the switch in the off position. I've...

While really getting to know my 1977 OMC 235 (Ford 351) engine, I discovered the output of the pvc valve is just exhausting into the engine compartment. Cough, cough, cough, gassp ! I see that some of the later model Flame Arrestors have the output from the PC valve going into a connection...

I am a relative newbie to handling a boat larger than a 18ft skiboat. The 1977 240WE without power handles like a raft with no rudder. The wind will push the boat all over the place after going into neutral. Even if you were moving at 2-3 knots approaching a dock. It is as though the I/O...

Whilest preparing the BobNLee for the first 2008 trip. I setup the water intake hookup for the on-the-trailer test. I turned the water on very slightly and climbed into the boat. Wow, where did all that water come from in the engine bilge area? It was just pouring out from the sides of the...

Well, I took my1991 GMC Suburban R2500 and the 1977 Sea Ray 240 Weekender to Oconee Lake, GA last week. Took all the galley stuff off as well as the head. Not allowed on Oconee. No sleep overs , I guess. Along the way I stopped at a TA TruckStop in Madison, GA and weighed the whole rig...

I wonder what the regulations are on powering a marine engine with Propane? Is the Coast Guard for such a vessel? Or are there a multitude of restrictions on the use of Propane powered engines in recreational watercraft? I'm Googling/Yahooing that topic today. If any one has any...

Has anyone had any negatives about the spray-on stuff for carpet bunks? Does it really work and will it harm the boat gelcoat overr a period of time? What about the plastic bunk cover replacement stuff? Does it deform and eventually spread away from the pressure point like teflon...

I'm getting the run around from the GA DOT about the location of a scale(s) to weigh my Boat, trailer, and Suburban. Need one in the Lawrenceville/Snellville area. I got a good idea of what I have in weight. But, I want to be sure.

Hi! I just found out that Lake Oconee restricts boat size to 30' and under. Plus, no galley, no sleeping quarters or toilet facilities can be on board. The GA. Legislature passed a bill in 03/07 to restrict the boat size to 30'. They don't want Houseboats. I understand the Reynolds...

I 've been watching the water levels at several lakes around the Atlanta area going one direction, down. Even Lake Oconee has dropped waaay down. How about Lake Hartwell, Lake Strom Thurmond, Lake Russell? Anyone from out that way with any good news?

After doing some of the engine and I/O repairs I'm starting on the interior stuff. I've read some posts about removing the alcohol stove...REALLY GOOD IDEA ! I tried using that appliance. The alcohol smells nice, but the near invisible flame makes it dangerous below decks. I'm retrofitting a...

Hi ! After really getting into the refurb of my 1977 240WE I/O , I became aware of the lack of parts being stocked for this fine craft. I was at a marina out on Lake Oconee (just in case Lanier becomes a dust bowl) and was being shown the boat storage yard and I happened to see a bunch of...

I was testing my repair job, see "The Intermediate I/O swapout" June 18, on Lake Lanier. The engine starts and idles like a dream. No overheating, no stalls, except when I'm about to go on plane, then there is a loud BANG-THUD and the engine shakes until I back down on the throttle. The...

See my previous post about swapping out a Electric to a Cobra unit. The original Intermediate unit looked like swiss cheese. I found a intermediate housing unit that looked brand new on eBay. The old one has a rubberboot collar 10.5" dia. and the new one is 15.5". Parts used:(OMC p/ns)...

My srv240 needs the I/O (electric) swapped out. The intermediate case is almost toast. The engine, OMC ford 351, is in great shape. This version of the I/O is really hard and expensive to keep up. I was looking to do a swap to a Cobra I/O. Can I do this and keep the engine? Any...
