    Water in Power Trim Oil

    re: Alpha One Stern Drive 2009 The oil in my power trim oil reservoir is milky. I've pumped it out and replaced it twice and it turns milky in about a week to ten days. I had a look in the stern drive manual to disassemble the cylinders to replace the seals and it mentions a special tool...

    Water in Battery Compartment

    Just curious to find out if water accumualtion in the battery compartment of my 1987 Sorrento S24 is normal? The compartment is about 3 inches deep and currently has about 1 inch of water (see photo). There doesn't appear to be a drain into the bilge. If you look closely in the top left...

    Loose Steering Wheel 87 Sorrento S24

    The steering wheel on my 87 Sorrento S24 is loose or perhaps best described as it wobbles. The steering itself works perfectly its just the steering wheel needs to be tightened up as I'm sure it wasn't built that way. I'm leery of opening a can of worms and possibly doing some damage not...

    To bottom Paint or Not?

    I'm relatively new to boating. I've owned a 1987 Seville 17BR for the past 3 summers with a painted bottom. This year I noticed a few blisters at the water line where there is no paint. I just picked up a new to me 1987 Sorrento S24 with no bottom paint. This boat has always been...

    1989 220 OV 4.3L Re-Power WOT Speed

    I'm considering the purchase of a 1989 220 overnighter that was re-powered with a new 4.3L (175 HP) mercruiser engine in 2007. The seller says it will reach a top speed of 28 MPH at WOT of 4200 RPM. This seems low to me. The dry weight is 3500 lbs. This is the smallest of the three options...

    1977 and 1989 Sea Ray 220 Overnighter

    I currently own a 1987 Sevile 17br which I love and it works great. My wife and I are looking to move up to a day crusier one on which we can cook and sleep on if we want to. The older 220 overnighters are the best compromise as compared to a BR we've seen where you can cook on the deck and...
