After having a terrible summer of boating this year, with everything from mechanical issues to the captain making some really bad decision, we have FINALLY had a great successful day on the water.
Although retrieval was a bit hectic, a single launch with a ton of people getting off the water...
So far this season has just not been a good one. Between the weather and some mechanical issues we have not had a good boating season. Last weekend I pulled the boat to change the prop due to some damage suffered during the last mechanical failure on the water.
The boat is now sitting in my...
Hey Guys - anyone know what it takes to replace a voltage regulator on a 165 HP 87 Seville? Also, does anyone have a part number on that as well?
Thanks for any help!
Do any of you subscribe to a tow service? Sea Tow, BoatUS Tow Service or any others?
We had an issue this weekend on the water, and besides the good folks of the boating community, I really had no idea who to call for assistance. I know I could have called for help on the VHF, but it was not an...
Hey Guys - just moved to upstate Ny (Syracuse area). Anyone have any recommendations for Marinas on Onedia Lake? We are looking for something on the West end of the lake.
Thanks for any help!
Does anyone ever build a frame and tarp over their boat? I was thinking of doing this, but I may be over doing things a bit (imagine that).
I was looking at this site and thought it might be a good idea. http://www.creativeshelters.com/
I like this one -...
Hey Guys,
This is my first year with the boat and storing it. I am planning on storing it indoors, probably not heated, but indoor anyway. I am having the boat winterized by a local marina so I know things are done correctly.
I have read people block up the trailer, any advantages?
I would...
In the floor of the Seville is a water ski storage area. In the stern portion of the storage area looks to be a drainage well area. Mine always has water in it. Should there be drainage from that area, or should the water just be sitting there?
Any help would be great, Thanks!
What direction should my vent louvers be facing? I noticed the other day I have the starboard side facing forward and the port side facing backwards.
Is this correct? or should the both face the same way?
We had the boat out today, everything ran great. Did some tubing, then anchored and went swimming. My daughter and her friend wanted to tube some more. So we fired up the Sea Ray and off we went. However, something didn't seem right, the boat seemed sluggish.... there was a weird rooster tail...
What kind of oil can I use in my '87 Seville 3.7 L Mercruiser 165 HP Motor?
It seems a bit low, but I am confused on what I can use. I have read that I can use ordinary 10W-40 Oil and then I have read that I can only use Marine Engine Oil.
I grabbed some Mobil Super 10W-40 High Mileage oil...
So we had the boat out for the third time since we got it. We had it out all day, anchored and swam, ran around the lake a bit anchored again, hung out, swam for a while then decided to head back. The boat fired up with no issues, had to get through a no wake zone to get get out of the swim...
I have to replace the bilge pump switch on my 87 Seville. Can I just purchase any toggle switch or do I need something that is waterproof? It looks like an ordinary toggle switch, but I don't want to replace it with something that going to cause an issue.
So I broke both the hinges that attache to the side windows on my 87 Seville. Anyone know where I can find replacement hinges? I have looked around online, but I can't seem to find the correct one.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
So we purchased our first Sea Ray today!! Its a 1987 21' Seville, its in great shape and super clean. My parents use to own the exact same one back in the late 80's. I can't wait to take it out for a run. We get to pick her up on Friday from the dealer. I think we will be spending the entire...
