The port side headrest fell off of my 200 Sport yesterday. Anyone know how it is supposed to be attached? It looks like some clips potentially.

5.0L Carb. For some reason the Engine/Transom/Drive serial numbers that should be listed on the flame arrestor are just BLANK! Any idea where else I can get the serial number off the block/heads? I looked around as much as I could to no avail. Thanks!

2005 Merc 5.0 with only 155hrs. Tried to start the boat and engine seized after about a half crank. Found water in two cylinders after pulling all plugs. I'm a car guy and have rebuilt an engine before but still learning specifics with boats, so in my world it would be cylinders 5 & 6 since...

I noticed lately that my two snap straps to the engine compartment lid of my 210 Sport have been very tight... to the point where i had to sit on it to get it to snap. So yesterday when preparing the boat to go out i was checking the engine out and went to close the lid and noticed that the...

Very minor scratches around the eyehook on the front of my boat and some black marks that will come off with some elbow grease, however I feel the need to report this one. Yesterday I was anchored front and back in Party Cove. A bit of wind but i was not moving pretty much at all. I'm in the...

I have an issue with my right blinker and brake on my trailer. Left works fine (when my connection at the hitch works). Anyway, i found a junction right below the bow of the boat where the single wires from the truck junction are split to go down both sides of the trailer to the rear in the...

Didn't see that anyone else has shared this yet... WOW! :wow: http://failblog.org/2010/01/12/boat-launch-fail/ Doesn't look like a Sea Ray to me... not sure what kind... but wow. What a loss :smt009

EDIT: Deal is Dead, now $50/pair. Still a decent price though at $25/speaker. Since these are great speakers for boats, thought I'd pass this along for anyone looking to upgrade their boat system (or car)...

I winterized by pulling the 2 plugs on the exhaust risers and the 1 on the front of the engine. I forgot to do the 2 down low on the block somehow (one on each side close to oil pan). Hard to see them without sticking your head down in there. Anyway, i took the hoses off for both risers and...

Edit: Video here to show what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIIjeuWUvX8 Edit 2: I took the drive apart tonight and put it back together. Everything looked fine, doing the same thing, except one big thing I noticed... the water coming out of the spot in the later half of...

This might be different in other states, but I just noticed that here in Texas when I did my refinance just over a month ago I was charged a lot of fees that I didn't notice. I was expecting a title transfer ($10 i think), and that's really about it. Two in particular stood out though. $25...

Alpha 1. Searched the forum and couldn't really find an answer. Impeller is $20. Kit looks to be $110-150. Big difference. Is it more of a "while you're in there" thing, or is there a point at which you need to do the kit? My 200 sport is a 2005, and when I bought the boat last August the...

Was thinking about this tonight after reading about the frequency of zinc changes on a boat that's wet slipped all year round. Obviously the drive has it on a stern drive, but where are they on the v's? Wondering if there is any way to replace them myself while in the water at all, or if it's...

My house is $750/mo. 3bd/2.5bath 2200sq ft 1991, nice two story place on a 1/8th acre plot in Dallas with two small ponds at the bottom of my yard and golf course just past that. The slip I am looking into with an upgraded boat is $325/mo ($3900/yr) for 30x13 (lowest price they have to hold...

Advice for upgrading to 27-30' sundancer in the next couple/few years I've had a 2005 200 sport for about a year now and have had a really great experience owning my own boat so far. I've obviously started to meet friends with larger and more expensive boats, so I've been learning a lot about...

2nd day on the lake this season today and had a problem with my engine running rough again. First time was Sat, and it only happened for a little while. It idled fine except a couple times. Putting it into gear at idle to troll was ok most of the time, but a little bit of gas and rpm's would...

Taken out of my 2005 SeaRay Sport 200. All work perfectly. $40 for head unit $40 for the pair of speakers. If you're interested in either separately, let me know.

I have read through the manual for my 200 sport lately while I'm adding a second battery. There are all kinds of warnings about sparks from batteries in a boat due to gas vapor build up. Since I smell a bit of the normal gas vapor around the engine since getting my boat, and the bilge blower...

I'm on a Boat, feat. T-Pain, by Lonely Planet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU (be sure to watch in HD) BTW, if you haven't watched this video... HAVE to. This is definitely my boat theme song this summer :D

I stopped by a prop place at first to have them help me with a stuck lugnut on my trailer wheel, but then the guy showed me that my prop needed work. 2 of the 3 fins were bent a bit and it was chipped on the edges. I agreed to have him refurb it for $45. Picked it up today and it looks brand...
