It is cold in Louisville on the Ohio River, and I thought it might be a good idea to replace my plug-wires and spark plugs this week. I have a 1989 Sea Ray 390 with HUGE Mercury engines.
Any advice on a good plug wire brand and plugs?
Thanks as always for the advice.
I had to replace both my impellers this year. Stupid Ohio River/ Harrods Creek. I pulled all the hoses and found most of the impeller pieces in the impeller housing, thermostat, and hose leading to the thermostat. You should be fine once you get most of the big pieces out and confirm you are NOT...
Hello Everyone,
I am ready to do my first oil change on a pair of HUGE Merc 454 V-8s in my 1989 Sea Ray 390. The engines have 1259 hours and run great. Any advice on the best engine oil to use on these behemoths? Thanks as always for the advice.

Good Morning All,

My Marine Air System (model #jrf4-0075) on my Sea Ray 390 is NOT blowing any heat. I was very cold watching football today. The AC works but no heat. The unit turns on, water comes out the side but no heat. Any thoughts....
Thanks
I just ordered my new boat heater from Bryan. He is a great guy and gave me free shipping and no sales tax. Thanks, Greg! Now my boat will not explode, and my engines will be warm.
I was working on winterizing my boat, and the stupid seacock handle broke. This is a perfect example of an easy job going wrong. I live in Louisville, Ky and was planning on keeping my boat in the water this year.
Questions:
Should I try and fix this in the water?
Any idea why the seacock was...
Hello All,
The 115 Volt AC circuits are dead. I checked the shore power, and it is on. I also checked the fuse. Does anyone have any additional advice on what might be the cause of the problem?
We got whacked last week by cold weather. Honestly, it was 70 degrees and sunny and crashed all the way down to 18 degrees in 2 days. Just crazy!
I did not have time to winterize my engines, so I put a space heater down in the bilge. To keep everything warm and happy.
My question: My power...
Hello,
I am trying to find bedding for my 1989 Sea Ray 390. The bed in the main room is a very weird shape. Any recommendation on where I can find the sheets/bedding that will fit? Sorry, kind of a lame question.
