I need a top like a Bimini or a full camper cover. Looking for a good place to go for estimates. The local place gave $5000 for a camper without seeing the boat. I was told he is extrimly high. Wife likes to sleep on the deck but we have mosquito problems. So i am thinking of a Bimini that has a...

Loopers
To the question of " Loopers". Yes, it is going on " The Great Loop" This is a good read, from our newspaper. I hope i copy and past this URL ok.
This URL is about a young couple doing the loop in a
16-foot, open hull Duroboat ...
I am thinking of changing the name of my Sea Ray. Some say its superstitious or bad luck. The name on it is ok but i would like another i have in mind. Would like any thoughts on changing boat names. Good idea or bad?
NO!
I will do all I can to show off my Sea Ray. To take donations is like accepting cash for what gives me enjoyment, showing off my boat. If my guest have fun on my boat, that's all I need. When planning a trip with friends, sharing the cost is a given. Some friends will help me as I do...
Fixed it!
My gas gauge problem is solved. I removed the sending unit to find that the limit tabs were stopping the full movement of the gauge. I set the Empty limit tabs so the gauge read Empty to Full, but when I get the tank down to almost empty I will check it again. I would like a few...

Found it!!!!!!
Lazy Daze, your not going to believe it but your were right the first time. I expected to find it in the rear of the tank near the engine, close to the feed line to the engine. But it was at the other end! My Hard Top is fully carpeted on the inside so no access plate could be...
My gas gauge only works from ¼ to ¾ reading. Ware is, and how do I access the sending unit in my fuel tank to see if it is sticking? I have a 1977 SRV HT. Thanks…..:huh:
Thanks Hampton, that gives me some kind of an idea given all the variables.
Helms, I can do some electric work my self but I feel uneasy working with the gas gauge or sending unit. I think I will leave it to a mechanic to do so I know its done right and safe. I am big on safety, ask anyone...
Sorry about the typo John, I did mean MPG. My Hard Top is about 4,000 lb empty. Yes, its has a carb and the sterndrive is a 1.47 gear, Alpha . I know that on plane, about 22 mpr, the MPG is better but most of the time I just cruse around 10mph. The gas gauge works but not reading correctly...
Thanks everyone, glad to be joining you.
Hoosierhog, my HT has a mercruiser 233hp with a Alpha sterndrive. The Sterndrive I put on last fall. The old MR or pre-alpha 1.32 gear went out last year. I put it in a month ago to do the 5hr break-in. The new sterndrive is a 1.47 gear. I was...
I have a 1977 SRVHT, 233hp. Wonder what kind of MPG I should be getting? My gas gage wont go lower than 1/4 and no higher than 3/4 so I don't think it is working correctly. Probably a problem in the sending unit in the tank. Anyway would like to know about what I should be averaging for MPG...
