Happy Thanksgiving.
Looking for some recommendations on a canvas shop to have a custom mooring or bow/cockpit covers made on a 2005 Sundeck 240. Would like something that will work with my bimini in the slip.
Close to Central PA Harrisburg / Lancaster areas but will drive for a good...
Good morning. Need a recommendation on a reputable dealer or mechanic in the central pa area. I will drive for a good place that will do the job right and communicate.
Long story short, just purchased a new to us 2005 Sea Ray Sundeck 240. It was previously used at times in saltwater and...
Good afternoon. Haven't posted in a few years, but just bought a new to us 2005 Searay Sundeck 240, so back to the Searay family after years with a FourWinns.
This afternoon I replaced my dash panels with new units from FP Marine. I needed to disconnect the trim tab switches from the back...
Good morning all. I am planning on replacing my existing PAR-Mate water pressure pump due to excessive noise when running and at idle and very low pressure. I could rebuilt but decided to just upgrade to a new unit and replace all fittings. My current model has a 2.5 GPM rating. I have no...
Good morning.
This morning I was watching the news and its showed a family with 3 little children waiting for a Red Cross food truck in the snow for a hot meal. The Red Cross truck only had so many meals and of course children received food first. This broke my heart. I am a BIG food guy...
I found this video from Hurricane Earl. I'm sure we can all relate with the emotions going through this owner. But my question is, where were they going to go? Nice job saving her though!

There are very few companies, especially in this economy, that would stand behind a 22 year old product without question, then on top of it, send the needed replacement parts at no cost.
I had a leaking trim actuator on my port side, never had an issue with these units before. I PMed Tom...
I ordered and am ready to install a new style steering actuator for my braov1. I am removing the leaking saginaw style ram and bought the new style gray unit. It bolts right in no problems. When I was researching the upgrade, i got help on here and also did a lot of internet searching and read...
I have developed a nasty internal leak on my Saginaw style steering actuator at the transom. I found a few used units on eBay. But is there a way to install a newer style unit that is still on the market for parts support and such? Has anyone ever rebuilt a Saginaw style ram and where did you...
Very sad of course. This was a rough holiday for our young boaters. Reason #1 why you don't swim near docks.

First off, thank you to everyone that gave great advice and recommendations for our first trip to the 1000 Islands. Alexandria Bay and Clayton were great stops. Great food and people. Here are just a few pics.
Tied up in our slip at Grass Pointe State Park
One of my favorite pics of the boat...
Getting the boat ready for our vacation tomorrow and I found that I believe my temp gauge sender is bad. Im getting no reading on my brand new Teleflex Sahara gauge. I am having a very hard time finding one of these in stock anywhere around here. Does anyone know a cross reference sender for an...
So I'm in my shop getting our SeaRay ready for a much anticipated vacation to the 1000 Islands next week and I see the admiral and 15 month old little girl walking slowly over. My daughter was struggling with carrying a box and trying to to stay upright...haha. Wife says, I wanted to give you...
We are going to be going up to the 1000 Islands for a short vacation next week. We have friends who have a nice sized camper and they are staying at Grass Point State Park. They also have slips for rent so that is where we are going to be tying up.
My question is, what should I know? I know...
Had a wonderful first weekend out last weekend with the admiral and little girl. Coming in on Sunday wind kicked up and it turned into a very challenging docking situation. While my wife got the truck and trailer, I deployed fenders to briefly tie up. The dock we tied to had a section where the...
OK. In a bit of haste, I was hurrying a little bit and was re-installing my trim pump. I had removed it to replace the cracked reservoir. When hooking everything back up, I accidentally crossed the high and low pressure hoses. I installed the gray on the UP port and the black on the DOWN...
Hey guys. Question. When I was winterizing this past fall, one of my brass drain plugs on the starboard side of the block is just about stripped. Obviously not the plug, but the block. It does grab just a bit, and did not leak a drop of antifreeze over the winter. I personally don't trust...
I just got done wiring in all new gauges. Lights DID NOT work before. I traced all the power and ground wires to a black box, approx 2"x3" with a auto spade type fuse in it. I bypassed the dimmer knob...connected the black to the ground bus under the dash and connected the yellow and green...
