amberjack

So I am back with another question - I recently purchased a 1985 AJ 255 sort of sight unseen. lol I sent my brother to look at what was advertised as a "1980's Searay 22' boat". He did the deal on my behalf and sent me the keys/title. When I went today to check it out at the marina slip, it is...

I'm looking for a replacement sink preferably oem but if anyone has a good idea for a usable solution please let me know.

I think there should be a knob or 2 to stop it from sliding. The holes on either side of the latch that converts it from a back-to-back seat to a lay down lounger don't have threads. What am I missing? This pic shows the latch and one of the holes to the left of it

I'm looking at buying an '03 AmberJack 209 with big 6.2L engines from the 2nd owner of the boat. He has had it @7 years and said is has always listed on the starboard side. Is this a common thing on AmberJacks? He seems honest but the listing seems odd. The battery's seem to be the only items on...

I'm trying to locate the fresh water system pump in my 1983 Sea Ray Amberjack 255. Help? Thanks PNL

Hi everyone. My name is Craig, and I joined this forum yesterday. Father of four, from Gosford NSW Australia (60mi north of Sydney), and we own a 2007 SeaRay 250 Amberjack. We've had it for years now, and it has 55 hours on it. This is our backyard, and our boat is just to the right of the...

Hi all, something of any 290 AJ owners have switched to 4 blade props and if so what pitch and what was the performance impact. Switched to 4 blades this year and down nearly 600 rpm (hovering around 4500rpm). They said same 22 pitch should be fine, I thought down 1 though. Now they want to...

Hi All, I am still in the hunt. Before I pull the cord on a much more expensive mid 80s Tiara 2700 with dual Crusaders (or an even more expensive Albie), I may have happened upon a well maintained mid 80s AJ 255, powered by a single Merc 330/TRS setup. I know eventually I will want to swap the...

Just purchased a new-to-me AJ in November. (already posted this in the "official AJ" thread - but now my wife is on me to fix it as she doesn't want to deal w/ mold and wet carpets blah blah (even though we're not at the boat until the weekend) Noticed when we started to use it, that the door...

I've read a lot of windlass threads. I'm still stumped on why our Sea Ray 2000 290 Amberjack windlass (Lofrans Progress 1) has stopped working. The facts: 1. I did not know I was supposed to tie off the chain to the cleat to take pressure off the windlass. And we were pulled along in the wind...

I brought my amberjack home to store in my barn for the winter and now realize that it is taller than my 12' door. So I either have to have have a new, taller door put in, or try to temporarily remove the arch in order to fit through the door. Has anyone ever attempted to remove the arch? If...

Hi everybody, I just bought a Amberjack 290 2001. I am working on the boat to do some reparation. I spent many hours on the net to find information about this boat. I found the "OWNER'S MANUEL SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR AMBERJACK 290" in pdf. But i really need the "OWNER'S MANUEL PACKET" In...

Ok, I searched the forms/blogs/google/searay manual etc but did not find this any place. :smt021 I have a question on whether I can set the dinette sleeper up when the seating areas are pulled all the way out (where they hang in the walkway)? My concern is the gap in the rear(or front) due...

Hey All, I am new to the forum, and looking for some experience/reviews/thoughts on the 1988 Sea Ray 270 Amberjack. I have been looking to move up in size, and more towards a sports/fish, and came across this model. The boat has been completely renovated last year with new twin Merc 5.0 H.O...

Good Morning, I'm going crazy with the performance of my 2002 290AJ, I'm the second owner, the previous one obviously modified the power on this boat but it's doesn't quite match what I read on the forums about other Amberjacks, I think I'm consuming too much fuel, I change the propellers...

Howdy! First post. We are the happy new owners of a 94 310 Amberjack from New Hampshire. We brought the boat to Lake Minnetonka late last season and are now seeing why this is considered such a great boat for this lake. The reason I write is my obsessed nine year old and his ability to spot the...

At cruise speed, port engine suddenly lost the ability to fully rev and lost power. Sounds rough, and only revs to 3000. This is the second time this has happened. The first time the symptoms just disappeared after doing a compression check, replacing plugs, and installing new spin on fuel...

Looking for a 1985 Sea Ray Amberjack with twin V8's. I'm told they are not counter-rotational props. If that's true, is there any disadvantage? Will it still do a pivot turn? Will the handling be as stable? Is the performance as good? Is the direction determined by engine rotation or outdrive...

I know there are a few of us around. would love to see some upgrades you guy have done.
