Lazy Daze, I discovered that it wasn't paint, but a decal. I sprayed it with WD40, let it set then used a razor blade to remove it. Thanks for your response.

I recently bought a 176 Sea Ray and this word is painted on the inside of the boat. I checked carefully and it isn't a wrap it's individually painted letters. I'm looking for a way to remove the painted letters without ruining the finish. Are there any paint experts here ?

Sorry that it's taken me a while to get back on the forum, but I've been traveling and didn't have time to spend on my computer. I appreciate what each of you suggested. Now that the weather is looking good in Northern CA I'll try to get the boat out again and do some experimenting. The...

I like the idea of checking the dealer web site to see if it gives me the right setting. Thanks

Thanks Boatboy, I'll try changing the settings, but 4C was where it was previously and it showed 2,000 RPM when idling, so I don't think that was the correct setting.

I took my Sea Ray 176 out today for a trial run. I have the 3.0 Alpha One . At idle the tach registered right around 600 RPM, which I believe is correct. With myself (200 lbs) and my friend (170) on board at almost wide open throttle the speedometer showed 48 MPH and the tachometer only...

Dennis, being in California I hesitate to even use a horn. Road rage isn't limited to asphalt.

Thanks all. I recognized the navigation light (very obvious), and had an idea that the chrome cover to the left was a horn, but it didn't work. After tightening a few electrical connections the horn now works and it's obvious where it is. Thanks all. I'm not totally obtuse, but haven't had...

Can anyone tell me what the chrome cover is on the left side of this picture? I checked the owners manual and can't find an explanation.

I went with the 40 lb shock and it seems to be what was needed.

Thanks Woody. 40 seems like a lot, but if that's what's called for that's what I'll go with.

Does anyone know what the pressure is for the shock that holds the engine cover up? I mistakenly ordered the shock with 40 lbs of pressure that that seems way too much.Outfitters offers 10, 20, 30 and 40 lb units.

I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm back into boating after many years being out, and my memory is terrible, so I'm back to learning all over again. My engine hatch cover was missing one of the shocks that hold it up and I discovered why when I found that the top bracket that the...

Just a question from way out in left field, but can you just remove those screws and replace them with slightly larger screws? And if so, would you consider using lock tight? I know on motorcycles with high frequency vibration lock tight is our friend.

Thanks Bill, I'll keep that in mind.
