I'm striking out finding or fabricating a replacement vent cover for my 2001 245 weekender. It's the HDPE blower vent cover used on the 245 Weekender and the 250 Amberjack. Part number 1323906- Cover, HDPE 245WE-00 Deck Vent STBD PRL. i've tried dealerships, EBAY (searayman), Great Lakes...

Hey all, Been a while since my last post, but since i'm feeling lucky, i thought i would post this information for anyone that may be having similar issues. I have a 1997 Mercruiser with the 2 bbl and elec choke. After a few days on the lake last week, i noticed issues with my engine running...

You guys remember back in high school when your girlfriend broke up with you? The next day, she would always get up earlier to spend extra time to do their hair and makeup. Then always seem to wear your favorite outfit, just to try to make you feel worse. Well, it's kind of the same feeling I...

I installed new Bennett trim tabs last spring. I'll never own another boat without them! This season, I noticed that they didn't seem to be engaging all the way down, so i checked the pump reservoir. It was low. So i added fluid. I bled the system during installation as described in the...

This site has been fabulous, as I've been able to make my 13 year old SeaRay look like new. I purchased a new rotorary buffer and was very pleased with the results. But my purpose in posting this, I had talked my Dad into using it on his 24 year old SeaRay. He came over and borrowed the...

I've noticed that the ~2002 and newer weekenders (215/225's) have what appears to be a longer bimini than mine. I'm considering a canvas upgrade to a larger one, or possibly adding the second bimini. I measured mine, and it's 4.5 ft long. It's also about 6' 8" off the cockpit floor. I'm only...

It's the hardest thing: I get Christmas presents every year for the boat and have to wait several months to use them. This year, I got the trim tabs I've been wanting. What pain. Any more pics from you boaters in warmer latitudes to change my attitude would help me keep from shooting holes...

I just needed to vent. Went to a small lake today, and despite trying to beat all the rookies to the ramp to pull out, everyone had the same idea. The parking lot was full of people going to get their vehicles. It was a four lane ramp, and I tied to the courtesy dock next to where a van was...

Dewinterized today. When I fired her up with the water hose and the ear muffs on the outdrive, I noticed water dripping from the shifter cable at the linkage on top of the engine. It appears the water is getting pushed up the shift cable from the outdrive to the linkage on top the engine then...

I was cruising the Ohio River last year, and a group of cruisers moored together at the edge of the nav channel radioed an approaching tow to ensure they were out of the captain's way. The group referred to the boats tied together with a term that I've never heard before. Now, I can't...

Anyone boat on the Ohio River near Huntington? Where do you lauch/moor? I've been in the Huntington area on the Ohio and some KY lakes (Grayson, Cave Run, Lake Cumberland, and Dale Hollow) since I was teething on Dad's anchor line. Now I've got a boat of my own, and you'll usually see us...

I've got a 97 215 ec with the 5.7L that I bought last year. The prop on the boat was a 14.5x17 alum, but I installed a 14.25x19 ss. I like cruising just on plane at the 2500 to 3000 rpm range, but the 19p seems to slip and fall off plane once i get just under 3000 rpm. I know the 19p is what...
