new boat

Hi, I just bought a 96 sundancer and the trim tabs won't go down. At first I checked the fuse and that was blown so I changed that. After that the pump ran but had no fluid in it so I filled it and tried again. Still nothing so I crawled in there only to find that the hydraulic line for the port...

Hi All, I am glad to be part of the searayclub since I bought a SPX 190 IB - 2016 - Mercury 4.5MPI 200HP. We enjoyed this summer on a lake in France and as the days are getting colder it went to our dealer's marina for winterizing. The boat will likely stay 6-7 months in their storage yard...

Sold the 340 - will miss her greatly. Looking for something bigger with a sedan bridge, fly bridge, sport bridge 38-40. I welcome any suggestions - Sea Ray or other. Thanks!

Hi I have a 1991 Sea Ray Serranto 24' Cuddy with a 5.7 alpha one drive. The WOT is only 3800 RPM and I have a top speed of 37 Mile per hour. I have read that my prop is most likely incorrect and it does not have any markings on it, I can say it is a 3 blade stainless prop. Any suggestions...

Morning all. Came across this site a couple of weeks ago after a string of deals that lead to acquiring a 1987 Sorrento 23 BR. She needs some TLC but previous owner had paperwork for new floor and a re-power in 2016. My first personal boat. Grew up with a 1979 Galaxy 19' BR. Can't wait to...

Hey there, I just bought myself another Sea Ray 5 months ago, a 345 sedan Bridge with twin 7.4 454 engines that were rebuilt 40 hours ago. Since it's new to me I have some questions... What oil do you use for the engines? And can it be synthetic? The engines have red coolant in them now and...

Morning, I'm the proud owner (as of yesterday) of a beautiful 340. My family and I had our maiden voyage last night and I love the boat. We moved up a bit from a Formula 310SS. First thing I noticed was just how much bigger this boat is! The weight the beam it's all so much more then the 310...

Not sure if this is the right section, but I am about to join the party with my first boat purchase. I am scheduled to take delivery of a 1980 Sea Ray 260 Weekender on Thursday. I have always been a fan of Sea Rays but up until recently haven't had the means to buy and more importantly take...

http://youtu.be/msP-yHaU1Ts This popped up on my LinkedIn account today. Its long but well worth the time. This guy does a great job explaining why (as is said by CEO of MarineMax at the end) I am sooooo glad I own a SeaRay. Unfortunately, I also had similar experiences with MarineMax.

Hi everyone, new to the Sea Ray family, but have done a lot of research and decided this was the brand for me. I am in the process of doing my finally purchase of a 1989 Sea Ray 34' Sedan Bridge. It has had very little use, with just over 100 hours on both 454's and 82 hours on the generator...

I started out the day with a trip to see the boat I might be buying with my surveyor, we looked the boat over top to water line (will look at the rest when we pull it out next week) and after a ride around the lake I put half down on a 1986 Sea Ray 270 Sundancer!! Wife and I are happy as can be...

My family and I just bought a '98 Sea Ray 190 Bow Rider. The model we have, besides the bow-seating, features swivel-seats, a bench back seat and a sun deck over the motor. We've had it out 3 times since purchasing and are learning more and more each time. Like, for example, run premium rather...

We are currently in the market for a new boat (finally), and it has come down to either a 2006 52' sundancer with the T-698 MAN engines OR a 2007 60' DA. My family's thought is that the 52 is a capable boat for extended cruising and quick weekend trips, and that the 60 is more suitable for...

I have been out of boating for way too long, father in law gave me the bug again after being out on his boat. I had a few smaller boats, single I/O's and decided to go for it with a 2000 340. I was not able to get electronics to power up (RC 520, RP650 and VHS radio). Found radio has power...

In these tough times the buyer realy needs to be on there toes. I have just lost my boat because I trusted the dealer. Some dealers are so desperate to sell boats that they are changing the information sent to the bank to make sure it is financed. We had a brand new boat but wanted bigger, we...
