2007 sea ray 180 sport
I used the McGuire's one step (no.67) last year to help with heavy oxidation. I did about 5 or 6 passes until the color started to show on the clean buffer pad when I wiped it off. Then applied wax. This year, after only one application the color started to come through...
I have a 2007 sea ray 185 sport IO , merc, alpha one drive.
Engine alarm went off today at idle. I shut it on and off 3 times to see if it would quit so I could get it into the dock. Temp would start to rise so would quickly shut it down , temp hit about 180. The third time the alarm stopped...
Hi everyone
Recently, while running the boat pulling a tube, the intake warning came on for a split second and then stopped. It happened twice. The amount of time that it was on was so short that as soon as I started to lower the rpm's it was over so I kept running. Engine temp and oil...
I used a restore product for the white oxidation on my boat and it worked really well. The color came back and looked great, however one day later the white is back again. Anyone have any suggestions why this happened? Do I need to seal it immediately following application with a wax? Is it...
Hi All
I've got about, what I estimate to be, a quarter turn on the steering wheel or maybe a little less play in my steering. It's been like this for about 2 years, my local shop says it's probably not worth the money for the age of the boat to try and fix it and suggested I ride it out until...

Hello All
I have an older 17 ft boat with a small ladder on the back. It's pretty tuff for me to get up and onto the boat, however for my wife who has knee issues and others, its pretty impossible.
I think a small platform, just some place to sit your bottom down and turn around would make all...
Hello All
I'm getting ready to put bottom paint on my fiberglass boat for the first time. I had it in a slip (fresh water) all last year and experienced some bubbling and what looks like faint flaking after i pressure washed in the fall.
I'm pretty handy and ive watched a couple how to...

I used slimy grimy to get the stain off....which worked. There were however some spots where "bubbling " looks like it occurred. When...
HI All
I have an older fiberglass and plywood hull (1980) baretta boat. It never saw much use before I bought this season. A couple of the buttons came loose now that I have been putting the cover on and off this season. could someone let me know the best way for repair? They are all on...
Hello All,
I had my boat out (1980 Beretta, 140 Mercruiser I/O) over the weekend, when It suddenly shut off while running. Somehow I think the bilge pump and blower switches got turned on and were running for about 20 mintues or so before everything shut down. I now have no power at ignition...
