I installed a Blue Sea Add A Battery system in my '94 Sea Ray. I have noticed an inconsistency in the hook up instructions from other images on the net and a Portland Marine youtube video. They have the positive battery terminals hooking up to the upper stud on the Blue Sea battery switch and...
Hello Everyone. It's been a while since my last post. Well I finally went out and purchased the Blue Sea Add a Battery system and installed into my Sea Ray. I thought I had everything hooked up correctly until I flipped up my bilge float switch with the battery switch selected to off and nothing...
I have a '94 Sea Ray 230 DA and the Taylor Made cockpit windshield support rods are breaking at the mounting pads. My question is where do you measure for the replacement? The one I need are either 12 or 13 inches in length. Now I am guessing it's being measured from center screw hole to center...
Hello -
Well I found gear lube leaking onto my driveway and expected the worst. I pulled my drive and found gear oil in my bellows and my res bottle on my engine was empty. I think the hose between the bell and gimbal housing cracked or come loose. This happened on my old boat so I knew where to...
Re: Time to ask your opinion on this trailer
I had to chain my boat from the bow eye to the bottom of the trailer to get it home. When I went to look at it today the chain was so tight that I had to cut it off. The boat jumped up about 4 inches from where it was. I was startled to see it bounce...
After a year of having my Sea Ray in dry dock, I took her out for a Maintenance run. I was pleasantly surprised that it ran pretty well except for a couple of hiccups. After running at wot for a bit, I throttled back to idle and opened the engine compartment for inspection. When I went to bring...

Last year, I bought a 1994 Sea Ray 230 DA that came with an EZ Loader dual axle trailer. The previous owner said that the trailer fit the boat well at that he never had any issues. The boat/trailer combo has always looked funny to me and it's time I ask the forum peeps their opinion...
I stepped on my fuel tank elbow this morning and snapped off the anti-siphon valve. My question is: Do I apply plumbers tape to the new treads or will the NTP treads seal it up? Thanks as always!
Hello all. I just bought a used VFH radio with a 8ft. Shakespeare Antenna. The problem is the connector fell off. Is this soldered or crimped? It's RG59U cable running through. Is this a shielded connection? I have provided a picture. Thanks for the input.

I am in the process of rebuilding my entire dash panel on my '94 Sea Ray 230DA. I have replaced all wiring, connectors, switches and gauges. Sea Ray hooked me up with the wiring diagram for that year and I have come across a question. I have a Carling Technologies (648097) on/off...
Hello guys - I am putting a volvo penta AQ225 together. It's an older 5.7L GM motor and I am having trouble finding where some hoses connect to. I bought the boat as a project and the engine was torn apart. The motor has closed cooling and its an older system. I have provided a picture as I know...
Hello guys. I have a 1985 Bayliner Ceira with a 5.7L \ AQ 280 outdrive. I took my engine out of the boat to overhaul it this winter. My question is I had to tear the bell housing off of the flywheel just to remove it. If i am not mistaken, the bell housing should have just come off once the...
Hello all!
I am working on a 3.0L mercruiser and was in the process of pulling the gimbal bearing. Once I removed the gimbal bearing and cleaned it up, well just look at the picture! Is this saveable or is a new transom plate needed? As always, thanks for your opinions.
Hello All -
I am having a hard time making out the identification for a Volvo Penta Drive I have attached a photo. Thanks for looking and helping me out. I think its either a A250 or an A270.
