    SeaRay Seville vs Sea Ray 180BR

    Does anyone know why Searay dropped the Seville name? My 1990 180BR is identical to a Seville but no model name.

    Carpet question 1990 Searay 180BR

    Follow up on my carpet odyssey. After four attempts to get this carpet I finally was able to install it. I used 3M #90 spray adhesive. Much faster than carpet adhesive. The color match is close to the original. aft

    Fuel filter and hose questions

    I'm just looking to tie my new canister water and fuel filter to my fuel pump about 12". I cant seem to find any USCG approved fuel line on line or in my area without buying 10ft length. All of the local boat yards have closed up.

    Fuel filter and hose questions

    Is that hose marking J1527-A1? Or does it have to say "USCG approved" on it?

    Fuel filter and hose questions

    Can anyone recommend an in-line filter to use on my 1990 carbureted 4.3l Merc alpha one? Does it have to be marked USCG approved? Also required fuel hose markings ? Will automotive fuel line meet the requirements of USCG?

    Searay 180 Alpha one fuel pick up fitting replacement

    Success! Instead of trying to pull out the pick up tube, I drove it out the bottom then ran a 3/8 pipe tap to chase out the hole. I then removed the fuel sender unit and retrieved the pick up through the hole. What debris was left in the tank, I was able to shake out the hole for the pick up...

    Searay 180 Alpha one fuel pick up fitting replacement

    While reinstalling the fuel tank ( Buechler Industries Inc. ) in my SR180 IO, I broke the fuel pick up fitting that comes out of the tank to the fuel line to the fuel pump.

    Transom light

    My transom light was missing from my 18ft Searay when I purchased it. It has a Perko 5 degree base with two contacts. I want to replace it with a compatable light pole. My question is how long should it be. CG rules say 1 meter above the side (bow) marker lights but that seems like a lot of pole...

    Carpet question 1990 Searay 180BR

    Thanks guys, All the carpet stores know is what is on their sample charts none of which are specific to Sea Ray. The sample I have did not match any thing they had. I contacted Sea Ray but have not heard back from them. I have narrowed it down to possibly Dorsett brand Aqua Turf in Gulf Blue...
