    Trim Operation Question

    Ok so this isn't a question of how to properly trim the boat. Instead my question is about the operation of the system itself. So little background, I have a 1979 Sea Ray with a ford 351 and MC-1 outdrive (probably not relevant but thought I would include it anyway). It has a 3 button trim...

    ignition harness

    A full harness is a 100 bucks while the connector achris advised for 20. If the wires are ok and only the connection broke I'd go with the Deutsch Connector. They are waterproof and stouter than the connection that is on your engine harness.

    Hydraulic Pump Wiring (black wire floating free)

    My mistake. I didn't realize that we had different styles. I thought they were the same because we both had the same kind of 3 button trim panel and pump. That's what I get for assuming.

    Hydraulic Pump Wiring (black wire floating free)

    I just ordered and installed a new Quicksilver sender and switch from Amazon in April, #805320A03, for my MC-1. It bolted right up and it seems to work as intended. Not cheap at 100 bucks but it had substantially better reviews than the aftermarket ones for 30.

    Hydraulic Pump Wiring (black wire floating free)

    I would suggest on doing it next time you service your bellows. The bolts are a pain but other than that it is a pretty simple job when the bellows are off.

    Lounge Seat Question

    Would they have it for a boat this old? They don't have any online documentation in their Sea Ray Owners Club thing for it. At least not that I can find.

    Lounge Seat Question

    I apologize, I didn't explain my goal well enough. I'm not looking to load 10 people in the boat. It didn't come with a capacity tag in it so I got the capacity from the title and by doing the (length x 8)/15 for capacity and am having one made that actually shows a max capacity of 8 (a cooler...

    Lounge Seat Question

    It is an enclosed bow but does not have a cabin. The fuel tank is in the enclosed bow.

    Lounge Seat Question

    No they are at the helm. Like this: Except the last seat that has the hoop on it is in a vertical position with 2 legs coming down from it.

    SRV-195, I'll get pictures when I can. I just thought of this today out of the blue.

    Lounge Seat Question

    My 79 Sea Ray has back-to-back seats that lay down into 2 different configurations. One that is a flat lounger with a hoop for a leg and the other has what was the rear seat cushion sitting in a vertical position on 2 legs and resembles a bench to me. I don't have the manual for the boat and do...

    Losing Power - After two hours

    Maybe a fuel supply issue pre pump? Something like a mostly blocked fuel tank vent and as you go along it slowly reduces the amount of fuel available due to vacuum in the tank until the engine starts to die and allowing for the vent to catch up a bit? Then if the fuel line is partially...

    MC-1 Trim Cylinder Rebuild

    Hello all, Today I busted open the outer shell of the port trim cylinder of my MC-1 Outdrive while trying to troubleshoot the trim system. I have ordered this Repair Kit: 77442A1, for the outer tube. However, I'm assuming I will need to disassemble the cylinder to fix this. So do I also need to...

    What is this and where does it mount?

    Ok so the rain finally stopped here and I was able to try and work on this a bit. It turns out that the plastic hose has a -4 JIC fitting on it while the braided one is different (both diameter and fitting wise). From a different thread...

    At full throttle and it died...

    I figured you would. Just thought to push you a reminder on the off chance you are anything like me and you get distracted by shiny things and forget to do what you meant to.

    At full throttle and it died...

    Don't forget to add oil to the engine since you said it was very low

    Fuel burn with 5.7 LX mercruiser, 24' Boat

    The rebuild and cleaning may have just opened up the fuel passages more allowing it to push to the higher RPMs. With the exhaust bellows being underwater and already disconnected from the outdrive I don't think there would be any gains there as the backpressure wouldn't have changed trimming it...

    Super stuck gimbal bearing in Mercruiser Pre-Alpha -- is there a clip?

    When I pulled my gimbal bearing I rented a bearing puller from Autozone. Also depending on how frequently you intend on doing this job it might be worth it to have a shop pull and install the new bearing for you. Once I had the bearing puller it only took me 10 minutes to pull and seat the...
