    Prop for 3.0 135hp Mercruiser on Sea Ray 180BR

    I bought my 2001 Sea Ray 180BR with the 135hp 3.0 Mercruiser 3 years ago. It only had 50 hours on it! What a deal! The boat had a J14.5x19P prop on it. There are a lot of areas I go into that are Slow/No Wake for extended distances, and it helps a lot if I get weight into the bow with respect to...

    Drain Plug Leak

    I have 2001 Sea Ray 180 BR. I get a couple of gallons of water in the bilge if I am out for 4-5 hours. That's a guess, because I run the bilge pump every 2 hours or so until no water comes out. I don't wait for it to come on automatically. No hoses are leaking, and it doesn't appear that there...

    Towing Problem... Tires?

    Just bought a used Searay 180BR with Shorelander trailer... the trailer and boat were a matched pair when the original owner bought them. I've had it out just twice, last time being yesterday. When I'm towing the rig, it doesn't seem to behave very well. Seems to be more up and down, and right...

No milkiness in oil. Boat has only 123 hours on it. Will use mostly for wife and I and dog touring lakes/rivers...

    How to correct listing boat?

    I have a 16' Rinker with a 70hp Evinrude on it that tends to list to the port side when planing. I can correct it by shifting weight around, but it even does this with me driving (starboard side) and just my wife and I in the boat (with her in the port-side passenger seat). I outweigh her by at...

    Question on Sparkplugs, Gas for 70 hp Evinrude

    Hi... I have a 1996 Evinrude 70hp that is heading into its third summer with me. I have winterized the boat each of the past two winters, and it has started immediately both times I broke it out of mothballs. It runs great! My wife likes to go slow, so this engine ends up doing a lot of "slow...

    Question about bearings

    Hi... just a question for those mechanically inclined among you. I pulled the hubs off my trailer to repack the wheel bearings. The bearings and races look good all the way around. I'm replacing the seals. I've been told to make sure that I put the bearings back into the race they came out of...
