    1995 Sea Ray Sundancer 250

    I can't believe I am here again for this reason... Almost 10 years ago I was here: https://forums.iboats.com/threads/1989-sea-ray-bowrider-180-transom-stringers-deck.512537/ I moved on. I sold "The Gambler" (refinished boat) to a buddy of mine for $500 when I bought "Blue Leader" from a...

    1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck Well - I ended up just going with the seat from boatingseats.com. It looks good in the box - I should probably take it out and get a good look at it. Last weekend I got the kickpanels in and the bow boxes put back together. I drilled...

    1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck I'm thinking of changing around the seating configuration as well. I think I want to put in a captains chair for the drivers side and go back and build the seat box for the port side. I've done a little searching and I'm amazed how...

    1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck Well that last one made me chuckle! TJ - I am using polyester products. So, update... well, I'm not the best fiberglass installer in the world - that's for sure. But, hey if the thing lasts another 10 years, that's fine with me and I'm...

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck In my first post I mention having a few setbacks at the end of the season.... well, in case you were wondering: Your distributor drive gear should not look like this: Also, the coupler shouldn't look like this! (Moral of the story...

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck Close up of motor being lifted out: Borrowed a friends hoist: The floor was really soft around the ski locker and behind both of the back2back seats. Which ultimately led to rotten stringers and transom. So.... DEMO

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck Ask and ye shall receive... I've cleaned up most of the anti-fouling paint, but here's outside Original Motor Interior Outdrive. A little corroded, but not too bad 4.3L Swapped

    1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck I've been doing some work on it, but haven't been posting updates. I ended up putting my trailer back together and pulling the boat out of the garage now that the threat of snow is gone - and the fact that the resin smells pretty...

    1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck Well, got back on it again. Spent most of last Friday on the inside of the boat in coveralls, goggles and a respirator. Had the hose from my shop vac (with bag and filter) stuck under the plastic to get some air exchange in there so it...

    Re: 1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck Well the schedule hasn't been too conducive to working on the boat, but I did find some time today seeing as how it's 45 outside. I've definitely got all the wood off the transom and am going to start working my way forward removing old...

    1989 Sea Ray Bowrider 180 Transom, Stringers & Deck

    So, like a lot of folks on this site, I've been doing a lot of reading on replacing rotten transoms, decks and stringers. I have a 1989 Sea Ray BR 180 that I've already started on and have gotten to the point in the pictures below. Notably, it originally had the 3.0L in it with an Alpha 1 rear...

    Mercruiser 4.3L Thunderbolt IV Rotor Rotational Play

    Mercruiser 4.3L V6 Thunderbolt IV Ignition Stock cam Before I quit trying to correct some low WOT issues last night I pulled the distributor cap off and found that I can turn the distributor rotor clockwise and counterclockwise by hand - basically it has some slop in it. I'ts not 90 degrees or...
