    1993 Chaparral 2370 SL - Louvred Vent Covers

    Contacting Chaparral ended without success, although they did reply to the inquiry. I ended up with stainless replacement covers from eBay. I'm thinking they'll look good painted black or maybe Plasti DIp or carbon fiber wrap. We'll see.

    1993 Chaparral 2370 SL - Louvred Vent Covers

    Does anyone know where I may be able to find replacement vent covers like that shown, new or used? Also, I am about to begin making a full camping enclosure for this boat (replacing all existing forward canvas and clear windows as well), and I will need to install additional tubing/framing for...

    Transom Swivel Bushings

    Assembled a rebuilt power head from a few different years of parts.. "150hp Mercury V6. Mid 80's lower unit and transom assembly, Late 80's power head, early 90's cowling and mid-section. First trial run, doubled up on oil for break in period. So far so good." I bought a manual jack plate...

    Idle exhaust boot - Mercury V6

    In order to ask my question I need to explain what I have for a motor. Acquired the following: (1) 1985 Mercury 2.0L 150hp V6 complete (with a blown power head). 2) 1988 Mercury 2.0L 150hp V6 rebuilt power head only (3) Cowling with lower mounts from what appears to be a 1991 Mercury 135hp...

    '72 Glastron GT160

    Current project is a '72 GT160, a hull I have had previously. This one had a rotten transom and stringers although it was in great shape otherwise. Much better than the one I had before. Low investment so far, and I'm currently in the process of grinding the bare hull in preparation for...

    1986 Sea Ray Seville Restoration

    Re: 1986 Sea Ray Seville Restoration Best of luck SD... this has been a great thread for me to watch. My boat is 'tired' structurally and I will be following your project for years to come as I eventually decide to do the same thing. In the meantime I tackled the front cam seals and...

    Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration My suggestion for a name... since this boat is no longer built by Sea Ray... ... now its built (much better) by Sea Jay!

    1986 Sea Ray Seville Restoration

    Re: 1986 Sea Ray Seville Restoration Thanks SD, those pictures look great. Was it hinged to the floor in the front? Mine isn't and I was wondering if it normally is. I do have the aluminum strip on the back plate to secure it, like yours. I'm embarrassed to say that after looking through...

    1972 Mercury 85hp will not go over about 5mph?! Thinking a sheared pin?

    Your prop hub is shot. Mark a line from the inner hub assembly to the outside. Run it, and if the line isn't aligned afterwards you can be sure its the prop. Not difficult to repair. Your local dealer or prop shop can have you back on the water in no time. There is no shear pin on your...

    Black rollers - marks

    If a roller is leaving black marks on my hull, is there any solution other than to replace it? Physically it appears to be in good condition, but the black marks gotta go. I'll buy a new non-black roller, but was curious to know if I could make this roller last a little while longer.<br /><br...

    Computer 24/7 below freezing....

    I have a PC in my garage running 24/7. Is there any concern with leaving it on all the time when temperatures are likely to be below freezing? I have it in power saving mode which means the monitor goes off, but the PC is in standy-by. Any key press brings it back to life where it left off...
