    1995 5.0L Carb Replacement Options

    Hi Everyone, I have a project boat that after 3 years of replacing the interior is nearly water ready. When it was put away last the engine was fogged and winterized but now at the mechanics it seems water made it into the carb and it is now shot. The shop quoted $1,500 (Canadian) for a...

    Question - Advice for inside sidewall covering.

    I'm in the process of restoring a 1995 Crownline 202br. The floor is finally finished and it's time to build the interior (everything was rotted out and needs re-doing). I'm trying to figure out how to finish the sidewalls before putting up new side panels. I'd like to gather some...

    1995 Crownline 202 BR refurb..

    Okay, so I bought a used 202 from a couple that clearly were in over their heads/have never been boaters. I bought it knowing full well the floor needed re-doing as did the vinyl and seat structures. I grew up around boats, and owned a few in the past so I knew what I was looking at....the...

    1995 Crownline 202 BR Restoration - Beginner looking for resources to learn

    So, on an impulse, I bought a 1995 Crownline 202 BR with a Merc 5.0 Ltr (270 hrs) that looks good in pictures but up close you notice the issues. The Engine/Outdrive seem to be in excellent condition, after running it on the lake last weekend (and pulling skiers). I absolutely loved driving...

    Finding plugs

    Hi. I'm sure this question gets asked a lot, but I have a 1995 Sea Ray with a Mercruiser 4.3LX. Attempting to winterize it, I'm to the point of pulling the drain plugs. I don't have the manual (although I have a 1994 service manual), but I know there should be 4 or 5 plugs. On my boat, the...

    Merc Owners Manuals

    Hi, I bought a 3rd hand sea ray with a 4.3LX Merc I/O, but it came with no owners manuals. In any event, I was really surprised Merc doesn't put PDF copies of their manuals online, instead offering to sell me a paper copy that takes weeks to arrive. Heck, I'd pay the $30 if I could get a PDF...

    New Winch Question

    Hi... I'm new to boating and trailering, so bear with me. My trailer has an electric winch on it that probably hasn't seen electricity in 5 - 10 years. It does a poor job in it's current state of winching my 1995 Sea Ray 195 and holding it in place, so I'm looking to replace it with a manual...

    Alpha One Speedometer

    Hi. Okay, I'm having issues with my speedometer, in so much as it doesn't work. Now, I know why. The boat's currently out of the water, and I found in the outdrive the connection for the speedometer tube. Seems there's a plastic piece that screws into the outdrive which has barbs sticking...

    Gelcoat Questions

    Hi... I have a 20' bowrider that for some reason had only one cleat on the port side of the boat. I figured I'd like to have a second there, so I installed one yesterday by drilling through the gelcoat/fiberglass, putting some 3M 5200 in the holes and on the threads of the bolts, then bolting...
