    is this a cooler design or a livewell?

    1992 Stingray 556z - 3.0 Merc I/O Alpha I Gen II bowrider. The reservoir under the seat cushion in bow, port side, is this supposed to be a live well or a cooler? Not sure what the original intention of this design was. Maybe just a place to ice down some can drinks? There is indeed a thru-hull...

    Ignition switch failing?

The markings on back of the switch are "B" on one side and "I" and...

    new bowrider seats

    I'd like to replace the driver's side with a pedestal-type seat, maybe something that can raise and lower like an office chair but more of a fishing seat. It appears that the flooring is just plywood. It is sound and sturdy but I don't think mounting a 9" diameter pedestal base would support my...
