    '84 OMC 800 Stringer in a SeaRay EC260 - Voltage Regulator

    I was in the garage this evening, and dug out our 'spare alternator' from the boxes. Any suggestions on a 'bench test' that I can perform on it before I have access to the boat engine?

    '84 OMC 800 Stringer in a SeaRay EC260 - Voltage Regulator

    Greetings, I have been trying to search previous discussions on this, but have not found any. I'm wanting to check out our Voltage Regulator because at the end of season last year, we lost a battery (dead cell) as well as our voltage readout (LED) showed 15.2volts. It has been winterized...

    800 Stringer Trim System Troubleshooting,

    Hey all, and thanks for looking. We have an '83 SRV 260 with the 5.7 Stringer I/O. One thing I've noticed is that there is a leak somewhere inside the Trim Adjustment system. There is no fluid escaping or making a mess. It is an internal bypass type of thing. The Trim can be adjusted to...

    Battery Maintainers and/or Desulphaters

    We just purchased 3 new Deep Cycle 12v batteries for our boat, mid summer. We'll be bringing them into the house, in the basement, and putting a single maintainer on the three batteries connected in parallel. The intent is to connect the positive to #1 while the negative will connect to #3...

    Head Cleanliness

    Hey ya'll, and we've just had a fantastic season out there, on the water. Enjoyed time simply tied at the dock, out fishing, cruising, and simply living on the water. But there are a few questions that My Lady and I have regarding cleaning, etc. In our head, we have teak walls, carpet ceiling...

    SeaRay, 1984, 260E, Express Cruiser... Information Request!

    Hello there all, it has been quite the busy and enjoyable summer, SO FAR. (Up here in these Northern Climates, we don't even THINK about thinking about 'season's end'.... just a continuation of fun) We've been down on the boat pretty much every day, and I won't deny that the first few months...

    OMC 800 Stringer, Side Throttle/Shifter Control, Idle Issue:

    Hello there, and thanks for looking. I've been googling all ways from Sunday that I can figure, and still to no avail. (My google-fu could very well be weak, so please bear with me) What we have here, is a SeaRay 260 Express Cruiser with a 5.7 ltr engine. My side controls at the helm is one...

    '83 SeaRay Express Cruiser 260, Stringer question,

    Can anyone here supply me with hull and stringer build details, let alone the actual 'floorplan design' for this boat? I've been in contact with SeaRay, and they don't have records going back that far. Point is, I have to rebuild/reinstall the steps down to the galley/cabin, and I'm not sure...

    '84 SeaRay Weekender 260, Bellows Protector!

    Greetings all, as it's been a while. After much effort and attempt, the '22 American is gone and replaced with the above titled boat. Huge improvement. Now, we've been told that due to our boat having the OMC 800 Stringer I/O, that the bellows seal on the transom needs to have a...

    22' 19hundredsomthing StarCraft American Fiberglass project,

    Greetings ya'll, and here begins my venture into your domain. This boat (tried to upload a picture but was told: invalid file data) was a gift to us, for our wedding. It may not be much, and it may be awesome. Either way, we find it both interesting and fun. For now, at least. I have tried...
