    Front cushion support for a bowrider

    2000 sea-ray sundeck 210. Bought it in 2009 and while it came with the front “filler” cushion, it didn’t come with the support board. This is to allow the entire front to be one big “bed”. I made my own (still need to finish sand the edges a bit) out of Azek but thought I’d post the pictures...

    Sunpad cushion. Support board

    1999 sea ray sun deck 210. I have the front cushions for the sunpad filler (to fill the “hole” in the front of a bow rider) but I think there also needs to be a support board that goes into the groove to properly support the cushions. I’ve looked at the manual but it doesn’t specify anything...

    1999 Sea Ray Sundeck 210. I/O Mercruiser. De winterized and used it today. When I try to put the gas all the way down (go flat out) once past no wake and warmed up it barely goes 10 knots. It used to fly! Is it likely a carb issue? I noticed that it now has trouble starting from a warm...
