    Dead rise question

    I have a 220 signature and it is a tank. weighs 4000 lbs dry. I'm just getting used to it. (just got it running a month ago).. I don't get large waves on the lake I'm on unless it's wake from other boats but it handles the chop pretty well. It has a decent running 5.7 in it and in my opinion...

    My boat sank, part II

    Maybe you could use a trash pump to dig it out? At least a hole for the drive so you could start it. Best of luck man, Finding a trash pump in NOLA would probably be very hard at the moment..

    new carb new issue

    When this sort of thing happens to me I generally find the last thing I was messing with is usually the problem. Also 180 temp is a bit warm.

    Screw Hole Repair / Below Water Line

    If there's no wood involved your patch will probably last forever. Marine tex might have been a better choice if your hull is white.

    Is talormade curved windshield really glass?

    I used a razor blade and some windex and it worked out fine. The windshield is indeed tempered safety glass and it's nice and smooth now..

    If your engine is like an old 350 I had, rocker studs are press fit so be sure the stud didn't slip.

    Fuel Pump Diaphragm Rupture Hose Type?

    A couple of months ago I converted to an electric fuel pump and removed that hose and if I remember it connected to a small brass fitting that is pressed into the carb body just below the top edge of the carb.

    Is talormade curved windshield really glass?

    It's the 95 sea ray. I just didn't want to take a razor blade to it if it's not glass. Most likely the paint is 2 part epoxy picked up in a boat yard somewhere. It's not too bad but you can feel it, I'll pick an inconspicuous spot and experiment. Probably try some spirits first and maybe some...

    Is talormade curved windshield really glass?

    They seem to advertise it as glass, but before I try to clean off some paint overspray that it gathered sometime in the past it would be good to know what its made of.

    Outdrive gasket pushing out

    I can relate to that, I recently replaced the SS wire rope on a boat lift and thought I could re-use the old clips. Wrong! When I tried to loosen them every one locked up. Had to get new clips..I'll know next time..LOL

    Steering maintenance

    If I were doing the evaluation service points would raise the score! My boy has an MTD riding mower and it needs a blade spindle,why... No grease fitting for the bearing. My truck has a noisy wheel bearing, why... I can't re-pack it. But the spark plugs sure do last.

Mainly I am looking for any lubing or adjustments that might be available Like greasing the rack mechanism or cable and adjustment procedures if any. I don't have a manual on Teleflex...

    Steering maintenance

    I was afraid you'd say that! LOL. I didn't take anything apart but I took the patch off the transom plate and the tiller, swivel pin and bushing were tight as were the pinch bolts on the ring. Which reminds me, I recall on my old MC1 drive there was a grease fitting for the bushings. I wonder...

    Steering maintenance

    Apologies, guys, I just realized that my signature doesn't show up on the phone. Yep it's the 95 searay 220. This boat wanders like a gypsy at slow speed, it's heavy and obstinate! What concerns me is the play while on plane. I can turn the wheel 2 inches either direction before I get a...

    Steering maintenance

    I would like to reduce the slop in the steering system so I read up on it in the manual and came across one of the many Merc "IMPORTANT" boxes..."slight feed back could be encountered if cable guide tube flat surfaces are not positioned vertically." Mine are horizontal. I don't know what slight...
