    Engine compartment ventilation question

    Hi: I'm designing a 3-compartment engine hatch/storage areas, the lid will act as a sundeck/fishing platform. I'm wondering if the ventilation scheme that I've come-up with will be sufficient? In particular, I'm wondering if my air-in should be beefed-up... perhaps a 4" or 5" diameter vinyl...

    Truck bedliner roll-on paint

    My restoration involves removing the engine doghouse, enclosing my I/O engine from gunwale-to-gunwale, and creating a combination sundeck and fishing platform. I'm thinking of using that thick bedliner paint to do the job. Has anyone tried using this for something similar (perhaps a boat deck)...

    HELP! Mid '80s Sea Ray Seville fuel tank openings question

    Ugg - probably a silly question, but I just can't remember, after 3 years of disassembly! The 30 gallon under-deck fuel tank that came with my 1984 19-Ft. Sea Ray Seville, has (obviously) a fuel fill opening (on the starboard side), then right next to that is a smaller opening, then off to the...

    Chevy 5.7L Harmonic Balancer quandary

    Hi: Just fired-up my Mercruiser (Chevy) shortblock rebuild today, it fired right up! Once I had it warmed-up, I tried to set timing, but the timing mark was right off of the scale - at about 10-o-clock, instead of the normal 2-o-clock position by the scale. Rotating the distributor to where I...

    Chevy 5.7L fuel pump mounting... what's this hole?

    Hi: I'm building-up a GM 5.7L engine, using a new (well, remanufactured) short block, & heads, manifolds and tin from an old motor. The original fuel pump is fine, but I didn't remove the mounting plate, so never saw beneath it. (Please refer to the picture) What is this hole beneath the fuel...

    84 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy - Floor work, new interior

    Progress... Continued! Progress... Continued! A change that I want to make: I've decided to raise my floor up by a couple of inches, the original floor included part of the V on either side, effectively making that deck space useless. This probably didn't matter with the doghouse/jumpseats...

    84 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy - Floor work, new interior

    Progressing... Progressing... Well, it's been a while since I've been able to work on the boat, but I finally have some progress worth posting. I pulled the engine and removed the transom. As you can see by the backside of these transom pieces - it certainly needed replacement. My next...

    Transom rebuild - sliding the engine forward instead of pulling it out?

    Has anyone tried to do this? I just don't have the room to get an engine hoist behind my boat, I have a dirt floor, and the engine is HIGH UP! OK, I guess that I could pull the boat forward & buying some plywood for a temporary floor, but wouldn't sliding the engine 3'-or-so forward, over the...

    84 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy - Floor work, new interior

    The demo continues, I have some questions... anybody?? The demo continues, I have some questions... anybody?? The work continues whenever I have a chance (so much to do, so little time!). I'm beginning to wonder if my boat has had previous floor work done in it. I've pretty-much exposed &...

    84 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy - Floor work, new interior

    The cutting continues The cutting continues Well, as the British say... "in for a Penny, in for a Pound", the more that I expose, the more that I realize that this ol' girl needs a complete deck rebuild. I haven't had the courage to drill test holes in the transom yet, I'll likely do that...

    84 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy - Floor work, new interior

    Hi: Last fall, I decided that I wanted to freshen the interior of my (fairly new to me) 19' Seville cuddy - my first-ever boat. This is "a local" according to the papers that came with it (the original 1984 bill of sale!), it has never seen salt water, & has been wintered inside... it however...

    1984 Searay Seville 19 - Lounge seat question

    Hi! I've started tearing-down the interior of my Searay Seville 19-Cuddy, the plan is to replace the "back-to-back" lounge seats with captains chairs on adjustable pedistals, and the doghouse engine cover/jump seats with a bench seat just forward of the engine. I'm concerned about weather the...
