Isn't it crazy how many people have boats that just get neglected? In our area people just don't realize the work it takes to maintain a boat in salt water! Salt water can destroy a boat quickly if you don't stay on top of the maintenance. First to go is the bilge area if its wet with salt water!
It doesn't surprise me after seeing how people treat their cars. 50k cars and up never get washed or maintained like they will run forever. It's worth taking care of things says the guy who has been driving a Jeep CJ 7 for 35 years!

Agree with you! We still drive a 1997 & 2003 original owners we bought both cars brand new and we take care of them! Our mechanic tells us to keep driving them. Boats are definitely neglected!
The project boat definitely needs a haulout and deep clean but looks like a fun/satisfying project 😊

Sea Ray has a 12 volt plug on the helm that you can plug into and as long as the battery charger is OFF it will power that engine hatch. Hard to believe people let a boat go like that. Sad.

That’s a great project for someone. Sea-Ray’s are good boats if it’s V-Drives. 350’s are a bit under powered though….

I thought I left this on Sunday, but I don't see it now. Anyway...leave a little time at the end of the videos so we can have time to leave a thumbs up. I often forget until you remind me.

Best thing to do is give the Thumbs up right at the beginning so you don't forget at the end! We had asking for the thumbs up but I guess people need to hear it sometimes.
Great video. Please tell us the make model and year of the boat. This will help understand all the information you are sharing Thanks so much 😊

Sure it will start but that boat needs to be pulled to clean and paint bottom. Major clean up for interior. Cha ching time.

So far it hasn’t started 🥴 but definitely needs some clean up!
SeaRay in their infinite wisdom has placed the circuit breaker for the engine hatch lift in the engine room of a 310 I am working on. So if the breaker trips there is no way to lift the hatch to reset the breaker!

You should park wherever you want if you're fixing boats. Otherwise why not use a golf cart like everyone else in Florida?. :-)

We do ride a golf cart sometimes but it just doesn't hold the amount of tools that are sometimes needed for our jobs. Since we don't always know what we are getting ourselves into.
Before you start boat / pull plugs & lube before turning mt over.

I have to say I was disappointed in this video. The title suggested that I would see your process on the steps taken to troubleshoot what was required to start engines that had been sitting dormant for a long period. All I learned was that the batteries were dead. Duh! You left me hanging and I don’t even know what type engines you were trying to start. I’ll never trust the video title again.
