Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi,

I have a Wellcraft Excalibur 210 2002
I have a lot of troubles with the instrument gauges and I am loking for instruction on how to remove the gauges or console.
Does anyone have a maintenance or part mauel, or even some experience have done this before?

Thank you!

I’ve bought a 2002 Wellcraft Fisherman Tournament addition with two captains chairs.
I bought a new Yamaha for it and I’m redoing everything on the boat that needs it
I thought I’d jump on this form and see if anyone would be able to tell me where I can get some cushions for the boat. I can make them however, but if I could find some that are adequate, it sure would be less of a pain.
There are some problems with the boat, but there is no perfect boat. It has minimal storage and minimal access to anything other than that. It’s a good boat ha

Hi gents, I've searched all over and don't see any mention of a 186 SS, were they rare or just junk? lol

I just bought a beautiful 2000 model with the 4.3 Mercruiser, boat was one owner, well maintained and only has 300 hours on it. Needs bellows and a few electrical items straightened out and will be good as new.

Just curious if anyone has one? any Do's or Don'ts? should I sell it and cut my losses?

Thanks,

Hello ladies and gents, just found this board since purchasing my first ever boat- a 2000 Wellcraft 186SS with the 4.3 Mercruiser.

Hoping to tap into some of the knowledge here, and learn a new hobby! I'm a long time auto racing enthusiast and mechanic and my wife and I decided since we live in the sunny state of Florida that its time we get a boat!

I found a beautiful 2000 Wellcraft 186 in phenomenal condition with just 300 hours on the clock, it appears to have been very well maintained and so far I have only found some minor wiring issues that I have to correct. The "UP" trim button does not work, and someone seems to have wired it to a small aftermarket switch that they mounted on the dash, and of course the bellows are shot from setting so that it my first undertaking. Any tips or tricks? Its the Alpha one Gen 2 stern drive.

Thanks!

I have a 2002 Martinique with a failed Warner Linear actuator. Thomson Linear say they can help me but must have the model number of the actuator which is stamped on the side of the gearbox. Unfortunately, mine is gone because of corrosion. The number would start with DM12 xxxxx. This actuator could be on other Wellcraft or other mfgs. boats. The label on the motor show it is a DM12 series, dynamic load 1000#, static 1500#, 12v, 14 amps, duty time max 25%, ignition protected. The shafts travel length is 24” with another 1 1/2” for the 1/2” attachment hole. Have already searched the internet for an alternative supplier but can’t find one meeting all these requirements. Thanks in advance for any help !

Does anyone know of a source for replacing interior panels. The existing fiberglass ones are badly beat up and are barely holding on with screws.

Just acquired this boat 6 mod ago and have both 7.4s running.

I am trying to revive the windlass, I have 12.65v to windlass but when I jump contacts I get nothing, even when I go right to the windlass lugs. Tried a loadtester and it won't even read. I load tested the positive windlass wire from the battery switch panel by the stairs and it is good. I believe I have a bad ground connection but do not know where the black windlass ground terminates? Buss bar behind house panel doesn't seem to have that wire. I checked the batteries and they only have the large 0g batt cables, no smaller ground cables.

Anyone know where the windlass ground is landed?

So trailing my 2003 coastal 290 my front slide of the hard top over the center window section managed to come in pinned and air mailed somewhere on I75. My mistake should have had it pinned in the rear position but now I am in need of a new one. Any info on getting one or having one made would be greatly appreciated. I will be calling Wellcraft in the morning but being an 03 I do not have that high of hopes. So any info on getting one or someone else that has been down this road, any info would be greatly appreciated.
