So needing some help here, I know where the car you got oil water mixture whatever blown head gasket would not. This thing has had a lot of work prior to us purchasing it. It has set for probably a year maybe a little less. Basically I’m just needing some pointers on where to look and how to inspect for cracks or anything like that in the manifold. It doesn’t seem like the head gasket is blown, but what I’m gonna do is drain the oil put some fresh oil in it and see what happens. I guess this thing has like a radiator type set up on it. It’s the 3.7 L MerCruiser I’ve never really used forums before so this is kind of new to me. Sorry if this all sounds jumbled and crazy. This is a 1988 Wellcraft 192 classic I’m gonna add a picture of the engine like I said there was a lot of work done to it prior to us buying it almost $3000 worth of work. So hopefully I can get point in the right direction and not be something that needs a rebuild.

Good evening my name is Seth. My wife and I purchased a 1988 192 Wellcraft classic with the Cuddy. We are new to boats. This is our first ever we’ve had motorcycles and hot rods and stuff like that but we wanted something in our whole family can enjoy on the lake and stuff or on the intercostal. We are from Western North Carolina and I definitely will be asking a lot of questions again thank you.

HI
New member/owner. I have a 1983 Scarab 377 but with did not come with either an owners manual or a service manual. I have checked eBay, contacted Wellcraft, and asked dealers - all with no joy. Looking for a member who may have a copy, which I could either purchase or copy. Or looking for information if a member knows of a service who sells old Wellcraft manuals.
Thanks

trying to locate the cabin and cockpit amplifiers for the am/fm radio speakers on a 2008 360 coastal

Tough one to find so far. They are 14" straight style, with bolt-through attachment to the wiper arms. Any ideas on where to find?

Trying to see if anyone knows how to remove the bottom cushion on the Captains/Helm seat cushion so I can access the screws to tighten seat and armrests?

Hi, long time boater here, I just picked up this new-to-me boat, primarily for fishing in Upstate NY lakes and day trips. Has a 2024 Yamaha 150 on it, with 20 hrs... right there I knew I should take a close look at it.

This is the 7th boat I've bought (all used). I was looking at a couple Wellcrafts, the Robalo R180, Mako, etc. Stumbled on this boat that had almost everything I was looking for. First, it was previously owned by a charter guide, and he did a really nice job fitting it out, and clearly knew what he was doing and took care of it. 2nd, the original Yamaha 150 developed an irreparable problem so Yamaha replaced it for him under warranty last fall. Minn Kota Trolling motor with GPS (no more hauling up the anchor multiple times per day!), the 9.9 HP trolling motor is connected to steering and has it's own trim motor and throttle, which is really nice. Add to that Wellcraft's reputation, hull, and solid no-wood construction and it was an easy decision.

I've owned Sea Rays, Jeanneau NC 795 (still have that one), C-Dory22 Pilothouse, Checkmate, etc. Really looking forward to the Wellcraft, the deep V is quite nice and a pretty smooth ride for a 20'. Thinking about adding tabs but will see how it goes before I do that.

Hey All!

Just recently picked up an 88 190 classic Bowrider and just need to see if anyone has either a manual or can help with its startup procedure. Engine wont even crank and now I'm stumped. this boat was free and i am currently re-doing all the stringers and deck. any help is much appreciated!

We purchased a 1987 V20 steplift with a mercruiser I/O. There is a decal on the side of the boat at the fueling port that gives instructions on blower usage. All of the identifying labels were missing from the dash switch plate. If anyone has a picture of what switch is where on the switch plate I would appreciate seeing it.
