Hi there durandjj,
It is the industry standard 3/4" tapered shaft with key.
Hope this helps!

Hello Lehighalums,
A swim platform railing was not offered as a factory option. I did "Google" it and there were many different styles to choose from!

Hey There seanfitz,
The 282 Cruiser is "Yacht Certified" by the NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) and the US Coast Guard. There should be a placard (made of metal) on the starboard side of the boat near the helm/throttle control that states "Yacht Certification". This means there is not a specific capacity limitation for the 282 Cruiser. However, it is the boat operators responsibility to maintain safe boating practices and use common sense when taking guests aboard. You do not want to hinder your boats ability to maneuver or safely take heavy wake/waves.
The maximum capacity ratings for boats stems from a US Coast Guard research of boating accidents and was first implemented around 1972. The results of the study revealed that the leading cause of accidents in boats under 26 feet was overloading.

Hi michgal2k,
You can order the current cockpit carpet for the 214FS/224FS from any Monterey dealer. To find the one closest to you, please use our dealer locator at our home page www.montereyboats.com. The dealer can quote you price and installation cost. The color is (and has been) a neutral beige/gray mix called Pebble. Right now it is about 2 weeks out on delivery.

Hello apadilla,
5000 feet plus is considered high altitude. If you are going from one altitude to another to go boating you will need to change out the prop (usually one pitch) to obtain optimum operation of the boat.

Hi there wflynn,
The 180 Edge beam is 7' 8" and the dry weight of the boat/engine is 2100 pounds. Keep in mind that weights are approximate, based on the average weight of 7 to 10 production boats.
This information is also in the Owner's Manual in the Product Support Section of this forum.
The 180 Edge is a great boat!

Hello apadilla,
The fuel capacity for the 180 Edge is 20 gallons.

Hi Jim,
You can contact any Mercruiser dealer with your outdrive serial number/s and they can tell you the gear ratio.

Hi There J-Phil,
The 2004 265 Cruiser has a hull length of 26' 11". With the extended swim platform the total LOA is 29' 6".
I hope this clears up your question!

Hello cj264,
Those specific parts can be purchased through your Monterey dealer. The bow filler cushions take about 10 days to deliver from the vendor and the Seadek approximately 2 weeks.

Great Lakes Boat Top also makes a great product and has excellent service but in this case they were not the vendor (Thank you "On Da Boat"!).

Hi there ldg7230,
That is also the Igloo 25 quart (#1433). You can find them at most marine supply stores. I have also seen them at Gander Mountain and Walmart stores.

Hi Sophie,
The easiest wy to access the VHF is to remove the upper instrument panel(#3 in the attached photo). Remove the screws, lay the panel back (on a towel or cloth) and then you can access the nuts on the back of the VHF. When replacing the upper instrument panel be careful not to over tighten the screws as you might crack the panel. Also, do not burr the screws as that can cause corrosion/rusting to occur.
If you need to locate your nearest RayMarine dealer you can do so at www.raymarine.com.
I hope this helps!

Excellent- thanks for letting us know!

The document shows 28P props, my survey shows 24P props, could that be causing the lack of RPM's?
Jim
Hi Jim,
Not neccesarily. Prop selection is also based on the gear ratio of your outdrive, what you use your boat for and the alitude that you boat in. It would be a good idea to get the advice of a certified Mercruiser tech and also make sure the tach's are synchronized. Also confirm that you are getting a true mph reading on a GPS for your speed in case it is a gauge issue.
There is a prop selector on the Mercury website as well: www.mercurymarine.com

MOST,
Page 1 shows 350 MAG 300 HP motors, page 2 shows 320hp under Boat Specifications and 300hp under Engine specifications.
Do you know which one is correct?
Jim
Hi Jim,
On page 2 the section called Boat Specifications, T-320 is the max horsepower rated for the boat model.

Hello Mark,
A windlass was not offered as a factory option on the 242 Cruiser. Is there a manufacturer name on the windlass itself? Any markings on it?
