Default look what I found

Stopped by after work to clean it up some. I was poking around the engine compartment and found about a 6' braided line under the engine. Woohoo, i'm thinking it is an oil drain. I still have a ton of cleaning to do, but here are a couple more pics.

26sonic, it might be the same boat, I think it has had a couple owners near to you. Re: the engine, i think it has had a couple of different ones in it over the years.

Interior question for you guys. The foam in the bottom part of the rear seat is "flat" for lack of a better word. Because of this, the seat looks a little baggy. Have any of you guys had this problem and how did you fix it. I'm thinking of carefully taking the back off and inserting some more foam. They are not in great shape, but I think I can get a couple more years out of the interior.

The rocker switches are made by carling. I have replaced all of mine.you can pull them up online. You must purchase them from a carling dealer. I don't know what is going on at sonic right now, I called Bruce at sonic, he was to get them for me. Very easy to replace.

Default Thanks Guys for the switch info

Thanks, Will let you know how my testing goes this weekend. Some of them might just be the fuse, some might be wiring, the hatch lift is the one that is worrying me becuase it has power and works (one side) when it feels like it.

One more pic, just becuase it isn't here and I can't go out and look at it.

You can take these switches apart. I've had a few of them that quit working and found that there was some corrosion inside. Cleaned them up and good as new.

Thanks Splash, that is what I was going to try this weekend. Good to know it's possible.

I'm sure you found switches by now I went through the hunt for switches awhile back and was able to order them for about 6 bucks per switch and they had some extra covers too I think there was a minimum amount to order but it wasn't bad I stocked up cause they are hard to find and Sonics current owners are worthless. Unless you want to buy a 400k boat. Wish the brand was supported by its owners, but I guess it's a tough business Good luck
