1993 Ski Nautique parts

I have one of the "rare 1993 Ski Nautique's and have had a great deal of issues identifying part numbers for replacement. having searched high and low for cross reference information, emailing the mfg, speaking with mechanics, part manufacturers... I thought I would start listing known replacement parts in one location for the future "fly" to find easily.
This boat was a rescue, motor was seized, the haul in decent shape, carpet is gone, vinal good. A very thoughtful friend gave it to my son and now he and I have the father/son project "of a lifetime?"
We removed the valve covers, plugs and the exhaust manifold, soaked the carb, and pistons with tranny fluid, marvel... she now turns.


I have the 5.8 Liter reverse rotation (1-8-7-3-6-2-4-5) motor with the 1:1 transmission
OEM Starter: (very difficult to locate the original part number) RA122002 (this is the CCW starter)
Aftermarket: Arco 70201

I'm looking for the correct exhaust manifold gaskets next, if you know the correct one's please feel free to add. I hope to complete this list as I move forward, but I just ordered my starter.

Welcome to the forum and by all means post pictures.

Yup, I do. Thanks, I originally bought it because it was more affordable than most 93+ boats I had seen, but I've come to really appreciate it.

Here are a bunch of part numbers for PCM engines printed in 1998 so your 93 stuff is in there

sorry about the pic, guys the format changed on the upload

You need one of the PCM secret decoder rings to decipher your tag. It would tell you the following


P- Pleasurecraft
R- Right hand rotation engine
D- 351 Ford (std output)
P- PCM transmission
R- Reverse or reduction gear (this one's a little confusing because it says "reverse or reduction gear" but it means you have a straight inboard transmission
R- Right Hand propeller
10-it's a 1 to 1 transmission

Welcome to club '93! I have a "normal" rotation boat, but I know of a boat just like yours on my lake (Lake Stevens in Washington). They are cool little machines. I think that Art informed us the factory called them "Scrappy" Ski Nautiques. Stripped down, bare bones, hard core ski machines in 1993. A good idea that many of us wish was still in vogue at Nautique today! Congrats on the boat. What parts do you need? Carpet on your boat is pretty easy. Cut it a bit big, lay it in the boat, trim, and then start gluing it in sections. I was really nervous when I did mine but it turned out to be pretty forgiving and simple to do. -Kevin

I wonder how many boats are ordered vs built for just a dealer or as in the old days one of the distribution centers. I guess that maybe with price of them now that none are built on speculation?

looks just like yours :-)

except not as clean,   when I get it running, I'll add some more pics, it was left unattended for a couple of years.

Oh, I hate to brag but.... You can watch the journey unfold at my blog,
KRoundy's Boat Blog

Here's what I started with:


It was a beat-up ski school boat with cracks in the floor, a miss-matched engine cover and oh yeah, it had no engine. Or trailer. I stripped it bare and built it back up. It was an amazing journey I never could have completed without all my friends here at CCF!

Flyfish, are you in Discovery Bay? Photo of boat in water appears to be DB.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us. I too have a 1993 SN, 351W, with the 1;1 transmission. I would say they were anything BUT a bare bones SN. I've put in about a years worth of "work" on my boat to get it to where it is today. They are great boats. Here are a few pics of my 93. The first one is the day we picked it up...worn,scratched faded gelcoat, inside was tired as well.   Last two pics AFTER I put a TON of "arm work" into the gel coat, and interior. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

recognize the place???

Sure am, looks like we have a lot of SN's in the neigborhood.

Nice boats, I know it takes a lot of work to bring one back to like new. But it sure is rewarding just messing with boats.

Also - next thing to work on is removing all the old graphics on the side. One side says, "Ski Nautiqul" because the upper portion of the "E" is missing. I need to get those off, remove or repair some scratches in the gelcote, and then install new graphics.

And I can't get the speed pickup to work on the Perfect Pass.

And I can't get the depth finder to work properly.

And I need to see why my fuel gauge still isn't working 100%.

And I want to do the 1993 Dashboard Grounding upgrade.

And.....
