I think that would work. I have done it using a couple of buckets of water to wash out hose backward.

On my 1999 210 I wired a Heater Craftt hot/cold shower to a switch with that icon. My switch layout is a little different than yours, but similar. It was not wired to anything originally.

I fixed my problem this weekend. The large bolt had fallen out of the bottom of the plastic shift plate contraption. I placed the bolt in my toolbox last fall when I winterized, not realizing at the time where it came from. That was a cheap lucky easy fix for me to put the bolt back in place.

Irish, I have the exact problem you had. How did you fix it? Were you able to fix it yourself? Thanks, John

A couple of years ago I won 2nd place in a photo contest at swimplatforms.com. I received $200 and 2 t-shirts. Here is a link to my wife sitting on the platform we installed. Couldn't live without it now...

There is a good possibility someone tightened the garboard drain plug down too tight, and the silicone seal was broken. If that is the case it is an easy inexpensive fix by the dealer or yourself.

I had a similar problem. Replacing the distributor cap and rotor solved the problem. I think a carb rebuild can't hurt.

This size works perfect for my wife and myself.

My wife always drives on and off the trailer. She likes to sit also. You can barely see her back there. My instructions are all by hand at the tail gate. OK, straight, left, Ok, straight, cut the engines, let me see the keys, drives up, we're out here!

I travel 11 miles each way every time I use my boat, and wouldn't want to tow it much farther very often. It can be done though. Definitely get the correct permits and follow the laws. Excellent advice from Jeremy as always.

gfueston, The above answers are correct. I have a good understanding of the batteries. I have installed a Blue Seas multimeter to see the amp draw at all times and the voltage of each bank at any time from the cabin. Sometimes I will stay anchored in 1 spot for several days at a time. Battery...

Anything is possible. Sea Ray used different battery/switch set ups in different years. On my 1995 I unhooked each battery and figured out which battery was house, start, combined, etc. by trial and error. You can also follow the positive battery leads into your battery switches (if you have one...

Can you be a little more specific on the exact location of the metal plug. The merc link you used in your "water open, closed" post was helpful.

That would be a drain plug. There should also be 1 on each side of the engine block (4 total). They are used for draining all of the water from your engine in winterizing. On some older engines the block plugs are metal and need a wrench to remove. Your plugs should screw in from the bottom so...

I made it here from Colorado! Glad to be here.
