All of the cranking batteries expired or just the cranking battery that you had running the electronics or “house” battery. That would make sense if a cranking battery was used to run the boats electronics. But not all 3 going bad ?? Let me know im currently battery shopping. Planning on 2...

Great info on here, thanks so much. I have a 2005 290 AJ and I'm needing to replace all batteries. From what I've read on here I believe I have From front to back. Bat 1 is star starting, bat 2 is star/house, bat 3 is port starting. So, if replacing all batteries would batts 1 and 2 need to be...

Hello, just a minor problem. But the light in my bait station of 290 AJ is out. And I cannot see how to get into it to replace bulb? Anyone know how to do this. Does it unscrew from inside well and or do you access it from the back some how. Thanks so much

This switch has 3 wires red, blue, black. Easy to wire up. The wires are not for use with 2 switches or parallel. Red is 12volt power, black is ground, blue is out to led light. Leisure Lectronics 12 Volt PWM... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M63XHQ6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share but as I mentioned...

So if anyone else is having this issue with the dimmer switch. I replaced my switch with the one that hughespat57 posted above. It has the 3 connections black, red, and, blue. Easy to connect however this did not fix the issue. After cutting some zip ties to loose. I traced the led backlighting...

I’m currently having the same issue on my 290 AJ. Lights on guages work, lights in dash switches work indicating that are on “green” light when switch is on. no lights at all coming from dimmer which should light up the dashboard lettering etc? “Can’t wait” did that switch from Amazon work...

Problem solved folks! I just want to thank everyone for your replies. I think I took a little nugget from everyone to solve this : Before I dropped this new Hardin pump in I thought I’d take one more crack at the the ps cooler in the back. I was able to get hoses off to backflush. When I did...

I don’t recall seeing that. It is official mercury stat bought from mercury service dealer

Update - I just installed a mercury tstat to replace the cheap Amazon off brand I installed last fall. Check out the pic of the difference between the 2. Right one in a mercury brand new. Left is cheap one less than 1 month and use. I’m making progress. I cruised at 3500rpm for solid 25 min...

So I tested my t stat in pot of water last night. It is a 160 stat it does not open until 180! It is less than a year old. I would assume a 160 stat should open at 160 right ??? So do I have a bad Tstat. I’m gonna buy another to make sure

Really ! Wow that eases my mind

Ahh crap! I forgot to look at that when I was out ! I think that should be around 7-10 ?? I’ll have to check next time I get out there. Before I replaced sensor it read 0 all time or never got above 1-2

Update: tonight I just had a few hours but here is what I did: 1. New water pressure sensor - psi went from 0 to 2psi at idle. So I’m thinking the sensor was toast. So this part may be solved I hope 2. New temp sensor - no change and interesting after I started motor after installing it...
