You may have a good point , I assumed it was the solenoid since it goes up at both the switch on the stern & the gear shift but won't go down . When you try to lower it you can hear the solenoid clicking but the motor isn't running .. I've got it in the down position now so I'm not going to do...

Have a 2002 SeaRay 220SD & apparently the Down Side Solenoid has failed me . Engine will trim up but you really gotta play with the trim switch a while to get it down . Have to go on the trim switch on the stern and mess with it . The pump is way in the back with a very small Access . Are these...

Have heard it both ways , Do I fill the tanks full on my Sea Ray 220 Boat & Yamaha FX Cruiser Wave Runner & put Stabil in to avoid condensation or small amount of water going into tank because of the condensation ? Or do I just put Stabil in relevant to the amount of Gas that is in each engine ...

Yes turning over every time , Firing some but when it does crank it doesn't stay cranked . I hope it's not water in gas , that's about $200 worth . Fuel pump maybe idk . It's kicking on when key is turned

Yes it turns over , & will crank about one outta 5 tries & then immediately go dead .

Ok I have a SeaRay 220Sd Sun Deck . Pulled to ramp this past W/E pushed off the boat from my trailer with my wife in it just like we always do . I have to push her completely off trailer because water is not deep enough to let engine down & crank sitting on trailer . Boat would not crank , it...

Ok then , finally found a mechanical question no one else has experienced . Gonna have to check with a professional

Ok I have a 2002 Sea Ray 220 Sun Deck , A few times this Summer it doesn't crank right up , never failed to crank but drags a little . I ran all the Gas out & put a fresh 50 Gallons in & even added a Lil Sta-bil. ( Mercruiser Mechanic told me " NEVER put SeaFoam in ANYTHING I own ) It still does...

Want to get a couple this year for my SeaRay , Bout need to make payments on a Yeti .There was a youTube video testing 5 of the top Coolers . Engel was the winner but the Coleman Extreme was best for the buck. I'm leaning toward the Engel unless someone here changes my mind . Any takers ?

Guess I'm Outta Luck On This One Huh

I Love that Boat , 350K ? Gees ... Love that Master Bedroom area with the Sofa . Not a big Ref or Shower area for that price & it needs to have The Axim Drive System , Don't know if that will work with Outboards

Ok I have the above mentioned Boat . It is in impeccable shape . My only issue is the upholstery on the Motorbox Cov needs to be reworked , Simple Right ? I took it off when I Winterized took it to 3 different upholstery shops , NONE of them could match the Colors & it will be noticeable . I...

The tail light, brake light , blinker lights on my trailer were old & corroded , I bought a new set of LED lights and installed them . The Brake lights and turn signals do not work , I made sure they were grounded properly and even Hooked my boat to the Reese hitch for added ground . Checked my...

Thanks to both y'all above, I think y'all are correct, after I read your post I remember having similar incident 5 or 6 years ago with the same symptoms plus there was warning beeps then and that's was what it was

Ok coming into the Marina no wake idling in, Boat just goes dead . Had to pull on trailer with rope . Got boat cranked again by knocking outta gear & pushin on gas but when you put back in neutral boat goes dead .. Plus you get 2 warning beeps . I opened hatch and turned key over to see if fuel...
