So I was trying to remove the trim ring by looseing the screws that hold it on, I loosened all of them and pulled one out and noticed it was a machine screw and thought "Oh Crap" there must be a nut behind this, sure enough I can't get any of the screws to tighten back up.
Anyone know how to...
Thanks, only reason I ask was I kept seeing Alpha 1 stuff for sale. Good to know I have a good set up now, especially since I replaced the Merc. controlls to a Livorsi dual controll. I have much better controll.

I have a 98 290 sda with Alpha 1 outdrives, nothing wrong with them but was wondering if there are better outdrives I could replace them with and if so what the difference in thr two would be.

Thanks, I will start with the plugs, then move to the fuel filter.
just seems weird that it started and ran untill what seemed like it used what gas was perhaps stored in the carb bowl.

Started my gen this weekend and it ran untill carb seemed like it was out of fuel and died. I cannot get it started again. It ran fine all last weekend. Do you think it is the filter or the electric pump, or something else. HELP PLEASE. Oh yea I have a 1998 290sda I think it is a 4kw gen.
Thanks Pat
I have a 98 290 da and it did the same thing. I took it off and took it apart, those acuators have built in limits on both the open and close side which if reached will cut the power to them. There is a set of gears at the bottom after you open it up you can turn by hand to get it off limit...

1. Can this be done?
2. Has anyone done it?
3. What type of controlls and...
I just recieved my new cockpit cover from Great Lakes company, I also purchased the snap tool, has anyone installed a cover and the snaps? I noticed some of the snaps will need to be screwed into the fiberglass. Is it something I should get an experienced person to do? I have a 1998 290 da and...
Not really wanting to remove them, was just wondering what purpose they serve, also I would say, you wouldn't have to worry if your thermostat was open when you winterized if they were removed.

Does anyone know if the 1998 290 da had option of V drive or inboard? I don't like my gear throttle controlls and am thinking of having seperate controls for gear and throttle, is this even possible?
