You can get metal prep solution for aluminum at any good automotive paint supply store.

I just finished painting drives, and used alumaprep, then zinc chromate primer, then phantom black. This combo has worked well for me in the past. Of course, I'm in fresh water. I have read the trilux contains small amount of copper as an antifouling agent and is not the best for sealing an...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have the dealer do the diagnostics and replacement.

Thanks Henry. It does have a display at the bottom (with buttons) and is capable of displaying other info so it sounds like a System tach. However, the Sea Ray dealer quoted $106 for the part (based on my HIN). I was assuming the speedometer was the system guage. Sounds like I might need...

I have an issue with my port tach and am considering replacement. The analog guage is inop intermittantly (reads zero or low), but the digital display is constant and correct. This leads me to believe it is a mechanical/electrical issue in the analog guage itself and not an engine or...

Sorry, I have a 2007 290 Amberjack with 350 mags, but it has Bravo IIIs. With a full load of fuel and gear for a weekend, we burn about 20-21 gph at 3400 rpm. That gives about a 26 kts cruise with no wind (30 mph). This cruise fuel economy is about 1.5 mpg. This is the best we have done and...

I have an 07 290 Amberjack and have taken the aft seat out. It does not fold flat (as it should), but you need to take the pins out of the hinges and remove it from the boat. As far as the passenger seat, as Youngin19 said, along with the screws on the port side there is a spring clip on the...

Aerobaticflyer - Thanks. The boat was a repo and had no manuals (I'm accumulating everything now), so I'm still not up on all the smartcraft functions to find fuel consumption. All i've seen so far is combined, instantaneous FE. I'll look for fuel burn on each.

I need to top off again to confirm, but based on last top off and rough calculation it appears it could be burning as much as 1-1.5 gph more at cruise (3400 rpm).

I have a 2007 290 Amberjack with T-350 Mag MPI Bravo III (about 75 hours). I bought the boat used this year and have only put about the last 10 hours on it, but have a question about fuel economy. Based on gage readings it appears the port engine uses fuel at a faster rate. Also, at my first...
