Ill keep you updated Stee, no need to come out to the dirty D! Thanks all for your insight, have a great weekend on the water.

Yes the bilge breaker is popped. When I push it down it doesn’t stay down. Never had to mess with this panel before. Do I need to take it apart to reset or swap something out. I could try again with a screw driver to reset, I wouldn’t stay with my finger alone.

Even though it’s not a lot of water, I would usually get a little bit to kick out, and I would hear the pump on at least. So maybe it’s just my helm switch. I’ll play with the float switches. Thanks for the help all.

I see the knob, I’ll give those a twist, I can reach those.

I’ll check to see if the switch is lighting up. My float switches have the plastic cage on them so I’ll need to unscrew them to get them out of there, I can just flip with a brush. I’m thinking there is a fuse or breaker somewhere along the line if both pumps are not working and the float...

Had big engine issue earlier this summer and spent half the summer without the boat. Now running great but yesterday noticed both my bilge pumps were not working. 2001 Sea Ray Sunsport 280 with twin Mercruisers. Two float switches and 2 pumps, neither work when I hit the bilge pump switch at...

In case anyone is interested in the result of this issue, I waited about 4 weeks for a different mechanic to look at the boat and they ended up finding that 2 of the fuel injectors were bent in the starboard engine "as if someone stepped on them". Replaced and the boat is running great, just...

Thanks for the reply. The CC is only killing the one engine and the first time I did it it worked for about a minute and I was going to head out on the lake. Then it started killing it just on the switch. Was weird if my theory was correct about the flapper/rubber damage the CC should have...

Hello boat experts- Im not an expert and maybe an advanced novice at best. I think im getting close to solving an issue that my mechanic has not been able to solve and I wanted to bounce this idea off the group. I have twin Mercruiser 350 MAG MPI engines in my 2001 SeaRay Sunsport 280. I...

The mechanic said the fuel pressure was the same in both engines while running, not sure what the pressure was... hes spent 5 hours on it and cant figure it out. Sounds like they are done and are telling me to pick it up and run it until the problem gets worse and declares itself...

Belle Maer is right around the corner from my parents, they moved into their place on N River Rd about a year and a half ago... if no progress by Saturday maybe I will try to make it up there somehow. Thanks again.

Extremely generous thank you! Right now the boat is at Miller Marina just north of 9 mile and I wouldnt be able to make it up there Saturday, im going to be a solo dad all weekend with my 7 year old (no problem) and 1 year old (problem!). I spoke to the office at Miller and passed along the info...

No beeps, sounds fine when its running in idle and even at high RPM while in neutral, problems only when out on the lake taking off or giving throttle, no sputtering I can detect but the other engine may be masking it. No beeps out on the lake either.

Thank you, what does the knock sensor do? Would that keep the RPM low?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, my guess is the water separators are original, I got the boat in 2014 and engines only had 200 hrs each, it was in immaculate shape. I do love this boat, and im sad this is possibly the first major issue ive had with it. I store it at Miller Marina in the winter and keep...

Hello group, You have helped me in the past as im a relative novice to boat mechanics so im coming back to the well... I have a 2001 Sea Ray Sunsport 280, twin 350 Mag MPI Mercruiser engines, mechanic maintained, oil change every year etc. So I had it put in on May 7th, drove it about 6...
