I am moving out of state to work and unfortunately I have to sell my baby. This boat is in excellent condition. It has two 4.3L Mercruiser engines with Bravo III outdrives. A total of 440 hp. It has been kept in a covered boat slip and used on local fresh water rivers and lakes. Selling price...

Fellow boaters, Over this past weekend, I lost water pressure to my starboard engine causing the high temperature alarm to go off. I shut that engine off immediately and located the nearest marina to my location. Unfortunately, I was about fifty miles from home. After opening the engine...

Hello my boating friends, Does anyone know where to get a replacement handset for a Northstar 100SS VHF radio? The cord on mine has become brittle and is beginning to fall apart. The radio is working fine, but I do have some static when using it that I am assuming is because of the cord. This...

Tom (Bennett Marine), I followed your instruction with filling the trim tab reservoir with transmission fluid to the proper operating level. The reservoir was real low, for it took about ½ quart. I proceeded with checking the operation of the portside trim tab first and the up/down operation...

Hi all, I am the 2nd owner of this boat and I do not believe any preventative maintenance has been do to the trim tabs. It appears that the level in the reservoir is low. Can someone tell me how to go about adding fluid to the proper level, for I do not see a cap on top of the unit to remove...

Fellow boaters, I was able to use a chain fall with a sling to lift my engine hatch cover. I checked the Aft EIM breakers to make sure they did not trip when the trim tab motor somehow got stuck on and knock the starboard control panel out. At first, I thought that this would have just burned...

Hi fellow boaters, I am wondering if anyone has experienced the problem of the Electrical Interface Module (EIM) not working at all. I was having an issue with my trim tabs on that panel not working properly and the motor had gotten stuck in the on position somehow causing the entire panel not...

Hello fellow boaters, Recently, my portside outdrive starting making noise when the outdrive is in the upward position and either when I turn hard to the left or right. With both outdrives down and at idle speed there is no noise. How do I know whether this is a gimbal bearing or U-joint that...

Hello fellow boaters, I am looking for the best quality compound and wax to use on my 2007 290 Sea Ray. I have had the boat for ~ 2 years and the paint on the boat has a dull look to it. I am not sure when or if the boat has ever been waxed. The color of my boat is a taupe color. I am assuming...

:smt089 Fellow Boaters, Can anyone supply me with a wholesaler to buy the anchor, rode and line? I was setting my anchor yesterday at one of our favorite spots by the mouth of the lake when the rope broke losing the whole set-up. Since we were in shallow water 5-6 ft. I tried to find it, but...

Fellow boaters, Has anyone ever experienced the level in the outdrive reservoir rising to full capacity of the container? This has occurred on my starboard motor. It must have occurred last week when we had taken the boat out on the lake. Prior to departing I always check the levels of all...

I have ~ 400 hours on my Kohler generator. I am experiencing (2) problems when trying to start up the generator. First, I have to bleed some fuel to get the generator to run which is a pain because of where the valve stem is located. I am not sure, but I believe air may be getting in the system...

Hello my fellow boaters, Yesterday while running my boat on the river, I received a warning beep and Fault sensor indicator on my Port engine. I had noticed on a few other previous trips that the oil pressure on this engine had been fluctuating on this engine down to 20 psi. This time it bottom...

I have just purchased a 290 - 2007 SeaRay Sundancer. I am not familiar with these vaccum flush systems. When pushing the pedal the bowl fills up and will not empty into the tank. At first, I thought my tank was full. Had the system pumped out until it was empty. Toilet still fills up with water...
