I've read a few Threads about Water in the Cabin. Now, it's my turn. I keep my boat Immaculate to the extent that it only sees Sunshine when in use.:smt101 It;s a 25' Dancer. I had it outside for a couple of Rainy Days while doing some upgrades. I opened the Cabin Slider and the Floor was...
I never consume water stored aboard. Clean the Tank and add a small volume of Chlorine, sure. Shower with it, fine. Wash the dishes, fine. Ask yourself this. Would you buy your morning coffee from a store that stores the water for weeks at a time in a dark, Bacteria infested Tank? Either bring...
Just a little Nostalgia for fun. I love our 97 250DA and it is a wonderful boat. My cousin just emailed a picture of me and my cousins sitting in a three plank row boat on the Jersey shore in 1949. (Age 4). What great times we had as kids in those home made specials that always had water in...
We attended the Annual New York Boat Show at the Javits Center on the west side of Manhattan. It was a standard affair, but this year there was very poor attendance. No surprise here owing to the financial duress world wide. Once again the old adage, "Cash is King" holds true. A boat is a great...
I've owned our 1997 250 DA for 4 years now. The AC Panel has a switch that is labeled Inverter. This switch turns on the Battery Charger. How does the Inverter title fit in? Thanks in advance, Al W.:huh:
Working in my bilge today and noticed a device I'm sure is a Macerater. The system is a Vacuflush. I've never heard the Macerater run. When does it operate? Thanks, Al W.:huh:
Sometimes I just Hate myself!!! LOL I need to make a new Main piece for the rear Bimini on our 97 250DA. Is the pipe Aluminum or Stainless? Thanks, Al W.:smt021
Also known as a "Point of Use" heater. I have a 250DA with a 7.4 and all the options that SeaRay could crame into the Bilge. It is a PIA to work on! I'm considering removing the big heat exchanger type hot water heater with an Eemax Marine type unit that works on 120V. Anyone see a down side...
Here's the history. We've owned this boat for 5 years without the current problem. It's a 97 SeaRay Dancer, powered by a stout 7.4/300HP, TBI,Electronic Ignition engine. This season our boat will start and Die after maybe 2/3 seconds.This happens after short duration stops such as lunch. First...
I'm stumped! 1997 TBI, Digital Ignition. On the timing cover there is no Degree Tab just a funny looking bracket looking thing where the Tab should be. :smt089 Damper has the line so what do I do to time my engine? Please/Thanks, Al W.:huh:

Driving me Nuts!! 97, 7.4, Throttle Body EFI. Starts up cold just fine and runs like a champ. Stop for lunch etc. and it starts and immediately dies. After multiple attempts it will start and run just fine!:smt021 I've changed out the Idle Air Control, Electronic Coolant Sensor and Fuel...
