Great news..a little sweat equity, and I am back in business...replaced both solenoids for $32 yesterday, and works like a charm...Thanks for all of the advice...actually did not remove the pump, 'rebuilt' the solenoid unit at home, and just wiggled in and out a bit through the battery and...

I came really close to taking the whole unit out yesterday but was fearful of disconnecting the hydraulic lines and leakage...so I did the contortionist thing and took just the solenoid assembly off...which was a real pain...when I reconnect it next week, I will reassemble like you suggest out...

I ruled out the power supply and possible faulty pump by switching the pump leads and it worked...Thanks David

Bad edit..sorry

I found the Mercury parts on eBay for $16.90 each with free S/H.....(Amazon was a few bucks more)...#89-96158 Hopefully will install next weekend Thank you all.. David

UPDATE: I put the boat on the rack today, and with it very quiet, I could here the "up" solenoid click when I pushed the button, but no pump noise, when I pushed down, I could here the 'down' solenoid click and the pump activate (but obviously, it can't go any further down....I then switched...

Thank you--I have been on youtube all morning...I will investigate the solenoids tomorrow...just got to locate them first on the boat...HAHAHA David

Well, finally got the boat in the water yesterday, and the prop is indeed stuck in the lower position...pushing the 'raise' buttons at the stern and cockpit makes no sound at all...pushing the 'lower' buttons makes an odd mechanical sound (hard to describe)...and now I found out my marina no...

Thanks - will certainly look at this possibility.. David

Thanks everyone- I suspect the low battery is the culprit, but won't know until I crank the engine for the first time when she is in the water...was just making sure there was not the possibility of something more sinister awaiting me...I have done no charging to the battery this season, only...

Once again I am back, as this forum is amazingly helpful: I have the service department at our dry storage marina do the winterization for me (Oil change/fogging, etc.)and just like in years past, I 'dewinterize' it in the Spring. That being said, the boat was placed on the rack as usual and I...

Thanks....makes me feel better..he must have dropped one, and just replaced it in the bag...was pretty sure four was it, but started questioning it after finding the other one.... David

In the past I have asked that when they winterize my boat, that they do the oil change at that time and other work, so that come spring time, all I have to do is replace the blue plugs and head out. That being said, I have had a brain fart this year and can't remember how many there are supposed...

Only one battery,new last summer...

Excellent....everything is original, no modifications, just started happening...didn't have a chance to check the fuse today...I assume they are in the storage area where the electronics are located for the stereo, etc... I will plan on investigating it Friday, so thank you for the help..I was...

How easy is that to investigate? Any chance this is related to the 12 volt going out as well? Thanks david

I have a 2006 240 Sundeck...just recently the stereo will randomly make a pop sound, similar to when you plug in a jack to the aux plug, but this occurs from all sources when it is on, ie. radio, ipod plugged into aux, etc....it occurs even if the boat is not moving and is completely still...the...

I had given this a thought as an option, but was not sure were it would drain to, very glad you mentioned the fuel tank!!!Assume no issues letting water go through them and below? I am curious why Sea Ray did not have a hole in them in the first place for drainage, only thing I can figure is...

Did you remove the gasket or just apply the silicone? Let me know if it does okay.. David

Re: Water leaking into table storage/trash cabinet.. so assume you mean I need to remove the foam entirely and then use the LifeSeal product?
