I'm looking to install a trumpet horn on the top of the arch on a 280. I'm fine running the wires except for the switch. On the back of the EIM there's just one connector and the wires are pretty tight so difficult to identify the horn wire in the bundle. Is there another way to get to the...

I'm looking to replace some missing screw covers that are used with headliners/upholstery. One piece goes under the screw the other caps it. Before I google where to buy them I need to know what they're called. Any idea?

Has anyone installed an electric hatch lift? My 2005 280 ER hatch is lifted by hand and it sure is heavy. I'd be interested in knowing if there is a kit available also if the electrical connection already exists in the ER. Also for those of you with a 280. Does anyone have an electric lift...

Heading up the Detroit river from Lake Erie - where is the best place to buy fuel?

For my 280. Looking for a bow rail flagstaff that doesn't look bulky or like a major add on. I'm also a bit fussy so it has to be centered. I know on larger SR that flagstaff is welded on. Any thoughts? FYI I will be using it for a burgee.

I only have about 25 hrs. running our new to us 280. Up until yesterday I've had no reason to use tabs as the 2/5.0's get the boat on plane quickly. It was a bit sloppy yesterday so wanting to smooth the ride I tried using the tabs. Unlike my other boats that had LED tab indicators - how do you...

I'd like to adjust my controls so that both engines line up. Currently one is off about 1/4+ from the other one. See pic. Any help would be appreciated.

For bravo !!!'s. Is there a way to see the angle that the outdrives are at - i.e. a "rudder indicatior" like you might see on an autopilot. I have trouble figuring our exactly where the outdrives are in relation to the centerline of the boat. I have tried the wheel stop to wheel stop - but can't...

Would be nice to get a listing of current gas prices. I'll start Catawba Island Club 4.35

Boat is a 2005 - 280 with twin 5.0 engines: I'm new to twin engines. Can anyone tell me how to syn the engines or does that happen via smartcraft gauge.

Boat; 2005 280 twin 5.0's. There is a depth transducer which is plugged into the SC gauges I'm going to replace the old Garmin chartplotter (no transducer) with a Garmin 942xs (which requires a transducer). I was thinking of swapping out the current depth transducer for one that is compatible...

Does anyone have operating instructions for this charger. The manufacturer no longer had instructions/manual on line. I'm specifically looking for what the LED lights signify.

I saw a recent article in Scuttlebutt about this location/marina. Has anyone seen up to date charts of the area or have been in the harbor. We're planning a trip with several boats including 2 sailboats . The info on the State park site (entrance depth) conflicts with what I see on the charts.

In my 280 I have 3 batteries. I left the charger on all night - this morning I tested all three batteries with a voltmeter (with the charger off). 2 of the batteries registered 13.2 and 1 battery which is on the house/starboard engine circuit) registered at 12.3 ( I turned off the battery switch...

It's that time of year when the ice fishermen don't pay attention to the weather forecast and suffer the consequences. I knew something was wrong yesterday when I heard the airboats and USCG helicopter. Can you believe some guys actually jumped in the water...

Has anyone ever removed the hot and cold knobs on their transom shower. I have an O ring sticking out from one of them so I wanted to remove and replace the O ring. Tried pulling it off but was unable to. Don't see any set screws either. Is there a trick to removing them?

We have a 280 currently kept in the Great Lakes and debating moving down to South Carolina and keeping it in an estuary with brackish water. How much of a problem will the mercruisers and B-3's be (related to corrosion).

We've been in storage since mid October, but there are a doz boats still in awaiting haul out. Since our lift is affected by westerlies it's been a challenge for the harbor crew.
