Thanks Devildogae. Any idea how many gallons per hour you burn at that RPM / speed? We are planning a long weekend with some sightseeing and was trying to figure out what our fuel costs might be. I've heard anywhere from 1 mile per gallon to 5 miles per gallon... Thanks,

Sorry I haven't been on here in a few days. My Step-dad who raised me is in the hospital... I did not make it out to the boat to look at any of the above. I will look into the limit switch as well. I only wish I had an "engine room" to work in! It's more like an engine closet or better yet...

JVM225 - Thanks for the diagram! It looks like there is only 1 solenoid to move it up. So, if the "Trailer" switch works to move it up, then it probably isn't the solenoid. However, it is definitely worth checking. There may be 2 separate wires to the solenoid and 1 of them is bad /...

Thanks for the detailed directions. I will do that some evening this week if it ever stops raining!

JVM225 - Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the switch because the drive will go up when I hit the "Trailer" button on the handle. If I knew where the solenoid was I could try that. I just got the boat 2 weeks ago and only had it out once... I'll look into it and try that though. Thanks,

I'm looking for a reliable supplier for a replacement trim switch on my 3000 throttle handle. I believe the part number is: 87-18286T34 The drive will not raise with the "Up" button. It will lower fine and it will raise with the "Trailer" button. Thanks,

Thanks Blt2rok! I should've thought about an inline fuse. I'll check that. I wonder where or if I can get a replacement switch on that throttle. I'll ask around about that. Thanks,

No responses, so I'm going to post some questions in other areas. That's the only reason I'll double post. I'll give it a little while longer begire posting again though. Thanks,

Thanks for the tip and advice. If we venture up that way I'll let you know! Thanks,

My wife and I were just talking about taking our boat to Cedar Point for a couple of days and then a few more days around PIB or Kelly's Island. Do you have any recommendations for the area. We used to camp with the kids at East Harbor SP, go to Cedar Point, PIB, etc. We always had a great...

Just added myself to it as well. 15 or so on there now!

Hello all! I'm fairly new here, but have been doing a lot of reading. We just purchased a 1996 250 Sundancer and took it out for the first time this past Saturday. I ran into a few issues and I am hoping some of you can help or at least put my mind at ease! I cannot get the entertainment...

OK, here are a few pictures. We are real people! I have a few questions, but I will direct them to the official 250 thread. Thanks everybody!

Thanks everyone! We finally got it in the water last Saturday and had a great time. I have a few questions when I have some more time. Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas. The concrete footer tubes are probably cheaper than PVC. Still not sure how practical that will be... Our V-berth does not have storage at the point. The sides do, but they aren't very long. The aft berth is probably where we'll be sleeping if the wife isn't too...

Thanks everyone. I'll pick up a few pool noodles!

Thanks everyone, I'll see what I can do with the pictures. It's sitting in storage right now and the weather doesn't look good this weekend (dangit). I'll be sure there's more of my lovely wife than of me! LOL

Thanks Buckeye! The terry cloth sounds like a good idea. I hadn't thought about the zippers etc. scratching it.

We just purchased our 250 Sundancer and it came with a camper top. The PO said it had rarely been used and I believe it after seeing it. There is some yellowing of a couple of the windows (Isinglass or Eisenglass type), but the others look great and the canvas itself is awesome. I understand...

I just finished it!
