    1998 290 Sundancer - AC System / Leak in Front Cabin

    I still find water in both areas, but I have not found the root cause yet. I do not think the water is coming from the engine area as it is sealed. The water seems to come from the starboard side and it may be the water holding take, head, or cabin door gutter that drains off the starboard...

    290 Sundancer 1998 - Windshield Vent Actuator Wiring Problem

    I purchased a new actuator and it works when I connect it hot to a 12 volt source and reverse wires to extend and contract the piston. I also replaced the toggle switch on the helm and when I meter the 2 wires at the actuator I get 12 + and 12 - when toggling the switch. When I connect a 12...
