Finally got the boat out for the first time this year. Yeah I know, that’s just wrong! I noticed my analog gauge on my stbd motor tach was not even with my port. About 350 rpm less at same throttle position. But when I scrolled to the digital display it was syncd. Is there a way to reset the...

Grew up near Cleveland but have never been to the air show on the water. Planning to bring my 290ss up from SW Ohio for Sunday. I have a slip (actually wall spot) reserved at the Rock Hall. Weather doesn't look great but fingers crossed. Couple questions. Depending on the weather should I...

I'm looking to see what people have found to be the better current options for getting satellite TV for watching some football. I use Directv at home and get the Sunday Ticket. I do not want to permanently mount it on my boat as I'd like to be able to use it on land with my toy hauler as well...

What is going on this year? I think his is the 3rd or 4th I’ve read about. Another terrible tragedy that should be easily avoidable. http://www.sanduskyregister.com/story/201807020022

installing this LED anchor light but for some reason the front LED is not coming on when in anchor mode only. It’s 3 wires so it seems plug and play. Anchor light on dash comes on but still only lights the rear running light. Any thoughts? Fuse somewhere?

This is actually for a enclosed trailer/camper I have but this boating site is the best knowledge source so here's my question. Looking for a pure deep cycle battery to run in an enclosed trailer to power a fridge etc when generator is not running. What is a good one? How long can I expect a...

Well after a great long weekend I discovered this when I got home. Argh! My vent cover is gone. I'm surprised to see that it was held in place only with caulk/rubbery adhesive. I think hanging a fender on that cleat probably loosened it up. Now the question is will I be able to order a new one...

Sorry for the new thread but I thought this question warranted it. In an effort to finish up my windlass install project I am trying to locate the wires that correspond to the up/down buttons on my touch pad. I have found the solenoid wires in the bilge and confirmed when i put power on it...

Well, I'm planning to tackle a new project and thanks to this thread . . . http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/65598-260-Sundancer-Windlass-Installation-(2003-Model) I think I have a good handle on what to expect albeit in a different boat. In fact, I anticipate my project will be a...

The rain in these parts just won't stop! I'm longing for the drought of the 2007. Planned on grad party saturday and boating sunday and monday and now it looks like a wash out at least until Monday. :smt021 May just keep the boat covered and play in the mud with the new toy. I got a 900 s...

I always hate to pay shops and mechanics for any kind of work so I really hate when something happens that I can't fix because it seems more often than not they screw something up! I was just reminded of this again to start the year. Here's what happened. Last fall my outdrives started to not...

Finished up polishing and waxing the black hull and getting the boat de-winterized. Still need to polish and wax the white top sides but love the way this thing still shines being that its 13 years old. Adding a new flat screen TV this year but otherwise all my other big ticket items were...

I'm thinking about replacing/upgrading my Magma grill and am wondering what new stuff might be out there that I haven't seen yet. I have one of the rectangle ones and it has served me very well. Just old and a bit small. But I like that style over the kettle ones. Plus i can use it as a...

Well, I went to winterize my boat yesterday and found a serious problem. My starboard drive will not trim all the way down or up. Something is apparently causing it to get bound up. Trim pump is working, has fluid, and will raise almost to upper trailer position but when doing so I could see...

Now that fall is about to end my boating season (winterizing this week) I'm turning my attention to a new toy I just got. Sold my Honda CRF250x and got a new Polaris RZR 900 s. Wasn't enjoying the bike as much as it's a pretty solitary thing and the risk of injury was ever present. I now have...

Well, my 290 is about to let me down on the biggest weekend of the year. :(. Could use some suggestions. Here's the deal. Boat ran great all last weekend. Went to launch today and keyed on then put switch into on and immediately got an alarm for water pressure sensor on port motor...

My boat has what I guess should be considered a "cooler" in the swim platform. While I doubt it's insulated or anything it is a pretty big tub and can hold quite a few cold ones! Problem is, the drain allows the ice to melt and drain right out so it doesn't last long. Is there a plug for this...

I need to buy new batteries (3) for the first time in 5 years so I'm behind on my research. My set up is one isolated to starboard motor and the other 2 are the combo house batteries and port motor battery. All 3 are the same. I did a quick search but didn't find any recent posts about what...

Our method of loading my boat is for the admiral to back the trailer into the water and me load the boat on it. I feel with every changing conditions at the ramp the more constant is backing down and she handles that reasonably well versus driving a twin engine boat on a trailer. But she has a...

Just got this done. Original carpet was basically falling apart in my hands when I got the boat. The fit of it was not great either as it had large (4-5") gaps from the edges to side. Our very own Canvas Medic took care of that with new tempates and Infinity woven. Love the look with this...
