    270 Amberjack camper back

    I take the canvas and bows off if need be, or fold the bows forward and secure with bungee cords. Often leave the extended Bimini on for shade and fish off the swim platform or bow. Truly a great addition to my 270. Can sleep several more grand kids aboard

    as to the dingy, lay it upside down on the bow and strap it down is the easy way. otherwise you can get some davits you attach to the swim platform and recepticals to glue to the inflatables tube. hook on, pull/tilt up and secure to the stern

    Probably Raymarine. Regardless go digital. use Furuno if it matches the rest of your electronics. You probably have a chartplotter capable of sirius wx radar overlay. Really nice, but it doesn't show oncoming boats and objects. there are some sonar units now with high resolution sidescan options...

    the easy way, had my son work on it. So I am not sure. the existing system when the switch and therefore pump is activated it activates a horn that screams, and is very annoying the horn needs to be disabled otherwise it screams every 2 1/2 minutes

    in the same location will not empty the bilge, but will keep the carpet dry, i suggest moving the pump to the lowest pump, you will need more hose to do that. Best to fix the leak too, but dry carpet is nice.

    You should also check the shower drain box which is under the steps to make sure there are no leaks from it. fill the trashcan with water and pour into the shower drain, immediately look in listen under the steps. make sure the shower bilge pumps the water out and there's no leakage from the box...

    Welcome to the 270 AJ Mistry water problem. I've had the same problems, first it was water and air conditioning condenser pan which solved the problem for a while. Then additional water showed up. Possible sources; if you have a fishing package with a radar arch check to see that the bolts...

    Deck chairs a good ides, also post on other bulliten boards. Try the fishing ones, since the 290 aj is a fishing fool. Also it is simple enough to make, some marine plywood, piano hindge, folding legs. Then get a shop to cover it with matching material.

    I don't know how many tanks you are talking about, but if you have the fish package you have to rod holders on each side. Have baskets built that will secure the tanks upright the height of the side, perhaps rubber feet on the bottom, have a lip that goes over the gunnel with 2 pieces of pipe...

    the 21 degree deadrise is good for slicing the waves, but that and a narrow beam means you will need to be working the trim more than you may like. Especially if the crew moves about. I was considering putting in auto leveling trim system, but after the hydrofoil, I have taken a wait and see...

    Keep an eye out for water in the sump under the waste basket. It can lead to wet carpet. Several reasons for the problem, do a search for 270 AJ and wet carpet on this site and you will see what I mean. My problem was leaking AC condensation pan, later seal around radar arch attachment points.
