update-finally found a kohler rep who came and looked at the bilge discharge problem. it was not the reed and after finally finding service bulletin 697 found that the catalyst was blocked inside the ss exhaust manifold. pulled the manifold and it was blocked for sure.spent the rest of the...

no-there is water discharging from exhaust but a lot of pressure from the siphon break paul

i finally got the new reed for the siphon break on the kohler genny. after replacement there is still water firing into the bilge. opened the siphon break and find the reed inverted and stuck to the top of the siphon.tried again but same thing. 8.1hrs on the genny no fault codes...

i checked and cleaned the reed in the siphon break but it still discharges. i don't like the sound of blocked water passages. the two hoses that connect to the siphon break, i can only blow thru one but i am doing it with the seacock closed so i do not know if thats normal. i also am...

i have an 06 sea ray 290 that came with a kohler gas genny. i have used it very little and has 8.1 hrs if im reading the display correctly. i decided to start it and opened up the engine hatch to find a clear 3/8" hose that comes from the 2 larger hoses under full discharge into my bilge. that...

thanks for replying. no- none of the faucets work, i usually hear the motor when i flip the breaker. today i called the marina and they told me" the pump was discontinued "but there must be some replacement as the boat is only 3 years old. i cannot find any fuse except the main breaker in the...

i have a 2006 290 sundancer.using the rear shower then had a sudden failure of the fresh water pump.tank is full but cannot find a fuse other than the on/off breaker at the main panel.downstairs there is a plug that connects the 12v to the pump but that seems fine. this is a shur-flo 2.8 gallon...

i visited the merc dealer today-he was unsure if it was warranty, he said it depends on how it got bad.this is an 06 with the extended warranty purchased for a total of 6 yrs. anyway he pointed out the grease nipple for the gimbal bearing and sold me grease and a mini grease gun. he said...

ok-maybe worth the two hour boatride to get to a dealer.would the growl be there in neutral.how serious is this repair? driller

when i start my boat, the port engine starts and sounds like a typical engine.the starboard engine has a growl thats hard to describe.it was always there but lately i have noticed it more.could this be related to the tilt of the sterndrive or the power steering? there is also a noise when the...

i have an 06 290 and am wondering how i should mount radar. i have the c80 by raymarine so the 2kw tupperware unit is the one i want but i do not know how to mount it.i have asked a couple of sellers at boat shows but they just hand me catalogues.anyone else have radar on the 290? to...

on my 290 there was a gfi in one of the cabinets that was very hard to see.once reset i had 110v everywhere. check everywhere driller

i dont mind losing the glomex as it gives me 1 fuzzy channel. i could mount it there. the gps is already off to the side and sat radio on other side. both of these antennae are flush mounted. any idea if i should be using a wedge at least for a better radar angle? driller

i currently have an 06 290 sundancer. i installed a c80 plotter with gps and left extra strings from the arch to the panel. my question is because of the forward arch design do i need a bracket or mount for the radar.i want to use the 18" dome and my glomax antennae is currently in the middle of...

i bought an 06 290 with 40hrs that came pretty loaded.underwater lighting and genny.i worked hard for the deal but i think in this market that may be overpriced. i do not see the merc smartcraft display and there is no radar for sure. i also think the standard engines are a bargaining chip. i...

mark-i have an 06 290 sundancer with the 5.0 bravo 3 option. at the 07 boat show this became quite the discussion between searay boat dealers. some felt the reduced weight approx. 100pds per engine would offset the hp difference. i bought the 06 with 40 hours and put 54hrs on my first...

i have a 06 290 and i love it. it has the twin 5.0. one thing i find on this boat is with the mini hardtop it catches a lot of wind during close docking.i get pushed around quite a bit-i can't imagine doing it with a single.there r people but im not one of them. heading to the toronto boat...

congrats on the boat-i am glad`to see another 290. i purchased an 06 in may with 44hrs and just got put away with 92hrs on it. i really enjoyed the first summer and the boat gets a lot of attention on the water. the 5.0bravo3's worked perfectly and looking forward to the spring.you...
