I have a 2004 340 with 6.2L engines. I had a recent ICA failure on Starboard engine and my power steering quit. With both engines having power steering pumps isn't there a redundant design for power steering to continue to operate with one engine running? Is there a problem with my steering...
Hello everyone. New to boats in general and I have a question. I have a 2011 Sea Ray 185 sport with a 4.3L engine. I started getting one beep about once a minute while coming in last week. I believe it is a low fluid warning since my gauges all looked good. Is there a diagram somewhere that...
I have a question to see what you all think. We have 2007 290 Sundancer with twin 5.0 mercruiser engines. The power steering pump that runs the power steering is from the starboard engine. I need to replace the power steering pump on my port engine because it is make a god awful noise. The main...
Just got my 2003, 400 hr, 5.0 L, 21' Bowrider with power steering out for first time. Prior boats were 150 hp+ outboards with manual steering. Surprised that new steering is not as light as a car's. Also, there is about 3/4" center play measured on perimeter of steering wheel. Quickly got...

The steering on my 260DA has been stiff since I bought it last season. It requires nearly as much effort (95%) to turn the wheel with the engine on vs engine off. I've finally worked my way down the "to do" list to this item, and am having some trouble pinpointing the cause of the problem...
I just discovered this forum while searching for an answer to my power steering problem.
I just moved to St. Pete, FL...live on the water...with a dock and lift in my backyard on to Tampa Bay. Sometimes I have to pinch myself.
I use my Searay Bowrider more than ever now, but the use and...
The power steering in my Sea Ray isn't working. I just purchased this boat and it just had a new engine. I'm not sure if the PS was working for a short time after the engine was replaced or not. I just bought it last week and it hasn't been working from day one.
The steering cable is working...
