I appreciate the feedback! I have owned this boat for four years and noticed this problem for the first time yesterday. How much do the trim sending units cost and is the installation difficult?

I knew I could count on a response from Henry!:grin:
So inside the "hockey puck" is simply an analog gear that sends a signal like a regular gauge?
And forgive my ignorance but what is the decimal that you are referring to (1.4 - 1.9).... My SC display is only whole #'s... does yours do hundreths or are you eyeballing the analog ?
Thanks Turtlesboat. So, not a problem from your perspective?if the impellers haven't been changed in 3 years, then it's time to replace them.
This is an individual selling the boat. We went and spent the day with him and his family on the boat and got to know him/them. He has maintained the boat religiously each year (his dealer doing the work - winterization, oil change, impellers, etc.). He volunteered the information on this issue and is having the impeller replaced this week. He described the symptoms from the first engine's impeller problem and how it was immediately rectified by replacing the impeller.If the engine is overheating at idle, and the impeller hasn't been changed in 3 years, that could be the cause and the first place I would look. Most sellers neglect maint while the boat is for sale (oil, zincs, impellers, manifolds, risers, etc...)
is this a private sale or through a dealer?
Question, is he getting into junk in the freshwater lake that is causing this? (aren't there strainers on the freshwater intakes?)
A passenger on my boat forgot to secure the mini-fridge door while we were underway recently. Of course when it got choppy the door was swinging violently without our knowledge as the cabin door was closed. To make a long story short, one of the clear plastic shelves mounted to the door broke. I know that the manufacturer is Norcold. Does anyone know the model number or how I could go about finding a replacement. Thanks!!!
Does anyone with a 2008 or 2009 280DA have a picture of the canvas helm cover? I was told by Great Lakes that they were made for the 08 280DA. I know the helm design is the same as mine so it should fit just fine. Great Lakes can't send me a pic because they are made to order but I am curious what all it covers and how many snap posts I will have to install to secure it.
Thanks
I'll try to take a picture today, basically it has 5 snaps. One in front of the compass, 2 on each side of the console, and secures with velcro around the steering column. It covers everything on the port side down to the radio and on the starboard side over the trailer trim switch, up to, but not covering the throttle. My electronics are surface mounted behind the steering wheel, so the cover works well with them. I imagine some installs could cause an issue and require a custom cover.
