In the plumbing dept.Interesting! Definitely would be nice to be able to see if anything is stuck in there. I'll go tomorrow and look at some.

The hose runs to a plastic sea tech connector underneath the wet bar. You have to crawl into the closet space the connection is in the upper aft corner closest to the gunwale.Does anyone know how to get at the cockpit sink faucet to replace it. Seems impossible to get to. Thanks
Hi gents and gals!
I have a 2005 280 with twin 5.0 mpi b3 with SS props. I’m wondering what rpm and mph are you guys seeing it WOT with the drives tucked in all the way. I’m getting around 4100-4200 rpm and 34knots with the drives tucked in all the way. I had half a tank with 4 adults. Just an FYI, I did plugs, wires, distributors and rotors plus new fuel coolers. I’m I missing something? It seems that these boats should be getting around 45-50 mph. I wonder why is it not getting 4800-5000 rpm and 45-50 mph. Thank You!
I had a similar issue and changed the props to a lower pitch and it made a big difference
You may be new to owning/running boats with drives that you can control, but to get your top speed you have to trim up. Tucked all the way in keeps too much hull in the water. As Scofflaw said, then you will get the proper speed and RPM.Hi gents and gals!

I went to 22 pitch and get around 4800 almost tp 5000 with it trimmed all the way inInteresting! Is your set up the same as my 5.0 mpi with b3 drives turning 24pitch props? What pitch did you go to? What mph and rpm are you seeing now?
I just installed that horn, based on your recommendation. Definite upgrade from the game show buzzer.....Absolutely! I couldn’t be happier with the sound. I am thinking of making a canvas cover for it though b/c I’m not sure how it will handle the elements in the long term. I just replaced my cockpit cover so I now have plenty of material to make custom covers for any topside equipment I want to protect.
Don't know about the throttle question. But I have Vessel view mobile. My gauges are not very good. So I bought a 10 inch android tablet and I display vvm on it, and I like it. I don't miss my gauges at all.Is it possible to retrofit Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) onto a boat with throttle cables? I'm in the process of buying an '04 280DA with 4.3MPIs, and just curious if this is possible. It's not a dealbreaker or anything. My guess would be no.
Also, has anyone added the MercMonitor or VesselView Mobile to their boat? If so, how do you generally use it and was it worth the expense to you?

I just took delivery of my new (to me) 2011 280 Sundancer. The carpeting in the cockpit area is old and looking a little rough. A friend suggested I might look at some of the fake teak looking stick-down flooring. I think it has some give or padding to it.
Has anyone here used this? If so, what are your thoughts?
