Do you mean "just don't trim them too high" with the trailer up button, or when I change them out?
I think what he meant was not to accidently run the boat with the drive trimmed higher than where it would normally stop (prior to engaging trailer feature). Running the boat with the drive too high can damage the internal gears. The trim limit switch usually stops you from going past the danger point, but since you are using the trailer feature to raise the drive, you may unintentionally go past where the trim limit would kicks in and stop you. It can be an expensive mistake.
Got it, thanks. I'm beginning to think it's a switch issue at the throttle. I'm praying it's not a sensor issue on the outdrives.............again both at the same time?
In my limited experience, the trim sender on the outdrive goes bad more often than the switch at the helm. Thankfully they are on the outside of the outdrive where they are more "easily" accessible.
First, I don't believe the 280 is a yacht. I believe they start in the 31 foot area. And second, there's limits on all boats, vehicles, cars, trucks, and planes.
Think I found the placard for the 280, limit to 10 people, but not sure of the year.
I think different engine mounts might solve this?
Yacht certification starts at 5GT, not length. I would agree nobody would call a 280DA a yacht but for USCG purposes it qualifies.
Guys,
In this context the term "yacht" is used as a technical classification and not a market description. It comes down to different regulatory requirements for yachts than boats. Most of this is stuff you don't see such as the construction methods and safety factors. Although I believe the living space design, galley, head, sleeping areas etc are more defined under the yacht rules than boat rules. The most visible thing the consumer sees is that a yacht does not have the same ID plate as a boat. Boats have plates that list maximum number of people and gear and Max horsepower. Yachts don't have this.
Boat builders have to decide at what point their product will be built to boat standards and at what point they transition to yacht standards. The 280 is at the lower end of the scale. I'm not sure where Sea Ray Drew the line between boat and yacht. The 280 is certainly classified as a yacht, whether the 240-270s are I don't know.

My 260 does not have the ID plate that you speak of.
