    Steering went out today !

    My steering went out on me today but luckily I was able to coast into my dock and turn the wheel to maneuver but it was hard to steer . The alarm bell sounded. My question is does my boat have power steering ? Is there a steering fluid reservoir to check? Steering pin issue? Anyone have any...

    I’ll drive/propeller control not working on throttle

    So I’m guessing this is why my trim gauge on the dash isn’t working ? The gauge is for outdrive angle not for trim tabs angle ?

    Is closed cooling system the same as freshwater cooling system?

    I have a new MerCruiser Plus 357 bravo 4V engine on my boat and they installed a closed cooling system with heat exchanger. My question is is that the same thing as a freshwater cooling system?

    I’ll drive/propeller control not working on throttle

    I tried to raise my outdrive/propeller out of the water the other day on my Sundancer 250 and the switch on the throttle is not working.

    Water leak in the bilge on my 250 Sundancer

    I turned the water system switch on the other day and heard a hum from the bilge . I got down in the engine compartment and saw 6” of water in the bilge after what was about 5 minutes ! Water was squirting out of one of the blue water line hoses but I couldn’t see where it was coming from...

    Pressure regulator has possibly sprung a leak on 250 Sundancer

    I think the water pressure regulator is what flooded my bilge compartment today, I heard a whirring sound coming out of the bilge when I turned the water supply on . At first I thought it was the swim platform sprayer but upon inspection it wasn’t. However one of the blue water hoses above the...

    Why don’t my cockpit and navigation lights work ?

    So, are you talking about the panel switches on the dash ? How do you get to those connections to clean them? Aren’t they up above the fuses under the dash ? I think I need to take all fuses out to get to them, so I might as well change all fuses while I’m at it .

    Why don’t my cockpit and navigation lights work ?

    Are most of the dc fuses 15 amp ? I’m not on the boat now and am going shopping
