Re: Matworks duraweave ‘05 272.
I really like the idea of the ability to remove the decking for various reasons. This seems like it would work well for someone taking their boat ouI of the water after use and storing in a dry environment. That said, have high suspicion that if the Matworks deck (and under the decking) was wet when...

Re: Lower Unit Shakes When Turning
My experience is that in a moderate to high speed turn with the outdrive trimmed up to cruising speed level, you can experience some cavitation. However, this does not indicate a problem with the mechanics of the boat.

Re: 263 Boat Fire !!
Glad everyone is OK. I would think the trailer would be in the 5-7K range, or half the cost of a new one. I've been looking for a year and almost every Cobalt trailer I've found that has been sold us under $5K in very good to excellent condition. Biggest problem selling them is the color and the we...

Re: Bilge pump blues
Image 9-9-23 at 3.50 PM.jpeg IMG_1426.jpeg Before and after "some" bilge cleaning with the old BP. After I cut power to the BP, I'm gonna put some legit bilge cleaning solution in the bilge, add water, and drive around the lake a bit to slosh and hopefully displace some gunk. Post slosh I...

Re: Bilge pump blues
I can always count on titaniumboy - thanks for the feedback. After reading more online reviews and watching a couple YouTube videos, I've determined that, in my opinion, a bilge pump that is not submersible, is a problem waiting to happen. Ordered a Rule LP900S "LoPro" BP. Will post before...

Bilge pump blues
Bilge pump (Sahara Mk2) is a year old and was installed by the service center at the marina where I bought the boat. My understanding is that the BP has a hot electrical connection even with the batteries turned off and the BP should run when the float rises due to water in the bilge. True? My BP do...

Re: beep chart
Is my question out in left field? I assume if there are beeps pre-start there must be other beep(s) sequence(s) for other reasons. Anybody have a resource identifying what different beeps mean?

beep chart
After an exhaustive search I've come up empty. When I turn the key from off to run (prior to starting) on my 2007 240 5.7Gxi I hear 3 beeps. Then starts normally and runs perfectly. Since the boat had a full survey and no problems found I have just enjoyed getting to know the boat and how she operat...

Re: Opinions on 232's?- Looking at clean 2009 model
I didn't see it mentioned...a survey from a qualified mechanic will keep you from buying a problem boat. It will also give you some leverage on price should they find something needing attention. Lastly, a sea trial is a must. If possible, take a buddy who owns a similar boat (length, in/out drive)....

Re: factory transom light switch?
tried all the switches and none of the three transom lights illuminate. I'll have to look under the dash to see if there is a loose or disconnected wire.

Re: factory transom light switch?
2008 272, have replaced every bulb not located in dash-lights with LEDs, except for the 3 transom lights. They go on/off with the interior lights. I'll have to try mine again and check all three to see if I have any working with the interior lights. When I checked, I only pulled the cover off enoug...

Re: factory transom light switch?
Lol...what Titaniumboy said. Only white interior lights on the 240.
