  5. Michaeldm426
    My wife and I recently bought a 1995 Monterey 256 Cruiser as a project boat. I am working on trying to get the electrical hooked up before I start working on the motor. Currently, I am working on the dash. I get power to the ignition (key) switch from an orange wire (connected to “B” on the back). However, I am also reading that I get power to “S” (purple wire) and “I” (yellow wire with red stripe) even when the key is in the off position. Is this a sign that the ignition switch is bad? And In addition to that, none of the switches (blower, horn, etc) seem to be getting power, nor any of the gauges. What do I need to look for to fix this issue? I also have checked and I get power to the 12v DC panel in the cabin. I have checked for fuses around the motor (I can only find a 40 amp in a wiring harness on the motor), and inside the dash. So far I haven’t found any blown fuses.

    I had this same issue with a small leak into the after cabin. The AC water tray was way too high. Bilge worked. After removing the lower AC drain line off the bilge below I noticed it was filled with rust and debris. Shop vac from the lower end and done it was fixed. My access panel was under the stairs.

  12. Andy McGrath started following Loosening throttle control gear cables
  13. Andy McGrath
    Hi I have recently purchased a 302, 2006 version. The previous owner recently installed a new Seastar throttle and gear shift. The gear shift is far too stiff. A friend of mine indicates to loosen the gear shift the boat is going to need to come out of the water. I am not sure that this is correct? The engines are twin Volvo Penta 5.7L V8 OSI petrol engines with outdrives. The question is can the gear level cables be slackened without removing the boat from the water? Many thanks for your help. Cheers Andy.

    You can get the 25 qt cooler at Walmart and it does fit.

  23. tdy
    I am tracking down an electrical problem with 2013 288SS (Mercruiser 8.2 Mag ECT DTS). Does anyone know where the Ignition Terminal Block (E30TB3) from the Hull Harness (attached pic) is physically mounted in the boat?
  24. Kevin bernat
    That looks great!

    I added custom SeaDek to our M65 swim platform with boat name. Our boat is Seafoam green over white. I color matched the SeaDek to the Seafoam trim and charcoal interior vinyl seats.

  27. Thinepa started following Aiming to remove steering slop in 2001 262Cr
  28. Thinepa
    I bought a 2001 262Cr in pretty good shape this spring, and I notice that the steering wheel has quite a bit of slop in it (about 15-20deg). When I manually move the lower unit to port or stern, it seems to be fairly tight (makes me think the steering gimbal should be fine), but I’d really like to tighten up the steering at the helm. It looks like a teleflex system. I’m just not sure how to take the play out of it, or if that’s even a possibility. Thanks!

    Just purchased a 2013 340 SY. Does anybody know what the rocker switch function is for the switch on right side of dash, just left of the horn switch? It has a green LED below it that turns on when switch is depressed. The label is rubbed off so not sure what it does when depressed? Thanks

    M45 handling chop

    Brian M. posted a topic in M Series

    Hello, I am looking to buy an M45. I do most of my boating in the Chesapeake Bay, rivers and tributaries often the bay has 1 to 2 foot chop. Can anyone let me know how the M45 performs in rough water

    Hello i have a 2015 295SY that has a Raymarine vhf radio. When I picked up my boat from winter storage this season I found the handset cord disconnected from the port at the helm. I tried connecting it and realized the plastic around the port was broken so it will not stay connected if I try to plug in the handset. The winter storage guy did not claim responsibility and I needed to get going so i took it to my home port and tried to find the replacement part online. I ordered a new vhf extension cable from west marine but found it did not fit my handset plug so I returned it. Hoping someone here can advise me on the exact part I need to purchase to fix this. Thanks in advance. Here is a pic of the port that’s broken and the handset.

    Jim: I have not been able to find or clear the drain hose. My latest theory is that the hose passed through the fuel tank cavity and the fuel tank may have moved and pinched it. So i disconnected the hose at the step down through hull drain and allow the water to drain into the FWD Bilge/ head sump compartment. The New fwd bilge pump I installed pumps the water out. the area gets mostly soapy wash water when cleaning the deck and that seems to keep the fwd bilge area clean. I cannot add a through hull as I would not have any access to the inside of the hull to connect a hose to the through hull. Seams to be working well so far.

    Looking for parts availability for 340 SY. In particular, the rear transom door and sun hatch lift rods. Wondering if there's an aftermarket outlet that carries Monterey parts.
  34. BobM2004
    Fonally Finally, the a/c also drains into the same bilge area. If the a/c unit itself overflows its tray, it drains from underneath the main berth at the bow into the shower tank, which is why you should always have the shower sunp punp running if the a/c is on. If that isn’t working, the shower sump would overflow and drain into that area as well.

    I have a 2005 Montura 228si, and when I replaced the out drive assembly I lost the engine number, and the plate near the starter is too crusty to read. Does Monterey have the ability to provide a build sheet based on hull number? Thanks Doug
  36. BobM2004
    The fresh water tank is directly underneath there. Also. The center bilge for the shower also runs under there. You may want to check the bilge - if it’s like my 2004, the access panel is just outside the door to the head. There should be a bilge pump and shower box in there. Make sure it’s draining properly. Hope that helps.

    Hey CannonBall. I have a 2005 298 SS (bowrider) that has an enclosed head on the starboard side of the boat with a "step down well" when you step into the enclosed head. There is a drain in the floor for water from the shower. I employed all three of your methods to clear the drain without any success. I even used a shop-vac to try and suck out any debris that might be lodged in the hose and or pipe. No luck, it is still clogged. Did you ever come up with a solution to clear that line? I am wondering if there is a ball-cock valve installed somewhere that is closed? Thanks for taking the time to read my inquiry. Looking forward to your reply. Regards, Jim C.

    I believe I’m about to embark on a project to replace the tracks and runners for the sliding cabin door on my 01 262, as I have always needed to lift the door with one hand and open or close it with the other, and the bottom track seems to be lifting from its seat. That said, I’d love to be able to purchase the correct track and runners (delrin ball or truck style) for this project. Has anyone had to replace these and if so, can you tell me the correct replacement parts? I called Monterey on this already and they don’t have those specific details from that far back.

    I own a 1995 225scr Cuddy and am wondering what the passenger capacity and weight limits are. Can't find any information or owners manuals on the internet. Thanks for any help!

    Looking to purchase a 2013 Monterey 340 SY with Merc 350's/DTS. It has axius B3's but no autopilot/skyhook pad. Is it technically feasible to add this onto the existing axius system? Has anyone added this part (8M0047830 AUTOPILOT PAD) and if so, appx cost (parts and install)?

    Does anyone have any recommendations on an after market swim platforms? thanks
