Not 100% sure but I think your engine has the MEFI-4 ECM and you could also use the Fox Marine MEFI-4 engine gateway in the above link. This is the same manufacturer i used on mine and have been really happy with. you need ...

It should do like a 1/4 turn clockwise when you push it down to lock in the down position. If it's not turning the Corrosion X will fix it.

Re: Replacement gas cap for 2007 232?

I had good luck refurbishing my pop up caps by spraying down/filling the pop up mechanism with Corrosion X and working that in. I let them sit upside down and let the excess run out and they work perfectly now. There really is no real good way to deal with the broken cables, I did find some ...

Re: New boat buyer here....lots of questions....



Appreciate the information. We will probably do some tubing, but that is probably about it.

Is there that much of a difference between the 350 and the 380? We will probably take a second look at it in the water and try it out. What specifically should we be aware of?

Thanks again.


That's ...

Re: 272 ladder replacement

Tic, I actually have a spare one of these complete ladder assemblies, where are you located at in Missouri? I I'm in STL and LOZ. I have the exact same ladder on my 323 and i found a new replacement one on Great Lakes Skipper a couple years ago. I bought it and replaced the old ladder off my boat so ...

Re: Best batteries in 2025?


Odyssey AGM is certainly a better battery, but I've been buying Interstate 27DC Marine/RV batteries from Costco simply because they're so much cheaper ($90). I have one that's 10 years old and one that's five years old right now, and I intend to replace the 10 year old one this year with a new one ...

Re: Shore power - 2008 302

If the inlet plug is the problem this one from Marino is a nice replacement. I put this on my boat when i swapped out from the one with the plastic cover.

Re: Shore power - 2008 302

You may be able to crawl into the engine compartment and see some of these connections from the backside without unscrewing them depending on the exact location and your willingness to crawl through the bilge to get there. The more i think about this i think the problem is between the shore power ...

Re: Shore power - 2008 302

yes , i think you have narrowed it down! Is this boat new to you, have you seen all of this work before? if there is no power to the switches in the load center than the problem is somewhere between the shore power inlet plug, the shore power inlet breaker or the load center. I think i would ...

Re: Shore power - 2008 302

The round breakers by the jumper studs is all DC breakers that's not it. The other one by the sink is what you want that would be the AC load center. If you flip those switches do you get a green light? if the switches are on and you don't get the green light try turning them off and then back on ...
