As a follow up, if the aft float breaker trips when you manually turn on your bilge pump, could be a bad float switch. I replaced mine and that did the trick. Replaced the pump while I was at it. Hopefully I don't need to go down there again for a while.

What I have is similar to the pic below, except I only have three red "buttons" labeled aft float, memory and main. When I get home, I'm going to do my best to pull the pump and see if something has jammed it up. Seems like the first step diagnosis, and likely the easiest resolution.

Excellent thoughts . . . I'll be investing in a test lamp shortly. Thanks

Sounds good . . . that's what I'll do . . . just wish Grady made the pump a little easier to get to. Time to become a contortionist. Thanks

So how does the head work on this thing? I know, dumb question. I have a 2004 257 w/ head inc. macerator. I can't seem to find the Y-valve. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Yep, engines are counter rotating. I’ll check the zinc trim tabs and pay better attention to my trim position. Thanks for your thoughts.

New to the forum and appreciate any insight on the following. Two weeks ago I acquired a 2004 257 Advance with twin 150s. This is my first time operating with twins (I previously had a Dusky 203 w/ a single 150 for the past seven years). On a few instances, as I've throttled up, the boat wants...
