    Only one trim tab working?

    Good to know... I ordered the correct one. Installed it and everything is back to normal! Unbelievably easy to do.

    Only one trim tab working?

    It turns out to be a bad green solenoid after the tests. I am looking online and I see two bennett solenoids. One is 24V and one is 12V. There is no indication which one I have. Do you happen to know what voltage I should get? Its the original 96' solenoid.

    Yes from what I can tell after much research I'm thinking it is the green solenoid. I will be checking it tomorrow.

    Only one trim tab working?

    Thank you for the help in advance. I have only one trim tab working. When I hit the lever for the non-working trim tab, I hear the trim motor working which means this is not an electrical issue ( I don't think). It sounds the exact same as when I hit the lever for the working trim tab but does...

    Random Aux Power Cord???

    Thank you in advance for any help. I took my boat out yesterday and realized there was a random cord hanging down under my steering helm. It was connected to the circuit breaker AUX POWER setting... From what I can tell, everything on my boat is working. All the power switches, lights, ect...

    Trailer Winch strap Orientation on 208 Adventurer?

    Good to know. First boat with not a lot of experience in these types of things so I appreciate the input. Crazily enough, the original owner didn't even have a chain on it. He was just relying off the old winch and strap. I just put this chain and carabiner on when I got it. What type of hook...

    Trailer Winch strap Orientation on 208 Adventurer?

    UPDATE: I took off the winch, after 24 years there was quite a bit of rust and deterioration. Instead of cleaning it up with rust remover I just bought a brand new winch. I raised my pacific trailer two inches, and reversed the strap. I feel this is in a much better, straight position now. The...

    Trailer Winch strap Orientation on 208 Adventurer?

    That makes sense and something I was worrying about. Last thing I want to do is have a loose wrap and then driving to the launch ramp the boat starts slipping because of the slack. I will try to keep it as tightly wrapped as I possibly can. May even drive it around the block a couple of times...

    Trailer Winch strap Orientation on 208 Adventurer?

    Just to clarify, please see attached photo. If I just wrap the strap opposite direction it would be a much more straight line to the eye loop. Would this be the best option?

    Trailer Winch strap Orientation on 208 Adventurer?

    Thank you for the input. Instead of raising the stand, cant I just re-wrap the strap so it pulls from the top side of the winch gear?

    Trailer Winch strap Orientation on 208 Adventurer?

    New owner of 1996 Adventurer. Purchased the boat and the winch strap is coming from the underside of the winch. To me, it seems it would be in a better position if the strap came from the top side of the winch. Can anybody shed some light if this orientation is correct? If it is not correct, do...

    New Boater/ Fuel Gauge broken... How many hours/miles can you get on a full tank of gas?

    Thanks for the info.... Yes I just saw that your information does show the model, make and HP. My mistake. I am new to this thread as well as to boating. BTW we figured out the problem. It was the gauge. Very strange that the gauge speedometer and everything else worked, however for some reason...
