Hello again, and thanks again for your generosity! However, this steering wheel is stuck on and I don't want to force it off. Probably that's how the hub got buggered up in the first place--someone trying to get the wheel off. It all works fine so I'm going to let it be. I'll work on bending...
That's very kind of you. Mine only has 5 spokes so it may be quite different. I'll have to make some measurements when I'm out at the boat this weekend.
Hello! Does anyone know what is supposed to be covering the hub of this steering wheel (1994 Adventure). It looks like someone got mad and pried it off!
A trolling motor would definitely push the 208 in calm and protected areas; I've used them on heavier boats. The engine mount option would be handy but I've noticed that MinnKota has stopped making them!
There are a lot of switches that look compatible, but have to find out how to deal with 10 (yes ten!) leads from the current switch and what the wire codes mean. Newer switches have fewer wires.
Hello everyone! On my 1994 Adventure 20 the ignition switch has broken. The plastic threaded tube separated from the body of the switch, rendering it very awkward to use. (Have to hold the back of the switch while turning.) Does anyone know the correct replacement part for this? It seems to...
Thanks for your reply! I thought the wire was on the small side but it works ok and is original to the boat; I'm not going to add any accessories. The stock breaker is not great; there's no way to test and reset it. Will replace someday.....
Thanks! That's a good idea. I've just acquired this boat, which is a '94, so there are many things I'm sorting out and fixing here and there. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with this Adventure 20. The old Mercury 200 is still fine.
Yes, wiggling the fuses solved a few problems and I will clean them. I've never had this problem with boat fuses before, but this boat uses automotive style fuses.
Thanks for your reply! I checked the breaker with Ohm meter and it was OK; it showed 0 resistance. So then I fiddled with fuses under the dashboard and the thing came to life. Joy!
Hello everyone, my Adventure 20 electrical system is dead even though the batteries are OK. I'm thinking that the culprit is this 40 amp breaker (?) pictured. Any suggestions for replacement? I'm guessing the red button is a reset but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks,
Joe
I see. Fortunately, I do have the drop board. I'm going to order some plastic boards for the two center pieces and worry about cushions later. No one is going to sleep in this boat! Thanks for your reply.
Thanks! I was wondering if the center cushions originally included the boards or if the boards were a separate item.
Also on this boat, the gunwale pads are shot; I'm not sure these were a good idea, anyway. I may just figure out some way to cover the holes neatly when I remove them.
