Hoping the acquired wisdom here can help me out.
Currently have twin 2013 Suzuki 250s. Per the manual, troll mode should work on both engines. However, it only works on the port.
Any ideas where to even start the trouble shooting?
Love using it, especially with newbies (1 beep up!)
thanks

Can anyone recommend a good book that will help me understand how it works and how to fix it?

The story starts with my wash down pump not working on my new to me boat. Jabsco 60 psi.
online search.
Probably pressure switch.
Remove pump.
pump runs when switch bypassed.
replace switch.
now runs when connected to separate 12V battery. I think I’m a hero!
wire pump back into boat...

Hi folks,
Have a boat that I'm going to buy in Nanaimo if engines pass inspection. Twin 2013 Suzuki 250s. I would like to get them checked out by a mechanic in that area. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi all,
In my constant search for the next boat, the Pursuit 255 OS checks many of my boxes. Currently have a Trophy 2002 WA, which I love, but am always looking to upgrade.
Any firsthand experiences with the pursuit 255 OS out there?
Thanks!
