This has happened 3 times now. It seems when I’m running a big load down below (stereo, head, water pressure, lav accessories) all DC accessories shut down. I still have all DC power and accessories at the helm. After some time once it took hours once just a few seconds the power comes back on. Is there an overload happening? Do I have a bad breaker in the panel? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hey guys, I am new to the forum. I am reaching out because I need to trailer my Coastal 290 to my shop about 6 miles. It is very difficult to find a good used boat trailer. I came across a tandem axle trailer that has a gross weight of 11,000lbs that fit a 31' center console. Has anyone used a tandem vs a triple axle trailer on their Coastal? Had any problems? The tandem would save me some $$ that I can put into new outboards! I appreciate your help!

Winter project done!

I am looking for any info on the 1985 2900 Express Cruiser. Looks like it was short lived model. Wellcraft does not have manuals on it.

Good Day to all. I'm looking at a 210 Fisherman to buy and I would like some opinions as to the good, not so god and etc... The boat is a 2004 with a Mercury Optimax 150 w/ about 30 hours on the motor. any info is appreciated.

The A/C on my 1987 Gran Sport stopped working. I'm trying to located the water pump. Its not pumping water or doing anything else. Looking at the unit, I can see the discharge hose and probably where it goes to the thru hull. I can see the intake line but it goes toward the head and I can't seem to trace it down from there. Any idea where this thing is located? What else can I do to troubleshoot the unit?

Hello. Where can I find a wiring schematic for a 27ft 1996 wellcraft se ? Whoever had the boat before me had put a new engine in it and rigged all the wiring. I have a bunch of wires that were cut and now I’m having a lot of issues

Hi everyone. I am the proud owner of a new to me 2013 Wellcraft fisherman 252. I found this blog while I was searching the net for help.
I purchased the boat in Florida and sent it to Houston. As a typical male, I did not ask questions; and now I do not understand the electrical battery swithches and the dealer is no longer interested in helping me.
The boat came with 3 batteries, 2 engines and 2 battery switches. The first one is just on and off. The second is Off, 1, 1+2 and 2. I do not understand how it works. I know that normal is to operate the boat normally in 1 or 2 and if the batteries are low or the engines have difficulties in starting, use 1+2. I do not know the function of the fist on/off switch and how the third battery is connected. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I also have a couple of questions as the boat seems odd. One is the bilge compartiment. It is large and have plenty of space; but the access behind the rear seat is not large enough to get inside; and since the compartment is too large, I cannot reach all the components from the outside. How do you work in there. Do you need to find a small person to get in the bilge?

The other area is the battery compartment inside the center console. It is located below the front seat so you do not get to see the connections as the batteries are below the seat. Do you have to get the batteries out to charge them or does the panel where the battery switch are? Again, any info on the subject will be greatly appreciated.
In a year I will know everything on the boat; but know I am totally ignorant.
