Go to the Facebook Doral forum if you have not found already, the forums seem to be dead. However I preferred them alot more, much easier to find info as threads were specific. Enjoy your 250SE, had one now have a 360SE
Looking for some feedback on 01 360SE Norcold fridge having turned off . Currently taking care of a boat that we have been given the use of for summer. May have opportunity to purchase.
Over weekend on Sunday was cleaning inside galley, used central vaccum which I think may have tripped a...
Looking for some feedback. Had a neutra salt system installed in my Doral 250SE 6 years ago and recently I noticed that the solution level was not dropping in the reservoir tank upon activating the switch when docking to flush the manifolds and risers since system is half cooled, block only.

Hey guys,
Looking for some feedback. My power steering fluid reservoir was low, had not checked in a long time. Purchased and added Volvo fluid up to fill cold line. Took boat out, excessive whine when turning counter clockwise. At idle turned steering wheel counter clockwise and wheel shuddered...
So wife and I have been discussing going bigger to be able to get away for longer periods and also bring our teenager and g/f on 2-3 nights as well as day trips. Boat would be permanently in the salt as our 250SE has been going into 5th year. An opportunity has presented itself to trade towards...
[looking at an] older thread (http://forums.iboats.com/forum/owners-groups-by-manufacturer/d-l/doral-boats/554394-2000-doral-250-se-problem-getting-on-plane) but my question is on original topic. Just had my boat go through a large service, new risers and manifolds, coolant flush, fuel...
Recently purchased new Barr manifolds and riser kit complete w gaskets and bolts. Plan to use the Volvo oem riser gasket and the included Barr Manifold gasket.
The riser mating surface has a coat of paint on it and i assume one wants to remove the paint using acetone rather than sanding or...
I am trying to find the correct gap for plug for my 1998 5.7GS duo prop in a 2000 Doral 250SE. Dealer has quoted me NGK BR6FS which I believe are correct but their price is insane for 8 plugs and I am seeing them online at 1.88/per from where I grab my boating parts.
If I have to gap them no...

Wiring is all there for windlass w the switch at helm. I am looking for a current windlass model that is simple bolt on to replace the original factory units. Can anyone point out what were the original makes/models for the 250's that came w windlass? Links and feedback is appreciated.
Mounting bracket on 2 of my window porthole frames that allow the lexan/plexiglass window to be tilted up for airflow have broken. Does anyone have a part number or know where one can source out replacement frames. The windows are secured by 3 swing type mounts, one on each side and one at...

Looking for the replacement part numbers so I can start collecting manifolds and risers for my 2000 250SE. I reside in Canada BC West Coast, can not access the Volvo Penta online store due to region.
When replacing the manifolds and risers what else should one consider. I do not yet need to do...
I am interested in looking at putting a windlass on my 2000 250SE? Wondering what may be a recommended model that makes installation relatively painless. I see wiring is present already to add this feature

When replacing the manifolds and risers what else should one consider. I do not yet need to do mine but I am thinking to do over the winter or spring 2016. However I would like to start...
Looking for some feedback. My cabinet door in my 2000 250SE gally directly below my sink has permanently locked shut and I can not open. I have looked at options and it appears the only way is to pry sink basin lip loose from counter top and reach my arm in to release the latch. I am guessing...

We are out on the hook here in BC and my water tank is full. pump seems to be operating but no fresh water coming through at taps, stream starts but then basically tapers off to nothing. I am assuming filter screen may have blockage.
