Forn,
I doubt you'll find one, even though we have a growing membership of 290 owners.  Typically, on a boat such as the 290, you find that most of the hosing, water lines, electrical, etc., are run underneath countertops, behind cabinetry, secured up under V-berths, behind refrigerators, that sort of thing.  I used to do all the electrical and plumbing in the cabin boats at Stamas, that's how we did ours.  Proline's were very similar...

So, if you have a hose that you can see in one compartment, but disappears into the next, figure out what is keeping you from seeing it, and see if that "thing" is removable.  Lot of fun, huh? :shock:

Nature of the beast, Bart...

BTW, don't think the IMG code will work on a pic directly from your computer.  I use Photobucket to upload and post...

I have an 88 I've been getting familiar with...let me know if you get stumped...I'll see if I know or can figure it out.

What's your cruise rpm/speed and prop specs if you know em? Trying to get my props dialed in.

I have an 88 also. You will have no problem figuring out where they go. Ask and i will help out any way i can.

Here some numbers for you salt 17 x17 props 3/4 gas with all my gear.

3000rpm - 15mph @ 20 gal per hour
3400rpm - 18mph @ 24 gal per hour
4100rpm - 24mp @ 48 gal per hour
(speed by gps, gph by floscan)

I topped out at 4100, the book says 43 to 46 so i think it is popped right. I am going to go to 4 blades next year.
