I purchased a 1998 Ventura 18'a couple of months ago and it's been great to me up until now.
The past two trips that I've been out I've experienced the same two issues that I think might be combined.
1. After a day of use, starting the engine is difficult and it cuts off at any speed
2. After a day of use, the Power Trim either works or barely works.
I am wondering if it's possibly the solenoid or some part of the electric starter? I'm wondering for any tips to diagnose.
