Thanks for the input. I'll try each of these. Just for more information, one, it does look like the pump pictured with a filter that screws on and off. I've not tried taking the filter off. When I turn the pump switch on it runds for a while, maybe a minute or two, and then shuts off...

The water pump for the sinks and swim platform hose on my sea ray appears to be having some issues building up pressure. It was suggested that the Impellars (sp?) have and or seals may have dried out, or worn out and they need to be replaced. One, is this something that I can do my self...

Yes, It's a Carling Switch. two posts on the top, one on the side, and one on the bottom. I checked out the other switches in the panel. They all had the solid black line to the top post, the colored line with a stripe to the middle post, and the other to the bottom. I did that, fired...

I have a lighted water pump switch that broke. Number 0623 R. The replacement i got from the SR Dealer was 1102 R. The primary issue is the old one has three tabs on the back and the new one has 4. I've checked the wiring schematic and can't determine which ones to hook up to which...

Not sure what your dash looks like, but I have a 260 Sundeck, and I wanted to have my Lowrance mounted in the dash instead of on top of it. I called a local company that installs avionics in planes and they cut me a dash from 1/4 inch aluminum, just a sheet they had lying around from a plane...

I'm having an issue with my 260 Sun Deck. I've noticed that the Rear storage compartment is not draining into the bilge, or is draining extemely slow. Has anyone else has this issue. I've tried to run a wire trough the drain hole, but keep hitting a barrier. Didn't want to mess with...

I am having a custom dash made so my HDS 7 can be a face mount in the dash of my 260 Sundeck. The dealer originally installed on top of the dash and it severely reduced line of site and was a significant theft threat while in transient slips. The dealer also didn't link the Lowrance to any...

Dennis, Thanks for the quick response. Yes, i want to use the Bimini as the base and have everything come off of it. I haven't had it up this year yet, but I do believe the Bimini has zippers attached already. So your thought is to go with the Visor, Curtains, aft and side.

Looking to get some sort of an enclosure for our Sundeck, and don't really know what's the best option. Want something that can hook onto our Bimini and give us total protection in the event of rain, and have found both a camper top, and also the side curtains. I'm looking for someone with a...

I'm investigating chart plotters and I've seen a lot of posts out here regarding Garmins. The previous owner had the boat set up with a Lowrance which he took, so I had been looking at a Lowrance HDS 5 or HDS 7 (Chart plotter only, not the fish finder combo). Just checking to see if anyone out...

Hello, Prepping for a summer trip. Going to be trailoring the boat to the Mississippi River, Pere Marquette State Park outside of Grafton IL to be exact, and have been trying to find information regarding the Wing Dams in and around that area. Any body boat that area and have any insight? A...

Hello, The kids would like to wake board this summer, and I am looking for ways to increase the height of our tow eyelet without putting in a tower. Somebody mentioned a Ski Pylon that is mounted on the rear of the boat. Our local dealer said they could mount one, but I wanted to get some...

Thanks, I will definetly be doing that. Also, thanks for the Yacht World link. I may be making a trip to Ohio now. Finding this web site has been great. KJ De Pere, WI Boat to be determined.

Thanks, that eases my mind quite a bit. If you don't mind answering another question I have regarding good estimates on price. I've looked at some other theads, and looks like the NADA is what most people recommend. Have you heard that is a good source? I ask as there seems to be a...
