Thanks. It was the clogged screen just below the pump.

On my 2010 sundeck 260, when i toggle the pump on I hear it. then switches off per usual. When I turn water on at sink or bow shower or aft shower, I get a quick burst of water, then lose all pressure to a trickle. It's like way too much pressure for a split second then a trickle. I know where...

I posted this originally under trailer and towing, so my apologies. More of a docking system question, so posting here. I purchased a place on the water and it has a rail system (like train tracks, with a cart that holds your boat. Its about a 20% incline up from water. Theory is the cart is...

I purchased a place on the water and it has a rail system (like train tracks, with a cart that holds your boat. Its about a 20% incline up from water. Theory is the cart is in water, drive boat up on to cart. Then electric winch pulls cart and boat up out of water. After inspecting the rail...

Thanks.

Boat is still in the barn too far away, but dreaming of getting in the water soon. I have a 2010 Sea ray DB with the OEM 350 MAG BR DTS MPI engine. Got to thinking about spring tune up. I'm going to put new plugs in and then i started thinking about timing. (Cylinders have been misfiring per...

Finally got the boat in the water. Weather has been crap here in Lake Ontario this Spring. I think we had more 60s and 70s in December than April..... New Signature 4x4 props work great. Much better handling around the docks. Less cavitation. At very low speed, less snaking left/right of...

Correct. All good tips. Current props aren't horrific, but certainly bent the tips a bit. I think I lost 100 RPM or less due to it, but of course amount of gas and weight on boat can impact as well. No vibration on the boat as is. Will have to weigh the cost of new vs repair of 3x3. I like...

Unfortunately the season is over in the North Lands so I haven't changed the props and will wait until next season or a sale on them. I've been tracking my WOT as well over past couple weeks. Last few times out had ~4700+/- RPM on the 3x3 24 pitch factory original props. Engine being WOT...

I see we have the same boat. Boat is new to me a couple months ago. Lot of fun to cruise around with. Only issue I had was a bad O2 sensor. Boat had low hours for a 2010, so me running it hard for a few days probably blew some gunk out of the engine. Simple fix. i think I'll give the...

Thanks again. Down to the cupped Mercury quicksilver 4x3 22.5p and the signature cupped 4x4 22p I've been chatting via email with Hill Marine and inquired about some vibration comments I read online. Amazing there isn't more information on the merc 4x3 and or the signature 4x4. Per Hill...

Thanks again for the information. The more I research the harder the decision. Polished, non polished, cupped, non cupped, pitch, brand etc. A mercruiser dealer suggest the Mercruiser Bravo 3s 4x3 set up with a 22.5 pitch. A quote of 1600+ just for the props. Crazy. I see them for about a...

Thanks for the information. I see there are also 4x4 props people have had great success with. It looks like many dropped a pitch size as well with them going from 24 to 22, 22 to 20, etc.

I have a 260 Sea Ray Deckboat and in the market for a new prop as I've discovered some new to me rock outcroppings....... Currently have the counter rotating Bravo III 48-823665 and 48-823666 24P prop on Drive serial number is OW987782 5441500TS Mercruiser Bravo 3 2.20:1 Each prop I have now...

I've been searching the internet for some seat covers (to be used while enjoying the boat, not storing) and having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. Essentially looking for a seat protector and one with pockets on side or back. Anyone use them?
