Anyone experiencing frequent breakage with the help switches for lights, acc, etc.?
2007 260 Sundancer. Four have broken. All at the thread. My guess is the heat/sun exposure weakens the plastic.
Any ideas on how to keep this from happening, or changing all the switches to something more...
Is there more than one beach at Boca Chita? I've visited twice and both times have gone to the beach due east of the harbor. If you look at Boca Chita in Google Maps, it's basically a straight walk east from the harbor. The water is clear and the coral/stones not too bad, but you do need...
The hatch lift switch on my panel broke. The switch still operates, but it's now loose. The black thread broke in the middle.
The part from the Parts Manual is:
1757313 SWITCH, TOGGLE CHR W/BLU IND DPDT W/REV CIR
Before I call MM to inquire about a cost, could I simply use an On/Off...
On my last outing, my generator shut down while cruising at idle. The error code was UU, which is undervoltage (I believe at the source batteries). It sat for a while then I got LOC error code, which is loss of coolant (no leaks or actual loss).
I took the impeller out and one vane was...

I don't work for them, but I'm a BB user and was waiting for a tide app for the Blackberry OS. I was a long time user of Palm phones and one of my favorite apps was TideTool for the Palm. IMO, TideBerry is not up to par with TideTool yet, but it's a good start and...
I have a 2007 260 DA. On the fuel line from the tank to the engine, and also from the tank to the generator, there is a Parker Fuel Flow Valve. I believe this is normally closed, and opens when the ignition switch goes on. As far as I know it's working fine because I get fuel to the engine (and...

I may have access to a used trailer at a very good price. I don't know the specs yet, but that is what leads me to this post. How do I know what specs are correct for my size boat? How do you determine a match between boat and trailer?
Thanks,

Any suggestions for repair or replacement bow rail?
My boat is in dry storage and forklift operator bent the bow rail putting it back in the rack. Marina paying is not in question; but I want to research the cost and options before agreeing to work.
Local dealer is MarineMax. I have a call...
I did the mod today to be able to refill the filter myself. I cut the filter and used a "no-hub" to join.
My questions are:
* Does any active charcoal work? I got the one for aquariums at Wal-mart.
* Does the size of the charcoal pellet matter? The ones from the factory were small...
I had read about this feature, but had not tried it yet until this weekend.
From my 557, I was able to easily engage troll control for the engine and it works nicely. The max RPM on mine is 800, which is OK for some of the many no wake zones we have here in South Florida (in others I go up to...
Maybe others knew this, but I didn't. I thought you needed to press and hold the button in to start/stop the generator, but actually a single click will do. This is at least with my 2007 Kohler 5ECD-BBG. I'm sure it applies to other models/setups as well.

I have two round outlet grills that can be rotated, but not closed. The fwd one is OK, but the one in the mid cabin (right next to the AC unit) comes out too strong.
I have seen other grills (not sure what to call them) that can be adjusted for open/closed, similar to a car. They are round as...
On the bulkhead behind the gen, between the water tank and gen, there is a blue box. Mine's not labeled and I cannot tell what it does. Haven't looked at the wiring in detail, and in the mean time thought I ask here.

One argument for not installing the unit in the "designated" space left of the wheel... I now have about 20 random waypoints b/c my 1 year old loves pressing the buttons, in particular MOB. :smt013

Where is your antenna installed? Mine's in front of port side windshield. Is yours on the radar arch? Often times I get "linking" on the CMD4A and cannot receive Sirius signal. Trying to figure out if it's my boat's location (blockage from marina bldg) or the antenna placement.

The manual says this is dual voltage. Is this correct? If it is, how do you select which one to use? I have a cabin lights master DC switch.
Also, the manual says 10w max for 12v, and 25w for 110v. My spare bulb that came with the boat is 20w 12v.
What setup do others have (2005-2007...
