I agree, thats why i had the boat weighed a second time on the way back. This time the holding tank was approx 3/4 full, had 15 gallons more gas, no water, and all the equipment and supplies we brought along. The added fuel and holding tank i figure was more than or equal to the the alcohol...

I have actually done that before, but I think all I did was seal the water in more. What happened next was that one of the bimini mounts pulled right out of the glass. I let it all dry again, and re-set the bimini mount with epoxy, so they won't come out easily. i need to figure out how the...

I read this thread right before trailering my 260DA on a 400 mile round trip to key largo and back, and you all scared me to death. I rented a 10,000 lbs trailer before seeing this thread and I thought it was not going to be enough. So the first thing I did on loading up was to bring the boat...

I have a 2006 260DA that has a light colored red water drip leaking from the button snap holes in the very back of the boat. it happens on both sides, and seems to be standing water that has filled up inside of the fiberglass. Has anyone else had this? Will this water degrade the Fiberglass?

There have been a few issues with these generators that I think everyone should expect to deal with at some time. When speaking to my service person, he has had to make these changes on quite a few. 1) Your LOC most likely could be caused by the "older version" of the exhaust. I had this...

If you want to go to beaches on the north shore by boat, then you can't get any better than this area. This area being IPSWICH BAY. What makes it all great is that you can choose on any given day 4-5 different beaches by boat, all less than 10 mintutes apart by boat. So if the wind is comming...

Weave, My wife and I trailored our F-16 jet boat for about 8 years in the North Shore, we lived in down town Newburyport. There is a very nice boat ramp right down town on merrimack street, behind a huge renovated brick building, you can't miss it. Very busy ramp though, so get there early...

Nehalennia: I agree, I have the transom mounted transducer and it is great to know the sea temperature, and also, I find that the miles per hour wheel is more accurate at slow speeds than the standard spedo in the dash. markr113: Have you looked into getting a Raymarine C-70? It fits...

where do you get the navatronics reader? can you buy it at west marine or boaters world? or do you have to get it online?

Perhaps it was a bit to late the other night when I wrote about my service techniques, let me try to clarify, but keep in mind, it appears to be late in the evening again as I write. First, for the engine oil, when the drain plug to the boat is pulled out, that is where I find the wire that...

Dave S, For you this is probably enough. However, I have 2 factors that make me want to do it myself. First, my manual says "if the boat is operated at idle for prolonged periods of time, coupler should be lubricated every 50 hours for bravo models" Since I live on a canal system that...

I have a 6.2L MPI with Bravo III I try and take pictures the next time I do some maintenance. A few things though. Removing the props - I purchased a dual sided prop wrench from "The Properthing" http://www.properthing.com/models.html You'll see the model Model #B-3 Duel - $58.59...

Ok, What you have done at 50 hours, and especially your first 50 hours, depends on one major thing. Is the boat being brought to them in water? If so, will they charge you a haul out fee? Make sure this is clear, because they won't tell you about the haul out fee until after. If you are...

For what its worth, I have that same noise on my 260 Sundancer. You could not have described it better, it is quite a noise. it sounds like the boat is splitting in two. My sound comes from the windsheild area under the dash board. I've narowed it down to one of two things, under the dash...

You also might want to look into Fort Myers/Cape Coral. With a boat your size you could easily get to the Keys with one stop in Marco Island, and if you wanted to go to the East Coast once a year, the intercoastal goes straight through the state of Fl via the Caloosahatchee river and Lake...

I had significant problems with my '06 generator. Kohler changed the generator for this model year, and there have been 2 major problems, and I suffered from both, as i already have over 150 hours on my genset. MAKE SURE YOU READ FOR THE ERROR CODE ON THE CONTROLLER DISPLAY. First, I...

i don't know if anyone brought this up, but after looking at the trailer i would definately have that looked at to make sure it is the right size. It is an aftermarket one, and usualy if it came with the boat originally it would say Searay all over it. I bought mine without a trailer...

RjVA, I do take off the "mid" bimini and stow it below because i don't want it to fade since the other two are wrapped up. it would look funny if they were different colors, and yes that can happen in 1 season here in Florida. Thanks for the tip, please do post a picture if you can, i will...

Cockpit Cover Dave S & RjVA, my boat came with the Camper Cavas, and did not come with the cockpit cover so i had to get that after the fact. So it was a custom job. Here are some pictures with the cover on.

Here are some more pictures. I have actually see some 320 DAs and even 340 DAs with this same arch modification. That is why I built my dock to hold a 340 DA. You never know after all what that next boat may be.
