I have a Mercruiser 350 MPI on a 2007 260DA. Was coming into port last weekend and stalled as I entered no wake zone. Made it back to slip and thought nothing of it. This weekend she won’t start unless I give some gas in neutral and the she stalls again. Thinking it was IAC. Asked marina...

My depth finder stopped working this season. I had the boat pulled for another reason and looked on the bottom of hull. Took a picture but can’t figure out if clouding on the hull would prohibit transducer from working. Any ideas or experiences I can tap into?

My boat was recently commissioned (mid-May) and was supposed to have been painted with new zincs. The boat had to be taken out of the water last weekend due to a leaking hot water heater that filled the bilge because the bilge pump was not working and the engine hatch was not working. While...

I just had the distributor cap and water psi sensor replaced and the bottom power washed. Next time I take the boat out, the depth finder and water temp don't show up on the SmartCraft readings. Did a master reset but no help. The odd thing is the depth and water temp don't even show up on...

The engine was going into guardian mode with no alarms for what I thought was water pressure problem (0psi). Took it int mechanic who fixed water pressure and said guardian mode was caused by distributor cap problem and cylinders not firing. He said there was a Service Notice from Mercury about...

I am new to my 2007 260DA. I am getting alarms and cannot locate the problem. A member suggested checking sump pump. Just came back from boat and cannot locate the sump pump. The owners manual diagram is not very helpful. It shows the pump somewhere in middle of boat. Checked all flooring and...

I just started getting a very loud alarm on my 2007 260DA that goes on for about 30 seconds, then off . Happened yesterday just as we were leaving the channel and the day before in the channel. Turned around and went back to slip. Alarm is intermittent, goes off irregularly. All systems seem...

Got a new/used Sea Ray 260DA. Two batteries and shore power. What is the proper setting when connected to shore power and when cruising. I have seen different opinions. I am in salt water and concerned about outdrive corrosion. Thanks for the tips.

I just got a new/used Sea Ray 260 DA with windlass. There is no way off telling how much chain/line I have let down, so I am basically guessing how long to let the chain/line go down. Does anyone have any tips they have found helpful? Thanks!
