I experienced an unusual noise coming from the rear of the engine bay after I got on plane and started to trim the engine up a little bit. I continued for about 10 seconds before I brought it back to neutral and opened the bilge to check it out. The best way I know to describe the noise, is the...

Had my first major engine failure on the water today. 4 carefree seasons, and WHAM - The luck ran out today. Alright, here is the story. Last weekend, I took my 2006 Sea Ray Sundancer, 350 MAG, out for a slow boating cruise one night after dark. I never ran up on plane, but when out of the...

Alex - I really like the mount you've pictured above...You mentioned a retailer for a similar mount, "MM"....Who are they?

Thanks for the feed back...I did change the smartcraft setting so it doesn't pop up anymore...That makes it a little less anoying.

Has anyone with the smart craft set up had issues with the power trim reading bouncing around while running. My dealer says that the digital smart craft is a direct read out of the power trim gague and not tied independently to the power trim itself. That makes since, but the gague read out...

Yup, keep an eye on the water level, and only top off with distilled H20. Manual says before every use, but I go every 30 days during the season. Additionally, check your manual for the recommended time to leave the charger on. Although I can't recall the battery brand in my 260 at the...

Has anyone established a max passenger weight to use as a good benchmark they could share for the 260?

Does anyone have some pics of their optional cockpit TV on their sport crusier? The one that slides into place on the wet bar. I'm having some customer audio/video work done and I want mine to look just like the optional one that can be added when purchased new. It was not an option on the...

The bounty dive was a success! The piece of carpet was pulled down the marina during slack tide, and got caught up in some slats that section off the pylons under the restaurant and a section of floating dock. (About 50 feet from where it went in.) Cleaned it up tonight and it looks brand new...

Thanks for all the advise - Here is the plan - I'm going to see if the diver will go for a bounty dive. My offering will be of the "all or nothing" variety. $100 if he can locate and bring up. (He's down there all the time anyway, he should go for it.) If no luck there, I'll order from...

Yep, at the Station. I agree when it comes to the current. I did talk to the diver about keeping an eye out while he was down there. But my guess is unless there was something down there to hang it up, it could have driffed along way....Especially by now. I'll check out some of these sites...

Hate to admit that I allowed this to happen, but since I would like some feedback from my fellow Sea Ray owners, here goes - After about a year with my 260, I decided it was time to really clean the cockpit carpets. Pulled them out, hosed them down, and shampooed them. They came out great...

Mine has aluminum. Was broke when I took delivery. Didn't get fixed for 3 months because they didn't have the ability to do it at my marina. It was a pain in the a**. Finnally got it down to the dealer and they replaced. Said they have had multiple issues with '06 260 - 320's.

Yea Woody...You're going to have to help us out here. I'm not sure where else that money is comming from.

Great idea for storing the cockpit table and pole...In addition to the table storage, I never liked the designated spot for the pole...Good stuff...I'm going to have to relocate my bilge heater to do it on mine...Do you have a heater in yours? If so, where did you set it up at?

Paint went on today, putting her over on Friday...Have to get her to Dealer for some waranty work. (Cabin door and genny issues.) Should have back in the home slip the following Saterday!!

Yes, this area is one of the worst around for growth. My biggest problem last year was growth on my running gear. Thats why I'm going with the PropSpeed on the props and tabs.

The prime coat is recomended by Interlux. Not sure why. I thought it was kind of steep too. Some others around here are getting 2 years out of this stuff though, so it may be worth it. Time will tell.

I would be curious to hear what others are paying to have new bottom paint applied to their vessels. I'm off the James River (Lower Ches Bay) and this is what I'm shelling out to get my boat back in the water this week. January Haul out and dry store - $9/ft = $234 3 Months Dry Storage (no...

I would love to hear more about the teak cockpit table option...I asked about this in another thread, and nobody knew anything about it. Additionally, Ray, do you have any pictures of you cockpit flat panel set up...I've been toying with that idea as a project for this year...Also, tell me...
