I went through the calibration procedure this weekend on the Smartcraft and did the Trim calibration. Everything seemed to go well but when I took the boat out for a test, the trim guage was not in sync with the degree of trim. Basically I trimmed the boat out but the guage was still showing it...
What do those of you that boat on the CT river use for anodes? Aluminum or Magnesium? I have been using Aluminum but in talking with a dock worker at our marina, he said that I should be using Magnesium. I have always thought that the water at Deep River was considered brackish but he said it...
I want to replace both batteries with Optima Bluetops, 31M to be exact. I am not close to the boat to measure the existing batteries. Anyone out there that is close to their 260 willing to give me the measurements of the battery boxes? Any help is appreciated.
Well I have about finished sanding and using my Dremel to clean out any pitted areas. I know I have seen several post regarding this but I am not finding the one that list a particular solution or paint prepping product to use prior to applying zinc chromate. Anyone remember what to use? Also...
I just received a new cockpit table from TeakWorld. I couldn't be happier with the product and the way it fits my boat and the price. Now I just need to get the shrink wrap off and prep her for the season!

Has anyone purchased a table from this company? I believe they manufacture tables for Searay. I am thinking of buying the 30 x 30 table from them. I called them and it is actually 30.5 x 27. I believe it might be a nice upgrade...
Does anyone that currently has access to their boat, 2005 or newer have the measurement of the round cockpit table? I believe I have found a triangular shaped table in teak that I may purchase as a replacement. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I did a search but found nothing regarding newer anchor design. Yesterday while at the Newport Boat Show I came upon a company selling stainless anchors. I have to say, the shiny stuff always catches my eye. Upon further investigation they were demonstrating on a small scale the differences...
Does anyone have any knowledge or opinions on this boat? We had one at the marina the other day (transient slip) and I really liked the layout. I looked at the specs and this 40 footer has 2 staterooms and 2 heads. I also liked the semi circular seating in the cockpit. I know it's not a Searay...
Just finished the installation of the Auto Trim Tab controls last weekend. The unit works great and was a fairly simple install once I found a place to install the control module. I ended up taking out the storage box underneath the throttle and mounting it below the box. I was able to cut the...
I have a rust stain down on the boot stripe that is coming from the common drain on the Starboard side of the boat. This is the thru hull drain that is just forward of the A/C thru hull drain. I have had stains from the A/C drain before but never this one. I have never actually seen water...
Some boaters don't take a tidal river serious. We were anchored out in Essex yesterday having some lunch. Next thing we know a 68' Azimut pulls up on our front port side and drops anchor. Three people on the boat plus the Captain. Then a lady on the boat jumps in the water. The Captain throws...
The family and I are planning a few days over to Long Island. We typically stay at Brewers Greenport but would like to check out Sag Harbor. Any recommendations of a marina to stay in Sag?
Does anyone know the manufacturer of the transom shower that is used on later model Sea Rays? I need a part for mine. The gray plastic holder that keeps the shower head from flopping around went for a swim the other day. I didn't notice that it was stuck to the shower head when I pulled it out...
My kids bought the Bennett Auto Trim Tab Control for an early Father's Day gift. I am going to install starting this afternoon. Seems pretty straight forward. However, if any of you have installed it on your boat, where did you install the Control Unit? If you have a 260 like mine, even better.
One of the snaps that is screwed into the hull fell out when the cockpit cover was removed. What do I use to fill the hole before replacing the snap? Did a search but couldn't find anything.
