Hi,
had a number of oil pressure problems last season along with alarms. This year after an oil change and replaced both the oil sensor/sender the oil pressure has been great running steady at between 40 and 50 psi at all rpms.
Today saw something very strange. When i punched the throttle...
A guy on my dock is experiencing a leak in his aluminum gas tank. Boat is a bayliner cruiser and is about 15 years old. Since my boat is close to the same vintage year it got me wondering how common this is. I assume it is due to moisture around or within the tank that causes it to rot/leak...
Was out yesterday and my alarm went off and saw the oil pressure gauge go to zero. Stopped and anchored to go check things out. Plenty of oil on the dipstick and no signs of leaks or anything anywhere. Started it back up and idled a bit and watched the gauge came up real slow. Came up to ten...
Hi,

Hi all,
I'm new to the site and this looks like a great forum. I did an impulse buy on a 2000 260 DA at the end of this season and besides a sea trial on a very calm river I have no experience with the boat out on the ocean and have no idea what to expect in terms of ride and handling. Was...
