    260 sundancer 5.0 litre winterizing question

    When pumping Boat/RV Antifreeze through the Fresh Water System, how does the Hot Water Heater get purged. The pink stuff is coming through the cold water side, but is still clear through the Hot Water side. Is there a Bypass valve/switch to get the stuff through the how water heater and...

    RTV or some other type of adhesive might seal it temporarily, but between the internal water pressure and engine vibration, I wouldn't trust it over the long term.

    04 260 Sundancer

    Well, here's an update. Hopefully the pic are attached. The Distribution Housing was the culprit. As it turned out, it is made of two pieces. In my opinion, a poor design which is destined for failure at some point in time. The replacement unit ( $ 170.00 U.S. ) is made from 1 piece ( go...

    Not from the drain plug. At the bottom. Of course any leak in that area would wind up at the lowest point. But it seams like it is coming from the bottom. I'd did find it in the manual. It's called a distribution housing.

    Alarms beeps twise every 2 minutes

    Well, we headed up to the top of seneca lake on saturday. I cleared all the codes before the trip. All the way up the lake, beep beep, every minute or two. When we got to our destination it was raining (argh), i scanned for new codes, and sure enough there was the IAC code. Fortunately, because...

    Used Rinda Code Scanner for first time

    I didnn't erase the code. I don't know if that is the same as clearing it. Since it says active code I think it will come back until the problem is solved. I'll erase it and see if it comes back. Also, I am going to hook it up again. The manual says to check the freeze frame to determine if is...

    Hey All, I am the one who posted recently regarding 2 beeps per minute on my 04 260 Sundancer. I purchased the Rinda Mercruiser Code Scanner, $ 399.00 with the optional cable for interfacing to the PCM 555 electronics. It works great. With the key on, I get one active code: 119 Steer CKT...

    Alarms beeps twise every 2 minutes

    To all who responded: I am truly thankful for all the thoughtful input. You have all helped to narrow down a vague issue to something more specific. I did check my drive gear lube level and topped it off, no difference. After talking to a Mercruiser rep again they told me that there are...

    Alarms beeps twise every 2 minutes

    Hi All, I have a 2004 260 Sundancer w/ 5.0 Litre Mercruiser. While cruising on Saturday, the alarm started beeping twice every two minutes. Otherwise the boat ran fine and all the vitals seemed ok. I spoke with a Mercruiser rep and they stated the Smartcraft alarm will only go off once per...
