    1988 Sea Ray 268 side window leaking

    Hi all One of my longest side windows is leaking. Have replaced the flocking and cleared all the drains a year ago but the window still leaks significantly towards the front berth under heavy rain. Nothing visible from the top so thinking it cannot be bedded in on the bottom sealing surface...

    Hi JDM You have a searay 268 with twin 4.3l, the same setup as we have down here in NZ. I see in one of your posts you had a set of Mirage 48 13700 19 props as spares. Did you ever fit and test them?- interested to know what they were like as we are upgrading our Vengeance 17P to a 19P prop...

    268DA V6 twin 19p prop options

    Hi all This NZ winter we have replaced our tired 1988 V6 motors in the 268DA with some late 90"s vortec 2bbl Tks motors offering 190 hp at the prop. So total hp is probably similar to the original 205hp engines which were measured at the flywheel. Engines are a lot smoother and now have top...

    1988 Sundancer 268 work continues

    Thanks for that - much appreciated. The wiring is really a birds nest on my boat perhaps modified/improved? by the efforts of previous owners. Have purchased a low cost cable tracer which should assist with tracking wires. I have a background in electronics but the sea ray wiring installation...

    1988 268 Sundancer - rain water issues

    I have a 268 on a swing mooring with an intermittent bilge pump that needs attention, but my actual problem is with water after heavy rain. This morning after 2-3 hrs of heavy rain, I went out to the boat to find around 3 inches of water (maybe 5 -6 gallons) below the twin engines. it is...

    Mooring a 268 Sundancer

    Our 268 sits on a swing mooring down here most of the year. Its not unusual for wind on stormy days to be at 60mph with gusts to 80mph or higher. We have a bow roller, we remove the anchor and the mooring line comes up through the roller and is looped around a substantial cleat. A short piece of...

    Ultrasonic antifoul for Sea Ray 268 on mooring

    Yes, I was also quite skeptical at first. So I went and purchased the cheapest ultrasonic kitset I could find here for approx US $ 200 and installed it. I figured if it didn't work - I hadn't lost much. But it does work. My trim tabs are now barnacle free after three months instead of being...

    Ultrasonic antifoul for Sea Ray 268 on mooring

    My 1988 268 has been on a swing mooring here now for 18 months and has been under attack from all quarters, seals on the swim platform, seagulls on the canvas and barnacles/weed on the hull and outdrive. The most labour intensive has been the barnacles, requiring the hull to be trailered every...

    268 sundancer cabinet doors

    Re panel purchase. I am a long way from you but I can see it offered in USA under 'alucobond" or similar. I got mine from a local signwriter, 0.5sqm of board here cost US $ 20 so a low cost fix.

    268 sundancer cabinet doors

    Ok, here are the photos of the doors The 4 mm sign panel fits into the inserts so it is recessed 1 - 2 mm. It doesn't absorb water, cuts with a sharp knife, planes like wood and is quite durable for daily use. Note - use only moderate pressure when clamping down for the adhesive as...

    268 sundancer cabinet doors

    I know this problem well as I am currently fixing the door laminates on my 268 here. Removed all relevant doors from the boat. I used a 1" chisel and gently cut out the thin strip sections entirely so was left with a flat surface and faint black lines from the bottom of the original channels...

    268DA and Weekenders

    New on here but a question for those 268's with twin 4.3l and alpha drives. Trying to determine what prop size/pitch I should be running. Current props are 14.25' 17p stainless, boat leaps out of water ok and lowrance shows 1.9ml per gallon at 26mph and just over 3000 rpm. I see other on here...
