Have you checked that the key that locks the impeller to the shaft is in place? Wouldn't be the first time that has been overlooked!

KC Did you find where the leak to the rear corner of the mid bunk room was coming from? I have a 268 and have noticed a slight leak in the same place. I am pretty sure it is coming from above but I don't think it is the window. I am beginning to think it may be coming from the rubrail so may...

Just preparing to put the boat back in the water and the steering is frozen tight! I have pulled the cable with a view to replacing it but there are no markings on it anywhere and neither does the steering assembly give any clues as to who made it. My 268 has a single 350 with power steering...

Thank you all for your comments and advice. The bridle setup appears to be the most practical and utilises the existing cleats. Do you think the factory cleats are strong enough or should I reinforce them? Separate pendants makes very good sense. I agree that accessing the bow eye would be...

Does anyone have any suggestions for mooring a 268 Sundancer on a swing mooring. I recognise that in the USA most people either trail their boats or keep them in a marina however here in the UK marinas can be prohibitively expensive so swing and trot line moorings are common. My question...

Many thanks for the replies - I will give it a try when the boat goes back in the water. I dont intend going anywhere near the new fast ferry between Dover and Boulogne! I did read somewhere that the Johnson 10 and 15hp were essentially the same motor. My Johnson is a late 80's model...

I have a 268DA here in the Uk that only has one engine and I am looking into the possibility of mounting a bracket on the swim platform to take a small outboard simply as a "get me home" in the event the main engine fails for whatever reason. I hope it never does but I would rather not find...

Like many before me I have been suffering from leaky windows so have bitten the bullet and removed them so that I can re-seal them. I am not sure what Searay used when building the boat but when I removed the screws the windows virtually fell out? What is the best sealant to use when...

Hi Busterman, That is very kind of you. What do you need from me to get an order in? Am I right in thinking that all 268DA's had their screens/windows made by Taylor Made? If that is the case I assume that Taylor Made would know the quantity required for the various rubber seals, trim, covers...

That's great - many thanks. Richard

Hi, I also have a 1986 268DA Sundancer in the UK and would like to replace the seals on both the main windscreen (4 sections) and also the side windows. I would really appreciate any help in locating a supplier as there is no-one in the UK that can help. I also need to replace the weep hole...
