No issues! I actually don't even use 4WD hardly at all. One or two times I have put it into 4WD high just to get up off a very slippery ramp, but normally here in NC we have great paved ramps. I do stay on top of maintenance though. One small leak and you could be in some real trouble when your...

Any new updates!?

Juicy update! Love it! Wish you were local so I could come by and help! Keep on trucking man! Love the way those seats look!

Really sorry to hear this! Good luck! You are resilient and resourceful! I'm sure you will be ok. If it doesn't end up working out I wouldn’t care to post a gofundme, or support you if you posted one to buy you some new carbs and help with storage.

HOLY COW! Your not kidding!

I have an 84 260 in good working order but needs a lot of cosmetic work. This thread is inspiring! Keep up the good work! Subbed!

Yea going with false on this as well. Just got a quote to do this and for the price there is no way the engine was going to be removed....

Thanks a lot!

Thanks again for all the help on diagnosing my battery/electrical issue that I mentioned in my previous post. Best I can tell my main issue is my batteries. I currently have two group 27ms in my boat. Since I do spend a lot of time on the hook and have no generator I have decided to upgrade to...

Here are pics of my batteries. They both look the same. I'm assuming they are group 27? I'm assuming if I replace them I should do one deep cycle for the house and one starting battery?

Ok! that makes a lot more sense. Thank you for your input. Hrm... running on both is what I always do so maybe that could be a reason why the meter is low? I could have one good battery and one bad battery. This does make sense though. I'm guessing I should use #1 battery to start it, and run...

I do have a selector switch for 1,2, and all. Because I did not install it I'm not sure exactly how its wired/works, but I do understand the basics of them. There is so much to learn on this thing! I will need to become an amateur electrician to get all of this worked out. The way I...

Thanks for giving me the numbers to check at. I was wondering if it was an exponential type gain from the alternator. This is super helpful. Please disregard the fact that I thought I was going to have to be underway haha!:smt101 I was writing that post very very early this morning. I certainly...

Thanks a lot! I had read a lot about older corroded wires dropping current the farther away they go. This boat is definitely going to be an adventure. I freaked out when I found the OEM wiring schematics a couple of days ago from searching around on the forum.

Just a disclaimer: Number one I know this is an old boat and I have only had her for one full season (last year) so I'm just getting to really know her....:huh: Some things work intermittently (tachometer), some never work (clock, trim gauge), and some things always work (all the important...

Thats about what I figured.... but I really cranked on it and it didn't move. I will try it again though. Thanks guys!

Fixing to start my second season with this beautiful boat 84 Sundance 260! I have a very silly question. In all the descriptions I read that this dinette table folds down to a sleeping birth. For the life of me I can't figure it out. We have never had a use for it but I was just cleaning up the...
