Totally hooked!

Yes! It was horrible and it was the fuel dock's fault fortunately. They covered everything, no hassle from them at all. Looking forward to posting many more happier stories ;) Paul

Thanks again for all the tips I used many of them. The weekend was a success but after a rough start! Woke up early, spent a couple hours with my family getting things loaded and then pressed start on the starboard engine. It didn't sound quite right but finally started then died after about 5...

Thanks again everyone; super helpful. Adventure begins in the AM :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the tips, especially the last one for the 5 gallon jug! We're going to be moored at Catalina island so no power or water except for the boat. What do you guys do about refrigerators? I've not run them on batteries for more than a few hours before. Any idea how long they'd run...

Hey guys, I'm taking my wife and daughter to Catalina Island (SoCal) for a 3 day weekend soon and it will be the first time we've all spent the night on the boat outside of our slip. Aside from the obvious food, water, clothes, are there specific things I should bring that a newbie wouldn't...

Sorry for probably a newbie question, how / where do I find hull number? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@WDCBoater I saw the boat and didn't check ours the first time since I wasn't planning to buy it then. Next time I came back boat was having cosmetic work done so I sea trialed a 2015 and decided to buy 2015 after that. Next time I wanted to see the boat they said it was at other store getting...

Thanks for all the comments. Agree in the overall scheme of things it's not a lot of hours but had I known I'd have negotiated more than I did. Boat looks like new, in fact the person who washes it commented on how clean it was. They claim the 20 hour service was done and next isn't 'till 100 so...

Hey CSR, I just bought my 3rd SR in less than 1.5 years. Started with used 2012 260, new 2014 310 and now new 2016 350, all from the same dealer. Never thought to check engine hours since boat was 'new' but I found out when I checked expecting to see only a few that it had 28. I asked the...

Thanks for the additional feedback. The specs for the boat say 28 gallons, hopefully it's a typo :) Based on your experiences I'm thinking we'll be lucky to get more than 2 days even if we conserve (family of 3). Not having overnighted on the boat away from the slip I didn't realize water was...

Hi everyone. I'm upgrading from a 260DA to a 310DA tomorrow with the expectation that my family and I will spend weekends on the boat on the water. The fresh water on our 260 lasted for a long time but we didn't spend more than a day on it and didn't shower. Curious to hear from the pros how...

Thanks for the suggestions, very much appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for advice for kits to mount a 12' SUP to the railing on the bow of the boat off to one side or the other. I've found plenty of options for storing in garages or mounting to cars but none for boats. If you've gotten something that works well please share your expertise -...

Hi everyone, I'm a relatively new owner of a 2012 260DA with with the Merc 350MPI. I've struggled to find a list of fluids to check and how frequently. Aside from oil, please let me know what else should be checked and how frequently. I recall seeing a reservoir for gear lube but not sure how...

Thank you!

Hey guys, my horn has stopped working. Not sure how long ago as I haven't tried to use it in months. I've checked the fuse and even replaced it to no avail. Any ideas what it could be? Anyone know where it's located so I could take a look at the wires? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Bennett. It makes sense except I only see the female end on my boat to allow me to connect a regular hose. That seems to be the one to bypass using the freshwater tank. Should there be another connector with the spigot nearby? Paul

Sorry for the newbie question, can't find answer anywhere for what seems simple. I recently purchased a 2012 Sundancer 260 and can't figure out what the Freshwater Washdown Spigot is used for? It needs a hose obviously based on the fitting but I can't tell if it's to put water in or for water to...
