Congratulations! You're going to love that boat, and those big V8's just sip gas! Enjoy!

Hi Linux, My boat is a 2010 so not the same as yours, but I wanted sun pads too and after contacting a MarineMax dealer was told they were no longer available. I'm having some canvas work done, and that shop said they could make them. My salesman got me an $1800 allowance because the boat was...

Thanks, I'll try this first.

We moved up from a 260 DA to a 2010 370 DA and absolutely LOVE this boat. Had to recharge the refrigerant in the large cabin refrigerator and noticed it only works on 110 V, nothing on 12 V. Any ideas?

Find a way to check your mercathode system. Mine went and in short order the results were horrifying. Not an expensive fix.

Any water in the bilge? I made the mistake once of not checking the drain plug after pulling the boat for service. It wasn’t in tight and of course this was the exact time the float control for the bilge pump decided to quit. When I couldn’t get any speed and turning was difficult I checked the...

Hey Maxse, I had my 2005 done this summer, same engine as yours. My mechanic charged for 5 hours at $95/hr ($475), 2 X Merc 6.20 G.I. Exhaust manifolds @ $453.58 each ($907.16) and 1 X Merc 6" riser kit @ $672.43, so this came to a total $2054.59. There could have been some other misc. parts...

Hey Dadsturn, You're not crazy, my 260 has the freshwater tank under the v-berth too. I wish it was in the engine room so I could visually check the level, because that's impossible where it is. The fill is on the left side of the bow deck. I'm having a problem that I think is coming from...

Re: AC Light Switch in Cabin ? Last year was my first time putting her to bed for the Winter and I had an experienced boat guy show me how. We fogged the carburetor just like I'd done on my '98 4.3L for years. She started right up last Spring and ran beautifully this year. I used the same...

Does anyone know if the 2005 260 DA had a balsa cored hull below the waterline?

Hi Guys, Time to get the boat ready...it's been a long winter! Welcome Otter007 and I agree, please find Dave S.'s posts on outdrive trim and save yourself a lot of consternation. Has anyone installed a 110 outlet in the cockpit area above the sink? Just wondering what the easiest way to...

My boat guy says he can pull power from the windlass and use a wireless remote to make it quick & dirty, and easy. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but sounds reasonable.

Leave the head door open, close the cabin door for privacy, and back in to sit down. It works. Sure glad to have it. We have a transom shower, haven't tried the one in the head...seems like it would be a challenge.

Do you mind saying what the total cost was?

I've thought about the same thing for that spot. I just ordered this throw cushion I'm going to try out in that spot. http://www.searaycollection.com/product_p/sr1731.htm

New question Hello, Does anyone have advice on new batteries? My boat has the 350 and there are dual batteries that I've been advised to replace. Looks like you can spend an incredible amount on them, I just don't want to waste money making the wrong choice. Appreciate anyone's help! Thank...

Can someone answer a stupid question. Just unwrapped my new (to me) 2005 260 DA and trying to figure things out for the first time. What's the deal with the circuit breakers on the main DC breaker panel next to the battery switch? Do they move? Maybe when they trip they're different than...

Take a look at this site. I'm thinking about this idea to tow my two jet skis. www.towdster.com
