    Depth sounder 2006 260 Dancer

    Mates, my depth sounder is not displaying on the smart craft. Also not communicating with the Navman. This happened when I picked it up from marine max. I brought it in so they could pull the codes since I was getting the beeps. It was the IAC so I decided to just do that repair myself since...

    06 280DA Magma grill mount

    I ended up using the Scotty system. Here's a thread with some discussion. I like that it locks in multiple positions so I swing inboard under weigh and outboard when cooking. http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/81935-Where-to-install-rod-holders-on-2006-260-Sundancer/page2?highlight=Magma...

    Hard to Believe!

    Well, when it comes to vacation property ... had a great vacation home in Gatlinburg which went up in flames after Thanksgiving. Got nice insurance settlement and given our age and station, we chose to pay down home mortgage and rent in the future. If I would rebuild it would cost me so much...

    Help expanding space in v-berth

    Met with upholstery guy yesterday and we have a plan. Wrap the horizontal board in the padded vinyl to match, develop a seamless method of attaching the bolsters so that when they come off the vinyl will look good and prepare a headboard that will be secured through the anchor locker bulkhead...

    Sorry if I violated protocol in posting in this different section. I am new to this club and thought that perhaps posting in another section would generate some discussion! Still learning about this great resource!

    Enlarging V-berth 260 DA

    So true. I wish I could just blithely purchase a bigger boat, but alas, I must see what I can do with what I have now. I am thinking that there may be some other folk who have faced similar challenges given our stature.

    Enlarging V-berth 260 DA

    Posting to modification section a query already posted in hopes of finding some owners who have tackled a similar issue... I am exploring removal of the the seat cushion bolsters in the V-berth to enlarge the sleeping area. I would like to be able to return the area to factory look upon resale...

    Help expanding space in v-berth

    Ok, I checked things out this morning and it looks like the piece of plywood I was thinking of removing is much more structural than I thought. So I'm moving towards wrapping it with fabric and creating an upholstered board underneath the mirror at the bow. The side bolsters will be removable...

    Help expanding space in v-berth

    UPDATE: The bolsters are easier to remove than I thought! Bennett, just take those ten stainless screws out and where the curved bolster meets the straight, pull the straight one inboard. The straight bolsters are tucked, but not secured, into slots in the galley cabinetry and the head...

    Help expanding space in v-berth

    i know, I know, but she just partially sunk. The insurance company spent twenty thousand replacing tons of stuff. I need to just enjoy the hell out of it for the next few years because I basically have a new boat. Plus there is a multiplier effect in that a bigger boat will not fit on my...

    Help expanding space in v-berth

    It looks like the small horizontal board behind the curved cushion is a solid piece extending forward from head wall on starboard side and forward from the galley cabinet on the port side. I have considered cutting that piece where the curved bow cushion meets the side cushions but you are...

    Help expanding space in v-berth

    Hello list Mates! I am looking at the v-berth space on my 2006 260DA and thinking that I could remove the forward back rests. That is, the curved cushion that realistically if you are seated at the most forward position on the v-berth table is too far back anyway. I would still leave the...

    New Stereo and Speakers

    Great job! And I bet you now have Bluetooth technology! I saw some postings about eight pin versus five pin remote jacks. Was that an issue for you? I guess I need to figure out the model on board. I think parts manual says CM D4.

    260 Sundancer Thread.........Comments questions and answers

    fender storage I explored using stainless steel mounts that clamp to the bow rail, but decided that the anchor locker was a better solution. One trick ... if you have two fenders, tie the whips together with a square knot so that once you grab one, you will have both. This saves having to...

    Re: insurance claim Hello! New member. I have had sea rays for 10 years. I've owned my 2006 260 for 4 years. Two months ago, the raw water exhaust hose blew and before I knew it the hold filled up with 18 inches of water. Progressive has been very good about this claim and has spent about...
