    Running transducer line to helm on a 2002 260 sundancer

    David, Where exactly did you mount the transducer? I'm wanting to add a color graph unit to my 2007 260 DA, but where to mount a transducer has become an issue. I'm not getting into the through hull mount option. Would love to mount a tranducer in epoxy in the sump area.

    Installing a color graph/GPS on 2007 260 DA

    Sherry and I have a mint 2007 260DA, but I don't like having as my only depth reading the Smartcraft Gauge, that alternates readouts of depth and trim. I want a 5-7" unit like a Humminbird, Lowrance or Garmin. I've installed dozens of these in bass boats, but my issue on the Sea Ray is where...

    Newbie - What runs off battery vs shore power?

    Stee6043, No argument with anything you said. The Duracell's are a Deka product, and very fine batteries. And that price is as good as can be found anywhere. I went 31's AGM for two reasons-- 1. I've run them in my bass boats and know how well they perform, and 2. Battery location in my...

    Newbie - What runs off battery vs shore power?

    Guys, You need to read my statement above again. I said that Newbie needs to run the biggest, heaviest 31 series marine batteries he can find. Batteries are a "go/no-go" piece of equipment. I said Northstar 31's are the best I've found, and I recommend them. Can you get good batteries in wet...

    Shoot through hull Transducer

    CreekWood, What I meant by "Core" was a basic, elemental issue. No reference to hull construction. What type of graph and transducer do you have, and where is it mounted in the sump area. Much appreciated!!

    Shoot through hull Transducer

    Thank you for the responses, but there is a core issue here. To do what you both suggest, I must first purchase a graph unit, and then see if it will work. Don't want to do that. I'm hoping to find someone that has done it and can tell me where they put the transducer. Guess I could try and...

    Shoot through hull Transducer

    Has anyone ever mounted a puck "shoot through the hull" transducer in a Sea Ray 260? I really want to mount a color graph/GPS unit on my boat, but I'm baffled as to where to put the transducer. The only place I can find that might work is in the sump, just behind the bilge pump, forward of the...

    Newbie - What runs off battery vs shore power?

    One more comment here--while you are about getting ready to enjoy the boat, unless you are certain they are new, get the biggest, heaviest 31 series Marine batteries you can find. Especially since you have no generator, your entire electrical system will be supported by your 12 volt batteries...

    Adding a Magma Grill stand base to swim deck

    Appreciate this--now, I've located a source for 316 marine grade machine screws, but my question is HOW LONG do they need to be? I can get 316 grade up to 3" long in 1/4" diameter, but any longer takes me back to 18-8 grade. Any help is appreciated.

    Adding a Magma Grill stand base to swim deck

    Cliff, Creekwood is right--you have the extended platform; my 2007 does not. I'm looking at mounting on the standard swim platform. Creekwood--if this is a fiberglass cored area, can I get away with marine wood screws, bedded in 4200. I would never run with the grill in place, and would only...

    Adding a Magma Grill stand base to swim deck

    We are taking delivery of a 2007 260 next weekend, and I want to add a Magma removable post grill stand to the swim platform. I know the bolts are 1/4", to fit the deck plate, but can someone who has done this tell me how LONG the bolts need to be? From what I can see, I will need to access the...

    Question regarding depth finder installation

    I am about to become the owner of a 2007 SunDancer 260. Boat has a Northstar GPS, but no depth sounder. I have installed graphs on bass boats many times, but never on a boat this large. Can I mount the transducer internally on this Hull, in the sump area, so that t shoots through the Hull? On...
