Hello. I'm the proud owner of a 2004 Sea Ray 260Da ( called a 275 here in Australia ). It's only ever done 20knots at 4,000rpms. If I trim it will go 5,000 rpms. I have had the engine and fuel system checked out and all that seems fine. I am now wondering if my prop pitch is wrong. They...

Hello, I have a 2004 Searay 260da. It has the little 5.0-litre merc cruiser, single-engine. At just over 4,000 rpm, it does about 20 knots. Based on the smart craft gauge it burns about 67 litres an hour. Where I live in Australia it's open ocean, so not a flat lake or river. 1. Does that...

Hello, Is it possible / practical to re conditional the engine pulley's ? A mechanic said all mine needs to be replaced as they are tearing the belt. Photo enclosed for your viewing pleasure.

My 5.0 Mercruiser needs a new transom assembly. Plus 2 fuel pumps. Mechanic quoted me about $4k in labour. Can I do all this myself ? Remove the engine, replace the transom assembly, replace both fuel pumps. I have zero mechanical experience but seems I need to start to learn so I don't go...

I found it. On my 2004 5.0 Mercruiser the cool fuel black box is on the bottom of the engine near the engine Mount. It’s very close to the floor. In the photo I put a red line around it . could anyone please explain how I remove the cover ? I have not been able to find any information on this...

I just had a heating issue fixed. Now I have a fuel pump issue. Have also been told a need a new transom assembly and soon new risers and manifolds. Wowza. When I look at my engine. It has lots of rust as well. Like maybe its about to total fail. Can any one give me some guidance based on the...

Hello, I'm starting to freak out about how much my boat is costing to fix up. I just spent $2k with an over heating issue. Now I have a fuel pump issue. ( mechanic said around $4K ) When I was poking around today. ( I only pock because I am not mechanically minded and would break something )...

Hello. I have no idea about engines. Actually the only thing I know is my motor and leg is really old and worn out. Been spending a lot of money on them its killing me. Now the mechanical says both fuel pumps need to be replaced. I had no idea the engine had 2 fuel pumps. He also says to get...

Hello. My 2004 Sea Ray 275 has a Guest Charge Pro . My daughter ran the batteries dead flat. Now the green lights on my guess charge pro will not turn on . Could that be because my batteries are just now way too flat ?

So confused. I need new house batteries. I have no idea how big I need them to be. I would like big enough to stay at anchor for 2 or 3 days. Online says to measure all the amp draw, but I have no idea how to do that either. My Sea Ray 275 Sundanacer has a fridge, vaculush, TV, radio, lights...

Hello I bought a multi metre and googled how to measure the amp draw from each device. Eg the fridge . They seem to suggest I need to remove the fuse for the fridge and connect my positive and negative to each side so the multi metre becomes part of the circuit . But I have no idea where the...

I have a 2004 Sea Ray 275 Sundancer. Had it about a year. Its over heating . It was lifted out today. The mechanic found the hose that takes the water that goes from the leg into the engine has a big kink in it. The mechanic says to replace this pipe the engine needs to be removed. He also...

Hello My overboard discharge does not switch on when I open the valve through the hull. The level seems to be connected to some wires so I assume it must start a pump. I have the key in the head turn on & not sure if anything else need to be on to make this work . Here is a photo of the...

Hello The Norcold fridge in my 2004 Sea Ray 260 da will not turn off. Just keep humming away. I thought when they get to the right temp that shut down ? But it’s also so loud at night I turn it off at the switch . I figure I may need a few one but can’t afford it at the moment so I’m trying...

Hello new to me. The 2 house batteries are start batteries not deep cycle. I read I need to measure the amp hours of every device. Eg. Fridge , cabin lights, cockpit lights, anchcor light, water pump. Vacuflush . i don’t even know how to do any of that. Has someone else already worked...

Hello, I just bought a 2004 260DA. Here in Australia the are called a 275. Oddly. Due to boarder closures I can’t use it. I am in Qld & it’s in NSW. So I am going to let my wife’s brother use it for know. I’ve not even driven it. Ha I was wondering if anyone has a check list for starting and...

Hello. I just bought a 2004 Sea Ray 275. It has the 5 Litre Mercrusiser. I have read a lot of posts here about fuel consumption, but I am fairly dumb. What makes it harder for me is I am in Australia and most of the post talk about gallons and even when I try and convert gallons to litres I...
