I was thinking more along the lines of being able to go ashore when moored or anchored.
Bennett, what brand of dinghy do you have and is it an air floor? Ive been collecting info/advice from many dinghy owners to aid in my search...

So we are still waiting for the river to thaw so we can do our survey. However I was wondering if anyone can advise on a dinghy setup for an 05 260DA. The hitch is that I am on the larger side at 6'6 380lbs so it needs to be able to transport me and at least 1 other person plus any supplies. Would it just be easier to get a dock or anchor/moor in an area serviced by water taxi?
Thoughts?
Already Surveyed and it passed with flying colors. Around 300hrs on the engines and generator and service records showing all maintenance done by the dealer. We are keeping her on the occoquan river in Woodbridge Virginia and see what there is to see between Georgetown the Chesapeake Bay.
Welcome Aboard!
We're all over the Bay in our 260 - had it a couple years now.
hope to make the trip up the Potomac to DC this summer.

I was reviewing some old posts and saw yours, how many hours can you get out of those batteries running the ac?Yes, I cover the cabinet door with plastic when showering. I have a 3000 watt inverter with 4 golf cart batteries to run the AC.
I also have a windlass. Nice convenience.
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 what I'm seeing now, but they don't seem to work like the breakers in my home where you can switch them on and off. Is it me?
Those are the main breakers which wouldn't really need to be turned on/off. If they trip you can reset them as you normally would. If you want to trip them to exercise the switch or for testing/troubleshooting you can do so. You will likely see a little slot in the breaker itself that you'd insert a small screwdriver (or something of the sort) into to flip the switch.
