OK, I understood the first two sentences, but... what are you trying to say in that third one?!?No idea, will lay it out and photo it. I have all the camper canvas up. I also have the cover, separate no isinglass, all canvas.
Was at my boat today emptying out last of personal stuff for winter sleep..
Sun popped out so rinsed off some road grime from haul back to storage building..
Noticed quite a bit of water running out
Anchor locker drains..we've had heavy rains over last 24hrs..along with hose deck rinse.
I crawled up a ladder To look see into hatch, Nothing unusual, but windlass gypsy was tourqed up on anchor chain ..so up to helm to pay out inch or 2 so to take off chain pressure. Then Noticed the stainless chainroller guide anchor pulpit is "loose" wiggles side to side.
Closer look shows quite a bit of movement 1/4 inch or so.
And all 6 through bolts are loose....
By Reaching under deck though hatch ...it seems That there is a builtup deck thickness from SR factory..couple questions..
is this solid glass or laminated ply?
Winlass was tight..but didnt check if deck build up is under winlass also.
Is there any know issues in this area of the 260 forward deck?
IWill definitely be re setting sealant and bolts in spring.
Also I am new to Brovo III outdrives...
Are you supposed to be able to move the leg by hand either left or right 2-3 inches off center ...while up on the trailer..?
There shouldn’t be any free play on the outdrive. Mine had some play and I was able to crank down on the bolt on steering arm and that took care of it. But I only had 3/4”-1” of play.
Explain the clicking sound. Is it whenever the engine is running?Thks maggie..
I do hear a clicking sound coming from inside transom er...that "bolt" may be part of my problem..I will look closer in spring before the big splash day.
Hi MaggieiscrazyExplain the clicking sound. Is it whenever the engine is running?
Given the weight of the boat, a hydrofoil is going to have minimal effect, if any... and it could compromise performance - you never really know if it will cause an issue till you try it. But the amount of lift it supplies is a given X amount of pounds, regardless of what boat it is on. As the boat gets heavier, the beneficial effect shrinks dramatically.Just another question to ask 260da owners
Has anyone with the bravo III added a slip on / bolt on style hydro wing to the leg cavitation plate, if yes what make and did you see an improvement on boats ability to remain up on plane at lower throttle positions.?
