Hello fellow boaters
Recently stumbled on to this website and what a gem! Learned a lot from all the past posts. Wanted to say hi and see if anyone is left on here (?)
I'm Trisha I have a 2000 Sundancer 260 for about 5 years now. Absolutely LOVE my boat! So far she's been pretty great to me with only some minor repairs/maint (bellows, impeller, canvas and some other tinkering).
Needing a good mechanic now because after reading the last 45 pages I'm having nightmares about rusty manifolds and water flooding my engine I guess it's time to have some serious maintenance done! So, considering I've had the boat for about 5ish years now, and I've not done too much to it, I'm trying to put together a list of what I should have done. After some reading on here I narrowed it down to needing: inline fuel filter, fuel/water filter, plugs, wires, another impeller (every 2 years?), manifold/ risers, cap, rotor, and sea foam in my fuel. Does that sound about right?
She's in a slip at my local marina and at the end of the season she gets stored in my driveway on a trailer. Any advice would be much appreciated as I know less than nothing about the mechanical stuff. And if anyone is on Long Island and knows a good mechanic please pass along!
Thanks
Trisha
