I think I got the last one.

Can you please email me the pictures full size? They are a little small on Boat Trader. I am interested in this boat. Also, is this boat from saltwater or fresh water? Please be honest, it will not effect my decision to buy or not buy. Does it have a bow thruster? royallichter@icloud.com...

Funny how Chicago works. Bad weather for nearly all of May then record breaking warm temperatures. Never thought I'd say this but I actually got boated out this past weekend. Think I put at least 12hrs on the boat.

If you have one I would like to buy one especially for the transom remote. My bad transom remote is causing my helm remote to work intermittently.

Chicago Marine Canvas, ask for Vince.

From what I have read it seems you are correct re: maintenance. Who knows whether they were doing the gear oil changes, outdrive services, etc. They did do manifolds and risers. But also sent me the boat with the wrong sacrificial anodes for fresh water. The confusing thing is that the...

following in the fear that mine will need to be replaced sometime in the future years...

Very nice Dancer, good luck with the sale.

Seriously. But, I'm currently in the process of installing a new VHF since my old one crapped out, so it's not safe to go out... and I'm secretly slightly happy that it hasn't been nice. :P

I always just keep track of lock to lock. If I ever 'forget' where the drive may be pointed, I just reset. At first I thought I wanted a 'rudder' indicator but realized it was unnecessary. Also, if the situation is appropriate, you can pulse the throttle and figure out where the drive is...

Sorry to bump a four year old thread but did you ever get any resolution on this? I am having the same issue.

Hi all. I have the original XMD 3 head unit installed in my 260DA. I have the helm remote and the transom remote. It appears that the transom remote does not work anymore at all. It is illuminated but no buttons work and the screen is blank. The helm remote is also having issues - display...

I will share my experience with you. Last year, I purchased a boat that was from salt water and has a Bravo 3. 2005 260DA. The outdrive and transom was in extremely poor shape. Being new to boating, I thought the issues were only cosmetic and that I would be able to get away with re-sealing...

Responding to document what was going on, hopefully this helps someone in the future. My A/C works just fine. The interior temperature of the boat was lower than 55 (which is the lowest the A/C will kick on at). As suggested I turned on the heat for about an hour or two. The interior...

Can you confirm it works? And, where in Northern IL are you? If you're not far from Chicago you may have just made my day.
