Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! I purchased my 260 Signature Select Bowrider about 1.5 years ago knowing that I'd have to replace the exhaust manifolds on my MAG 7.4L 454 (with Bravo III DuoProp). I bought the boat and trailer during Covid for $16k and we've been able to put about 100...

Solved! Was just a fuse. Thanks all!

7.4L Mercruiser MPI. When I turn the key I’m not getting the “beep, beep” followed by the sound of the initial fuel injection. Batteries are good and charged and the starter is just running trying to engage....but it seems clear no fuel is being delivered. Any thoughts on how to start...

Alright, my latest issue is that I’ve got a slow drip leak coming out of the exhaust right where the yellow arrow is pointing. Any ideas on whether I need to truly care about this? Any suggestions on how I can stop the leak without having to replace the whole chrome exhaust part? As always...

Thanks all! I replaced the blower after looking at both the circuit breaker and blower. The blower was very corroded and operated at two different tones at times...the new one is smooth and quiet and didn’t trip the breaker. So...On to the next challenge!!

Huge thanks Shawn! For #2 I’ll try those and see if it works, thx! For #1 there is a lowrance hook 4x that has two cables that plug into it. It seems like it’s working so maybe those are older cables for another model or something.

Nice!! Great idea...I hadn’t thought of that. Did you find some that will raise up pretty high? I think the hatch needs to be able to open like 30 inches or so and the actuator is rated at holding 1000lbs. Thx!!

Hi there, new to the Club having just purchased a 2000 260 BR Signature and this is my first boat...so please forgive my ignorance. Within two months I’ve already had to troubleshoot and fix several issues and I have a few that I would love some helpful perspective on. #1. Does anyone know...
