    Boat test 2000 260 DA, 7.4L will not achieve max RPM

    Latest performance after this weeked (with reworked props): 36MPH/37MPH @ 4300 RPM (WOT) - I am now in the published 4200 - 4600 WOT range, however top speed didn't significantly improve. Slight improvement on the top end. Significant improvement out of the hole. Got up on plan quickly...

    Boat test 2000 260 DA, 7.4L will not achieve max RPM

    Thanks Mark for the reply. Your prop slip % is very good and mine is way too high - based on our performance numbers. I called the prop shop that reworked my 24p props to get an update. They said that the two props were both off pitch, especially the rear prop - with one blade considerably...

    Need a canvas cover boot for '99 270DA (Navy)

    I recently bought a used 1999 Sundancer 270DA (9'2" beam). It has the navy camper canvas top/sides. The one thing it lacks is one of the two cover boots. The one it did come with has the Sea Ray logo sewed in. I am looking for a matching canvas cover boot that would cover either the front...

    Boat test 2000 260 DA, 7.4L will not achieve max RPM

He seemed to think that the underperformance at WOT (4100 RPM / 36 mph vs 4600 RPM / 40 mph) was most likely a prop issue rather than timing, sensors, etc. Based on some internet-based prop calculators, my prop slip %...

    2005 290SLX - Fresh Water Pumped - quit

    I had my pump go out, and after hooking the power up directly to the battery (circumventing the pressure switch) the pump motor spun up. I did have to cut the wires to test. Alternatively, you can also check the lead wire (red) from the pressure switch to the motor (while it is supposed to be...

    Boat test 2000 260 DA, 7.4L will not achieve max RPM

    Well, maybe I need a prop change to 22p. I was going to have the props reworked over winter, but... Mark - do you know if your props were original? SeaRay's prop chart for '99 lists our configuration with 24p and a WOT of 4600. Link...

    Boat test 2000 260 DA, 7.4L will not achieve max RPM

    I am experiencing similar performance issues with my newly purchased used 1999 Sundancer 270, equipped with 7.4L MPI, Bravo III with 24p props. Bottom is painted and clean. 400 hours on the engine, oil pressure psi and engine temperature is all good. Engine runs smoothly, however I only...
