I experienced the same problem on my new 2007 260 Sundeck. My dealer fixed it the first time as the main smartcraft connection was loose. However, the problem happened again so the technician replaced the tach which has now fixed the problem.
I just closed on my first boat....2007 Sea Ray 260 Sundeck. I take delivery on April 29th from Clark's Landing in Maryland. Looks like it's going to be a GREAT summer with the family!
Mr Salt,

I am buying the boat from Clark's Landing too. I plan on keeping the boat at Indian Landing marina on the Severn river. Where do you keep your boat? Have you been happy with your 240SD?
Thanks HokiesFan,
I will be storing the boat in a dry dock and will be using mostly in a river for day trips with the family. I'm glad to hear you like the boat as I've stated, this is my first boat and hope I'm making the right decision!!!!
Thanks for your response. Is there anything else I should be asking for from the dealer before I move forward? (i.e. include dock lines, bumpers etc.) or is that stuff expected? Also, is it reasonable for me to ask them to throw in a GPS unit? I don't want to seem to greedy as I believe I'm...
