My boat came back from the repair shop soaking wet inside and out. I suspect that port holes were left open and the cover was off during a big rain storm. My Richardson's chart book of Lake Michigan was on the shelf above the microwave and it was completely soaked and ruined. I need to replace...

I have a 2008 260DA with a 350 mag engine with 110 hours and I keep finding this trail of green oil in the same spot. I had a local SR dealer look at it over the winter and they said I have a valve cover leak, which I had them fix. I have only used the boat a few times this year and the leak is...

This has nothing to do with boating but I figured there may be a few in our group that could help me. I am building a new home in NW Indiana and for the first time in my life, I will have a well system for water. I noticed on a few homes around the neighborhood, that have irrigation systems, a...

I know that many of you have lost your four legged best friend, hunting buddy, or boating mate. This afternoon I lost mine. Jake, an 8.5 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever lost his battle with acute liver failure. Jake caught some sort of virus over the weekend and on Monday night started...

I did a search on batteries and found some good stuff but now I am more confused than when I started searching. The PO of my 260DA installed a 2000w inverter on the boat with two large wet batteries. I just took the boat in for repairs at B&E marine, for the first time to B&E, in Michigan City...

I broke off the tip of my antenna late last year. I just purchased an 8' Shakespeare from BOE Marine. I pull the boat out of storage next weekend and replacing the antenna will be the first of several projects. Any advice on do's and don't? I am one of those "open checkbook" guys when it comes...

I was wondering if anyone was going to the Chicago boat show on January 9-13? I have never been to it and appreciate comments on whether or not it is worth the drive? Recommendations on a place to stay? Or general opinions?

I am brand new to boating on lake Michigan and I want to use the winter to improve my chart reading and navigation skills. I have a Garin 536 on the 260DA plus a back up hand held Garmin, but I want to be able to get around using the charts and the compass. I looked on the Internet for a...

Need some advice here. On my last trip of the season, I had a covered slip at Shanghi dock on Lake Norris. I trailer my boat everywhere and not really familiar with slip mechanics. I pulled in with the antenna up and after a few seconds of hearing this screeching sound I realized the antenna was...

When I engage the throttle in forward or reverse, the boat just barely moves. When I bump it up a little to travel in a no wake area the throttle won't hold the position and kicks back to the "just engaged" position. Is there a way to adjust the throttle? My mechanical skills are fair to average...

I am looking for some advice and direction from those who have been around the New Buffalo area on Lake Michigan. I have a 260 Sundancer on a trailer and looking for the best place to put-in. I have never been on Lake Michagan and do not know the area at all. I have spent a lot of time on Lake...
