    Transducer and Garmin transom mount

    Hello, my Airmar transducer, installed in 2012, on my 2004 260 Sundancer, is no longer working. There is no indication of depth on the Smartcraft so it must need replacement. I unplugged the harness and reattached but that did not help and there is no bottom paint covering it. Is that normal...

    Flaking Bilge Paint Repair Timeline

    Hello, I was cleaning the bilge and found a few areas of flaking paint that need attention. I am going to get to it but I was wondering if waiting to fall or even next spring would have an adverse effect? Looking at using a product like PETTIT EZ BILGE ALKYD ENAMEL PAINT for the touch up. I...

    Gear lube monitor bottom nut

    Well, I was able to fix this. Used a flat head screw driver to hold the interior nut in place and luckily was able to tighten the external nut. I would delete the post but not sure how.

    Gear lube monitor bottom nut

    I could have done this a lot better…. I wanted to completely drain and clean out the gear lube monitor on my 2004 260 Sundancer. Unfortunately I was rushing and loosened the bottom nut thinking that I could pull the internal assembly and empty the monitor. Now I realize my mistake and can’t...

    Cabin door/hatch top rail fitting

    I was at my boat a few days ago and did not see any holes on the top of the door. I know that there are holes on the underside of the door but that would mean taking the door out. Perhaps the 2006 is different than the 2004?

    Cabin Door Support Blocks

    Hello all, I have an issue with the cabin door on my 2004 260 Sundancer. The two fittings that ride in the upper track and attach to the bottom of the sliding door are no longer attached to the door. I need to reattach them as the door has no support now on the upper portion. My concern is that...

    Cabin door/hatch top rail fitting

    Well it is good to know I was somewhat following. On the top of the sliding door/hatch I don’t see any place for the screws so did you drill new holes? Thanks very much.

    The official '99-'04 260DA Sundancer thread

    Thanks very much for replying. I purchased a 2x3 sheet of Optix plexiglass and it was flexible enough to fit and will get me through the season. So far so good. I spoke with a plastics outfit and they sent me a picture of some green tinted plexiglass that I might purchase a sheet. Right know...

    Cabin door/hatch top rail fitting

    Thanks very much for replying. It would be great to get this fixed without having to remove the door/hatch. I’ve read through you post a few times and it almost sounds like you went through the the top of the door into the block but I am not sure. When I look at the block it looks like the...

    Tempered glass versus plexiglass

    Thanks very much for all your help. I finish installing the windshield and was concerned about the tight fit so I removed the plexiglass and then reinstalled the frame and the fit was the same so I feel that this fit must be correct. The end caps make contact and the hinge on the left side...

    Tempered glass versus plexiglass

    I bought a sheet of Optix acrylic. Now I will have to make a template and make four cuts as the shape is not a rectangle. The frame is wider at the bottom and more narrow at the top. Also the top and bottom frames have a bit of a U shape. Wish it was a more simplistic design. Was you center...

    Tempered glass versus plexiglass

    I am sure you know more than me about this. I did some research on how glass is tempered and I think it will remain a mystery. It rained during the night but the dash area was dry but the sun could have evaporated the moisture before I began taking the cover off at 10am. I didn’t find a rock...

    Tempered glass versus plexiglass

    Thanks very much for the info. I wanted to ask if the frame is curved. If so did you heat the plexiglass to bend it or use as is. Thanks
