Thanks for the suggestion. I try troubleshooting next week when I get back. I don't think it's a remote issue since it works when powered by the SUV battery.

This is a real headscratcher, I sincerely hope someone can help. This is really, really weird; and a long story that I will make a lot shorter by leaving out a whole lot of troubleshooting steps already taken that don't matter anymore. 2002 260 Sundancer w/a bow mounted Golight wireless remote...

Yep I've got the prop shaft anode so I'll get the newer kit. Thank you for the help!

Hello, I am third owner of a 2002 Sundancer with a Bravo III outdrive that looks to have a newer lower unit that must have been replaced at a later time. So it may be an older and newer "hybrid" Bravo III unit. It's time for me to get new zincs. Everywhere I look online for anodes they state...

I did find my manual and it does state their is a red/green LED indicator which must be the little circle to the right of the "up to 480 amps hours per day" signage on the front. It does not light which means I need to track why the unit is not getting power next time I'm on the boat. Could be a...

Dangit I can't find my voltmeter; guess I'll have to buy a new one. In the meantime I checked a little bit today. The charger has a meter and is showing that it is not charging while on shore power. I don't see any inline fuse so maybe it has an internal one but I don't see how to...

We can draft down to 2 ft with the outdrive lifted to upper running range, and just looking for overnight. Thank you for the help; we plan to check these spots out when we go down next weekend!

Thanks for all of the replies/help. I will be at the boat tomorrow to diagnose and hopefully fix the issue. Thanks again!

Thanks. If my charger is on the battery side of the switch then it may be bad or have a loose/corroded connection. I'll check that out next week.

We've anchored at Jewfish Key/Longboat Pass before and it was nice, though the current is fairly strong. We're looking to go farther south into Sarasota next time just for a change of pace. I just looked at Marina Jacks webpage but saw no mention of the mooring field. We might check that when...

Neither. Dry stack at a marina; I don't like the idea of wet slipping the outdrive in the salt water full time and the maintenance headaches that would result.

Last weekend, I found out that shore power is not charging my battery. 120v, lights/frig, and A/C converter switchs were all turned on the main panel. While on shore power Friday night, I had the battery switch turned to "2", running air conditioner, frig, and left the engine bilge blower fan...

We are thinking of an overnight trip down to Sarasota and asking for current info on the anchorages in the area. I looked at Active Captain and most of the posts seem to be a few years old. Does anyone have suggestions for a good place to set the hook there? We have a dog and will need to be...

Oops really long delay reply LOL. Michael I don't think we will get around to it this year, hoping for next year.

We dry stack at Little Harbor Marina in Ruskin just south of Apollo Beach and they had the most reasonable rates when we brought our boat in last year but they are raising rates in June. Probably other marinas are too. They have wet slips available and would be worth considering.

... now my turn for another thread drift. I have a Lewmar windlass and need the handle that inserts into the top to tighten the unit. I have searched far and wide for one and all of the ones online are listed as winch handles not windlass handles. Are those the same? Can I buy a winch handle and...

Regarding fender storage, our 260 came with the baskets up front on both sides but they blocked way more of my front view than I liked so I removed them (BTW, 8.5" fenders are plenty big for this boat). What I did was tie fender lines to both ends of the fenders and attach both the top and...

I also have a 260 and live in the Tampa area. Who did your upholstery work?

Wait, what? You can go from Stuart to Ft Myers by boat?
