Hi everyone. I'm replacing the exhaust manifolds and risers on my 2000 260DA. Upon disassembly I noticed the the "water shutters" are completely gone. My assumption is that the boat has run this way for quite awhile, well before I've owned it. Who knows where the pieces went. These are the...

Surprisingly I wasn't able to locate any posts on this matter. I have a 2000 260DA and would like to alert members to an issue they may have as well. If you notice any springy-ness or cracking sounds when you walk over your engine hatch then this may be of interest. Also, if you don't I'd...

Not particularly sure where to post this but hope this is right. I hope to eventually post a listing of all areas of this vintage 260DA that has wood core so people know where to pay attention to. Question here is if anyone knows where on the forward deck the balsa core ends and solid glass...

Hi all, Looking for some help. I noticed a soft spot under the carpet in the cabin of my 260DA yesterday. Not sure if it has been there for a while and I just noticed it or it is new. I may try peeling back the carpet today to see what I find, . I can't find any threads about this...

Searay gurus, I have a year 2000 260 DA (single 5.7 EFI). It has Sierra brand manifolds and risers. I'm attempting to replace the spark plugs and am having some issues. The clearance between the plug and manifold is so close it doesn't allow use of a typical 5/8 plug socket. Is there a trick...

Hi. Looking for advice on trailer winches. I have a 2000 260DA resting on 4 long bunks. The trailer currently has an old electric winch on it that worked for me once but the shop couldn't get it to work for some reason. I'm concerned that if I replace it with a new electric someone will...

I have a 2000 260DA and the aft hatch (accessible from swim step) where the shore power plug is has a strut on it that needs replacing. I'm not certain if it has the original or not. The one that's on there is a Seadog Line 321432. I can't find this one on the internet. Has anyone replaced...

I've owned a 2000 260DA for about a year now. I've noticed that one of the previous owners must have rewired the dash bypassing the fuse box (behind the dash). The box is still there but nothing goes though it now. Everything has inline fuses. Is there any reason why this would have been...

I'm wondering if anyone here has ever switch from a B3 to a B2 kn a 260 Sundancer? I have a 2000 260DA with a B3 (2.20R?) + 5.7 efi engine and am battling the notorious corrosion issues. I understand that the B2 has far less problem with this. I'm wondering if someone has done this...

Hi. Pretty new to the forum and Sundancer ownership. How can you tell when it's time to retire a bravo 3 outdrive. I have a fair bit of corrosion on the cavitation plate and a bit around where the prop meets the lower end. Might have been on somewhat of a hot dock last summer I guess. Was...

Hello members. I have a 2000 B3 outdrive on a 260DA. Only had it for 6 months. The shop is saying the trim cylinders are fairly corroded and leaking a little. Parts are about $650 per side and $137 to install. Is that about the right price? Are there less expensive places to get them or...

Hey folks, I have a 'new to me' 2000 260DA. Finally got a Sundancer. I purchased it last Spring and noticed about mid Summer that the steering would be really stiff when I first start out. It gets a LOT easier (normal) once everything warms up. Any ideas on what would cause that? I...

Hi. I picked up a used 2000 260DA a couple months back and would like to put a tender into it. Where do people store their outboard for such. I have a little 2hp Honda. Just looking for clever places to stow it. TIA

Hi. New to this forum. I'm interested in hearing opinions about the best trailer bunk placement and length for a year 2000 Sundancer 260. The trailer has 4 about 16 foot long bunks. I appreciate any advice.
