The trailer that came with the boat we purchased last July has the E-Z Lube (also called Posi-Lube) system. These have the rubber plugs in the dust caps that you remove to get to the zerk fitting that is pressed into the end of the spindle. The grease exits the spindle in the back by the seal...

The rubber molding that is in the engine compartment in our 260ss that protects the table when it's stored has come off. I don't want to just use glue to put it back in place. Does anyone have suggestions on what to use? Thanks

The previous owner of the 1999 260ss we purchased in July said he had not used the water system; however, I want to make sure we don't have a problem. I have not seen any kind of bypass hose where you can pull anti-freeze up into the pump. On our previous boat, the water tank was in the engine...

We just bought a 1999 260 SS that's in great shape but does have some small things that need replaced. I'm looking for items like the little rubber bushings that are used to cushion the sink and cooler lid and where the transom door closes. Also need to replace the latch that secures the ski...

We just purchased a 1999 260ss with a MerCruiser 7.4 MPI in it. It has the thread attachment on the dipstick tube for sucking the oil out of the engine. In years past, I remember using a hand pump with a brass body and rubber ends for this on my dad's boat and it was a freaking mess. What...

We've twice now had wet carpet in the cabin in our "new to us" 260ss. Yesterday I discovered there's a little access panel right next to the step up against the bulkhead. This panel is approximately 4 inches by 8 inches covering a small compartment. Anyway, it's obvious this is part of the...

We just purchased a 1999 260ss. My question may seem silly but how do other hang fenders, specifically, the aft fender? Hanging the forward fender off the rail is no big deal but there doesn't seem to be a good way to hang an aft fender. I tied the fender to the bottom of the frame for the...
