My Chris Craft cabin cruiser has a Guest 2620 battery charger with a selector switch ( 1, 2, All, Off ). <br /> When we bought the boat there was not any literature for the charger - now we are having some problems and need to know what it means when both the red & green LED's are on for both...
I can get a Goodwrench engine from a GM dealer for a few hundred bucks over the cost of a rebuild - are there any issues with getting an new engine that was originally meant for a 1985 GMC van and putting in my boat (1985 Chris Craft 260 with cracked 305).<br /><br />cm
Hockey season is now over for the Calgary Flames and so boating season is here (finally).<br /><br />I have just brought my boat (25' Chris Craft) back from it's first outing of the year. I decided to take it to a small lake first for a short trial run. I had done the winterization work myself...
I have just purchased a 'previously enjoyed' 10 HP Merc outboard. It is a model 110 with a Thunderbolt ignition - probably late 70's or early 80's(?). The only # I can see is 7008080. We want to use it as a back up/trolling motor on our 26' Chris Craft.<br /><br />I do not have a manual but...
I have bought a new GMC Duramax to tow my boat and also my motorcycle trailer (Haulmark Enclosed). Both are new trailers with factory wiring but neither of the trailer's lights work properly with the factory wiring on the new truck!<br /><br />Are GM's different than Fords/Dodges? Any ideas?
Our 1985 Chris Craft 260 had the head and tank replace last year (before we bought it) but it looks like they did s#@!&y job of it. We have spent many hours disinfecting and cleaning the front bilge area because of the leaky black water tank!!! <br /><br />We flushed the tank out, filled it...
I had a mechanic at a boat shop ask me what type of hull was on my 1985 26' CC 260 (same as 253) and I told him I thought it was a semi-planing hull. The survey we had done before we bought it called it a "modified V". What is the correct term for the style of hull on the CC 260?<br /><br...
We have just bought a 1985 26' CC with a Merc (GM 305). We use it in southern B.C. at an elevation of about 2500'.<br /><br />We are having some power issues (or lack of power issues maybe). <br /> The boat will do about 20 mph flat out at a max RPM of about 3500 - most of the time only about...
Is there such a beast as a 1982 Saratoga with an aft-cabin? <br />I've done searches and all I find are 1970's boats. I also have the .pdf PowerBoat Mini Guide which has boats from 1980 on and it is not in there either.<br />If they were made does anyone have any pictures or know where to find...
I am looking into buying a 1981 Chris Craft 253 with an OMC drive. There is a reputation that OMC has and after doing a search here I have more information but not for the pre 1989 models.<br /><br />Am I asking for troubles with the older OMC or are the problems not manufacturing related?
After the 'Boatless In Seattle' incident (1974 SeaRay fixer upper) I have decided to spend a bit more and get a decent running boat.<br /><br />I am looking at a 1981 Chris Craft 253 Express. Price seems good and it looks, from pictures, clean and well maintained. Are there any Captains here...
