Or what about a bulb size so I can just order a replacement led on line?
-
I purchased a used 2006 - 268SS with the optional Corsa Exhaust. Can anybody tell me where the switch is located to switch from loud to quiet? I have tried all the ACC toggle switches and nothing. THANKS!!!Ours is ACC switch. Either the last one or 2nd to last.

The courtesy lights are distributed by Optronics (used to be Ramco/Liteco Ind.) and the part number is 24077-65 LITE-WHT and the phone number is 800-826-5483, ask for Rita....Thanks but they only sell in bulk. I was looking to swap out the fixtures with chrome, red led ones but I cant seem to find a close replacement. Got any suggestions?

Looks good Ron!! Sorry but I forgot to take pics of the subs but I will next time. Had a few issues with our lake house (septic system) that had me side tracked.
-
Thank you for the pictures! I look forward to seeing the sub install. Are you happy with their location and sound?I received pictures of the boat with the Samson Tower installed, speakers are on the floor for shipping.
What are you getting for top speed/RPM? Cruise Speed/RPM and do you know your props pitch?
Anthing I should know about before I go on MY maiden voyage with her???? Any advise is appreciated.
Havent looked at the props, but we are getting around 4900 rpm's and 56mph on the speedo. Havent gps'd it but I would guess it to be in the 53-55 range wot. The midrange is awesome. I'm cruising at 35-40 before I realize it. Be careful of the tabs as they are recessed if you trailer or store on a lift. I left one just a touch down and it has caused a leak that I have yet to repair (messy bilge!). It seemed to ride much more on top of the water than the chaparrals I owned. All in all a very good riding boat. Handles fairly well around the docks for a single engine this size. A few little things in the design I would like to see changed. 1. aft ski locker should clear the bench seat when raised. as it is to fully open the locker you have to raise the back seat up just a bit. 2. I would like the port side ice chest area to be enclosed (this is just a personal preference) 3. a handle on the ladder like my chaparral had. no real good place to grab.
As for the stereo, I like the sound and am pretty happy with it. Subs hit well for free air and it was pretty easily accessible. I will get better pics this weekend. I also added the Ipod controller and the new sirius (dont ask why its new) equipment so I could control everything from the kenwood remotes.
Congrats and enjoy the heck out of it!

Here are the amps under the corner seat where the battery switch is located. Close to to batteries and on same side as head unit.

If you have a chance, could you please send me pics of your installation! Did you upgrade the original 4 speakers? I was to pick up the boat this past Sat, however Samson had not finished the tower. So this Saturday it is.... I HOPE!!How do you like your 268?? What engine/drive option do you have? This boat has the Penta 8.1 GXi 420h.p.
Love our boat! Rides great in pretty big water (Lake Texoma). We have the Merc 496 mag w/bravo 3. Yes I upgraded all the 6.5's with polk momo's and actually added 2 in the starboard walkthru area, so those on the sun pad could hear.

HI... I am about to take delivery of a 2002 268s with 43hrs. The boat is currently at Samson Sports having a custom reverse arch installed with double 7's speaker package. They are also doing the amp install. When I get the boat I will let you know where they placed the amp. As well I will also be looking to install a sub. So I am also interested in where to place it.Love to see pics Ron. But it wont help me much as I've got mine done. 2 alpine pdx amps in the area where the battery switch is located. Also installed 2 kicker 10in subs under the port side seat flushed mounted so we can still use the cooler area if we choose.

MOST sent me the parts number some time ago but I cant seem to find it now. Does anyone know which bulbs I use to replace the courtsey lights in my 2006 268ss? thanks
-
Congrats and nice ride. Where will you be boating?
looks like we have some OU people in here..Purchased a 2003 245 on Saturday... I also went to OU, and currently live in Moore, OK.
-
still haven't found it. by looking at it as close as I can it sure looks like it pulls water from the fresh water tank. Maybe the seal is bad on the pump???
Forward section of the aft ski locker? or the ski locker in the bow area that has the screw out "lid" for access under the liner? btw it is a bowrider so not sure that I would have a shower sump. thanks I will look tomorrow when we get to the lake. -

Inside the ski locker (forward section) you will see a small square hatch...inside that compartment is the shower sump, foward bilge pump and the toilet seacock. The seacock is made of Marlon and if it has not been moved in a long time it can be hard to get it to turn for the first time. Marlon is very tough- but do not use excessive force (such as a hammer!) as you can possibly break the handle off..... Just work it little by little and it will loosen. -
Having trouble getting my head to pump. It makes a sucking sound when pumping it but no water in bowl. Someone suggested that the seacock was closed but I cant seem to find it. I think I have looked in all of the reachable places. Any help would be appreciated.
Boat is a 2006 268ss
thanks

Here is our 06 268ss.

I would like to add A factory wakeboard tower to my 2003 montura 228SI, any suggestions?I was told it could be done to my 06 268ss. Got the part number on this forum. Good luck
-
Me too. Can you order the new ssx decals? My hull looks great but the vinyl stripe didnt fare so well.
-
MOST- Am I missing it? or did my rig only have the system in the engine compartment? Ususally there is one right by drivers chair.
-
I have the fire extin. system but I dont see any other ones on board. Do I need more or is the sysytem enough? 268ss
-
ANyone done any upgrades to a 268ss? Looking for pics of sub and amp locations. Thanks
-
. However, the ski tow ring on that boat is designed for water skiing only. It is not intended for wakeboarding, tubing or pulling any other object behind the boat.Is this true for this model only or all models? Seems like the popularity of wakeboarding and tubing would make it a necessity for those eyelets to support it. Does anyone still ski???
-
That is correct, there have not been any changes to the hull of the 268 Super Sport (bowrider or the Cuddy version) since it's creation.Thanks
-
You the same one that's on Lake Pirates? If so, pretty boat! I don't know for sure, but don't believe that have been any hull changes since at least '02?Yep thats me! Thanks. I didnt think there were any changes, but its better to be safe. Cant wait for spring!!
-
I am ordering a trailer for a used 06 268 ss. The company has the boat info but it is from 04. Have there been any changes to the hull on the 268ss since 2004? And will there info be accurate, sure dont want a trailer that doesnt fit.
thx

Can you add the factory arch to an 06 268ss that wasnt ordered with one?

We have a 268 with a 496 mag. The 320hp will depend what you want to do in it and with how many people, IMO. I will say that Ive never had a problem getting on plane with a boat full of people and gear/ice chests.
