Unfortunately, they do, at least on the 260. Mine came with them, and after blowing out a couple of pistons, I switched to 280s k-planes. Huge difference.

I can't figure out why a $70 - 80K boat doesn't come standard with them. By the time I had all the work done, I'm sure it cost me a lot more than if they came with the boat.

Buy my 32!!! It is a 2001 dominator with twin 454s. The boat is located in miami fl. Options include signature graphics, macloud interior, captains call, and $1500 upgraded stereo. Colors are purple, yellow and orange. The boat also has a 2 year extended warranty from Mercruiser. I will sell for 74,900 which is by far, the lowest price 2001 32 twin dominator anywhere!!! I can be reached at 305-785-7677 or [email protected]

you spent 1500 bucks in a stereo upgrade but don't have external steering???

It did not have it when i bought the boat. At the price i am selling it for, you can afford to have it put on!!!
