Like mine??

I have mine on a Venture VATB 5920 trailer, which is one of the "shortest" aluminum trailers for the 240SD and the overall length of boat and trailer with outdrive raised is just under 31 feet.

I need some help from experienced forum members. I want to change out my steering wheel for a Schmitt stainless steel steering wheel with control knob. Our boat is currently on the coast so I can't get to it to measure before ordering. The Schmitt wheels come with two mounting nut option...

Ughh ... I don't envy you. I went through EXACTLY the same situation in Feb. 2010 with our 2002 340 Sundancer. I was also crushed under a collapsed marina roof but did not sink. Eventually the insurance totaled the boat even though the total repair estimate was "only" $55,000 and the insured...

Ohh my night swimmer .. this was not a winter for the faint hearted ... not even here in NC. We had 0F for a couple of nights. My Venture is rated for 6000 lbs, but with all stuff and gas I am still under 5500 lbs. load. With target bunks, LED lights and guide poles i paid $3200 delivered to...

Did it myself measured bow eye to transom, guessed the height of the bow roller and left the bunks as they were form the factory. then went to get her. Had a local marina load it for me and the boat fit and set PERFECT including weight distribution the way I set the trailer by my measurements...

:smt100 I have looked everywhere but cannot find this measurement to set up the winch post on my Trailer. Sea Ray doesn't show it in my manual. - Can someone please tell me what the BOW EYE to TRANSOM measurement is on the old 240SD (2002 - 2007)? - If someone also can tell me the bunk spacing...

Thank you! Are your bunks straight upright or angled in towards the center? How far are the load surfaces of the bunks apart? The same 40 1/2 inches? Again thank you very much for your help!!

Hi. I was going to see if some of the experienced trailer boaters trailering the "old" 2000 - 2007 240SD here can help me. I just got my new Venture VATB 5925 trailer today and need to set it up. - This is a two bunk aluminum trailer and I want to first make sure the bunks are spaced right. How...

The two beeps that will sound once each minute indicate that the PCM has detected a fault in one of the electronic components. Oil and temp warnings are a constant beep and potential engine shut down. Two beeps each minute and a stalling engine at idle is a sure fire indication that your IAC is...

You also know that MAN is an acronym right and what it stands for?

The best price for OEM MErc I found here http://marineengineparts.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/page486.html Unfortunately the 240SD uses 3 inch risers which makes the whole package much more expensive. This site has the whole enchilada for $1600 incl. shipping

I am helping a friend on the coast to replace his manifolds and elbows on a 2005 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck with a 350MAG engine. The parts are the same as on my 5.0MPI so we need manifolds, two riser spacers and the elbows. can someone recommend a good place to buy these parts onlinde? We found...

??? I wouldn't ask if I didnt need them,right?? With two little kids you dont want all the extra exhaust fumes around the transom on a deck boat and there are SIGNIFICANTLY more without the bellows. Full bellows on a bow rider or deck boat is a no brainer ... unless you are a sniffer ...

Quick question ... what is the hose clamp size for the bravo3 exhaust bellows and are they the same size for the transom and outdrive flange? Thanks!!
