Anyone interested in a custom made Sunbrella Bow tent for a 08 240 SD. Look at my photo album for pictures of it. I sold my boat about 4 years ago and just realized I still have the Bow tent. It is in like new condition and has not been used since 2010. It is very well made and would like for...

Ok so I just had a brain fart. I did post pictures of the rain fly installed. I have not seen the boat since last October so everything is kind of fuzzy. Hope to have it transported to it's new home in Wisconsin by the end of this month.

The front of our Bow tent has Velcro so we have easy access to the anchor if it needs to be adjusted. I also use the front opening to make set up easier. I was going to put the windows on port and starboard sides but Tammy recommended putting them forward and aft for better air flow. Simply...

Could not decide where to make this post. Long story short I just relocated from Atlanta area to Kenosha, Wi. I am planning on boating on the Chain O Lakes in Illinois. I would like to know if anyone could recommend a good marina on the the Chain O lakes. I would prefer the northern end of the...

Well it turned out to be a broken cable. So I guess it is just part of the joys of boat ownership. I know things brake but the boat is only a little over 2 years old. MM did really seem to want to offer any help but I really did not expect any. I had the 100 hour service done at the same time...

Yes it is DTS. I did a little research and found a recall for the DTS system for 07 & 08. I never received a letter about it but hopefully it applies to my boat. I went out of warranty in June. I have had the smartcraft gauge, transducer & dts all fail in the last year. I think it might be time...

So yesterday while pulling up to the gas dock I put it in reverse to slow down then went forward again.Well when I put it in the forward position I went backwards.At this point I was close to the dock and another boat was off the port side and to the rear and I was heading straight for it.I...

Ok I feel pretty dumb right about now.I just looked at the 240 parts manual and the insert is listed. Oh well It only took me a couple of phone calls to find the inserts the round about way. I guess the parts guy at MM was just being lazy the day I stopped by to ask about the inserts.

The black plastic inserts in a couple of the ball & sockets for the bimini are worn out after 2 seasons. I have had MM look at it and they told me I would have to replace the ball & socket assy about $50 each. So after a couple of phone calls to the manufacture www.tacomarine.com - I was able to...

I have Corsa thru hull exhaust on my 08 240SD 350 mag B3 and I never use it. I made a couple of runs one moring when the lake was like glass and I gained approx 2 mph at WOT with the thru hull on. So unless you just want the boat to be louder I would not waste the money.

We have these mesh chairs that attach to a large noodle.We have had them for years and really like them.When you are done with them take it off of one side of the noodle and stick in storage.We found ours at Bass Pro for 6 or 7 dollars each.Below is a picture of the chair on a noodle

This link sums it up for Lake Lanier.A little less than 3.5 feet to full pool.It should be fun this weekend dodging all the new obstacles. http://lanier.uslakes.info/Level.asp

My issues have been solved and they were on top of it from the start.I was just so angry I did not see the progress.They always had my boat back to the marina on Friday so I could use the boat on the weekend.Then on Monday they would take it back and continue to diag the problems.It has now been...

I did contact SeaRay about the recall and it did not apply to my boat.

Sorry I never did update the status of the repairs for the water leak.Last July after they removed the Stern-drive and replaced the seals.I did not get a itemized list of items replaced.The water leak for the most part was resolved.I did notice a leak on the starboard still.So when I had the...
