Great advice, i just cant put back in lake this season. My ramp is already closed. Doing my best to clean out now and have a smooth spring launch but that may not happen now :(

I hear ya on no sympathy for engine access lol. Its my 2nd boat and first was way easier so guess im spoiled. Will take off t stat housing and look. Not sure what model of fuel cooler but it is on port side before water distribution housing and water circulating pump. Looks more like a box...

Had all the hoses off thermostat housing i didnt see any debris there. Taking the cowl off did help with front access around water pump but still horrible access to sides of engine especially down by block. Im a bigger guy. So I’m confident intake up to power steering cooler on the back is...

If i backflush from the T housing will it flow back through the check valve upstream from cool fuel box?

I dont have a heat exchanger but that diagram helps. That inline device appears to be a check valve before the cool fuel box. Wondering if impeller bits could be stuck in check valve. The hoses appear to be crimped onto the check valve, not sure i can get them off.

I have a shredded impeller. I definitely haven't found all pieces but not sure where i should look. So far i have the hose from the raw water pump to power steering cooler off and its clear, found some pieces. That hose on PS cooler was pain in the ass to get off so not sure what best spot to...

Thanks for the advice. Marina has completed compression check and was good on all cylinders, no signs of water in the oil, and had it out on the water two weekends before it hit Marina and temp never went over normal range. considering all that i asked my shop if they could do a repair with JB...

My luck keeps coming up empty but learning some good lessons. Marina lifted engine today to start repairs on transom replacement and sent me pictures of cracks in my block. After going through paperwork I have evidence these cracks were present since 2018. From pictures can you tell if these are...

Just bought a new portlight from Bomar to install on starboard side. When it arrived i was a little confused on how to install. Ive called bomar several times and finally got someone to send me what they consider install instructions for a different portlight model and the four sentences with no...

Thanks for all the replies. Boat is currently at mechanic so i will have to wait until its back to investigate.

Recently bought a 2004 sundeck 240. In the bag of random junk that came with the boat I found this item. Looked like it may be important. Anyone know what this is or used for? Pitch or keep? thanks

I have a full camper enclosure (blue)for a 2004 Sea Ray Sundeck 240 if any one is interested. Shoot me a price and see if we can make a deal.

Appreciate the feedback and suggestions. This is my first sterndrive boat, I've always owned inboard ski boats. So the tips on outdrive maintenance are appreciated. I'm settling on the fact the transom kit is probably the way to go as the previous owner clearly neglected this part of the boat...

Just purchased a 2004 sea ray sundeck 240 with mx6.2 mpi and bravo III. I had a pre inspection done by mobile marine mechanic. During inspection he noted excessive side to side play 10-12”. And that the trim cylinders would need replaced as caps had broken off and water penetration had likely...
