Thanks Lazy Daze. Do you know anything about Dec-Tec?

I appreciate everyone's input and am still weighing options and have contacted Dec-Tec to see what they have to offer but their website is under construction and can't get much information right now. randmhall, so you are going to go with Seadek but redraw the templates? I'm working off of the...

Looking at putting Seadek faux teak matting on the rear and front swim platforms and maybe the entire deck. Seadeck has patterns for a 2006 240 Sundeck which MAY fit my 2008 240 Sundeck but not sure. Anyone out there have a 240 Sundeck with Seadek matting?

I have 3 questions regarding my Vacu Flush toilet: 1. Water drains from the bowl with no vacuum on it. I know there is an adjustment to tighten the seal clamp but this might interfere with question 2. 2. Flush ball does not return to fully closed position after flushing. I use a mineral...

I'm working on a Springfield bench seat installation and was wondering what is the best way to fasten a seat spider to the seat bottom substrate which is plastic 3/4" thick. The folks at Springfield havn't gotten back with me but a tech at Wise Seats said they use T-Nuts mounted on the top side...

Just lost one on my 240 Sun Deck 3 days ago and found replacements at Schmitt and Sons (the mfg.) at $6.00 each. Here's the contact email address: Cathy Kreider <ckreider@ggschmitt.com>

Marine calcium sulfate based grease. I also have bearing buddies and some grease was released past the pressure discs.

My setup: 2008 240 Sun Deck on a Shorelandr' SLB58T 5,800 lb rated trailer. Boat and trailer weigh in at about 6,800 lbs. UFP Disc brakes on both axles. My brakes have been running hot and found that the pushrod release bracket on the UFP actuator was bent and holding the pushrod in place...

Reach down into the bilge and clean off the transducer and look for the make and model number on the transducer itself. Many of the transducers are made by Airmar and you can go to their website and visually match up what they have with yours. Many times there is a small silver tag wrapped...

I fabricated a transducer housing out of 4" PVC pipe, suspended the transducer in the pipe, filled the pipe with mineral oil, ran the ducer wire through a rubber boot and clamped it to the top of the pipe. The pipe is secured to a flat area in the bilge using only 3M 4200 Fast Cure Adhesive...

Does anybody have any suggestions or experience about how to add a rear facing transom seat to my 2008 240 SunDeck? I am considering a bench seat from Springfield Marine, but am unsure about how to mount it. I would like to be able to sit off the back of the boat, feet resting on swim...

Check out the Shorelandr' SLB58T. It is made specfically for 240 Sun Decks. I have one under my 2008 240 Sun Deck and absolutely love it....the construction, the features,...excellent trailer. Here is a link for this trailer. http://www.shorelandr.com/pages/t_specs.aspx?type=&productID=463

Listed below are two responses I received from Mercruiser on the high oil consumption of my new 2008 350 MAG. In the second reply approval for the use of Mercruiser Full Synthetic 20W40 oil is now indicated. Mercury's website, mercurymarine.com now recommends Mercruiser Full Synthetic 20W40...

This is the response I got from Mercruiser today! The common oil consumption for the 350 V-8 engine is 1 quart for every 9 - 12 hours of operation at cruise rpm or in 10 -12 hours at full throttle. Changing to full synthetic oil will not necessarily change the oil consumption. If you have...

I have about 68 hours on my 2008 240 Sun Deck powered by a 350 Mag/BIII and since the 20 hour break-in oil change I have used about 2 quarts of oil with no evidence of leakage or smoking. Is this normal for an engine with 68 hours on it? This is a new boat I took delivery of in March 2009.
