    240 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

    Hi Ike, I too have a dual battery set-up in the same place as yourself but like Chuck I also don’t have any water anywhere near the battery area, infact it’s bone dry. My guess is that is as you say it’s coming from a gap in the corner covers, however that doesn’t help you ! I would tape a...

    What does the sea water temp actually measure ?

    I haven’t actually measured the actual temperatures, but I will as a matter of interest.... As a diver I have often experienced going through the thermocline layers, but not in the UK ! Far too cold for me But at least I know it’s not a sensor around the engine water intake.

    What does the sea water temp actually measure ?

    Hi Guys, We are in the middle of heatwave here in the UK ! One of guauges tells me sea water temp which is great but it says for example the water was 74 degrees F but a bit research tells me the max in June is actually 56 F in June, while I believe the gauge is working properly i.e. it has...

    240 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

    240 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

    Hi, So here is where I think I might be going wrong, sorry the boat is 90 miles away so I can’t check ! I can’t see the bottom of the anchor locker where the water is, I suspect there is a drain hole at the bottom that is blocked. The drain I see on the right of the locker, just above the water...

    240 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

Of course I will clear the water out...

    Thanks Guys you solved a few storage mysteries for me I went out in my 240 Sundeck with my old crew from when we were running tiny 15ft Fletcher Bravos with a screaming Mercury 60 outboards. The Guys couldn’t believe the space and luxury by comparison! The seals and dolphins we saw yesterday...

    Dock Ramp Ediquitte

    I know us English are famous for our politeness, but I don’t understand all these stories that start with ‘and then I watched the Guy start applying 3 coats of machine wax while still on the ramp, it took 5 hours’ I’m afraid I would simply ask the owner to shift his boat before it got to the 2nd...
