Yes, I have a 2004 240DA with the exact same stain and marks on top of the interior counsole when it leaks.... On mine over time I also get a small stain in the top roof to the left as you enter the cuddy... So in you picture on mine it's one of the screws holding the windshield down. I have...

Re: 240 Da height when on Trailer Hi thanks Cos_man99 and Islandhopper, I did some plans with a 12' door and in 2 weeks will measure when my boat is on trailer before going up north. Regards, Joel C.

240 Da height when on Trailer Hi, I'm planning for a shed and my boat is already in the water for summer. I searched thread and see info that a 240 DA on a dual trailer is 10'5" to the top of the dash, and need 13' if the bimini's are up. Does anyone that tow's or stores boat happen to know...

The marina guy's are gonna fix it, the trailer is stored there.

Hi Todd, a couple years ago you helped me with some towing questions. This year the prowl pin on the trailer winch broke, which made for fun MacGyvering on the boat landing in Northern Mn. (I bent a hitch pin and jammed it in the gears.) Have you ever fixed or replaced a trailer winch? Any...

Re: Bad switchpad, ECM. Wire in another switch? Hey Dan, I noticed your in Pensacola. Do you have a slip there or know/recommend a good one. I have been thinking about wintering my boat down there when it's not summer here in Minnesota.

Where is best place to get fiberglass/gelcoat repair done? I had my boat up north this past week and when the front came through Thursday Night/Friday the dock it was on rubbed a gouge in the boat.

Todd, thanks alot!

Todd, I had another towing question if you see this before Sat. I'm towing alot further this time, 200 miles. I have E load tires on my Suburban and can take them up to 80psi, What tire pressure do you run when you tow? I have the trailer at max. What tow speed do you average on flat road and...

My winch strap on my trailer broke. I think it was old and dried out. The trailer is a 7000lb load 9000lb trailer. Most of the 2" grey (which is what was on the trailer winch) straps I see have a 5000lb rating. Anyone know if this will be good enough or do I need to find a 7000 - 10000lb strap?

Thanks, I basically did the same thing so ended up within ~1" (which is how fine my hitch can adjust) everything worked out great.

Todd, thanks alot! I have one more question, how did you set your truck/hitch up to ~ level? I have air bags on back springs so was going to measure the hitch and coupler levels when on level ground, drop the hitch to match the coupler and then pump the bags up after the trailer is on the ball...

Hey Todd, what do you do when you tow? Do you tow with canvas cover on or off? Do you remove the bimini tubes or leave them on.... or does it change depending on distance your towing? Any advice appreciated, I'm towing for first time this weekend, about 40miles.

Does anyone know where the cable run is at in a 2004 240da for the remote cable. Radio is a clarion XMD3 and want to find out how hard it is to run an Ipod cable the same route up to the helm.

Have you went to that Movie night thing before? I think it's next weekend... Marine Max puts up a screen a big island for a movie. We were going to try it but was wondering if I need to get an anchor for the stern so the boat doesn't drift around as much.
