One last comment on your above usage. I don't know if Sea Rays are immune from hull "hook" which can occur on trailered boats that don't have the bunks past the transom during periods of on trailer storage. "Hook" is when the hull just in front of the transom can get a bow in it and add a...

I posted to give reference to where tandem axles were located roughly on a similar boat. The trailers are totally different as far as bunks and how they are positioned but the weight in relation to the axles should be similar. As Lazy Daze mentioned there seems to be more room to move forward...

That year 240 is 400# heavier than my 250. 5600# dry for that 240, trailer looks to small for any safe handling IMO.

This is my 250SD on tandem aluminum trailer.

edited my post with pic, aluminum.

Check out EZ loader as well, has been under my 96 250 for six years. just another brand to look into. IMHO great trailer.

i've had the Garboard drain let water in when it was slipped. Next time your boat is out of the water you may want to remove and reseal it with tape or dope. Just a thought.

Bulletin No. 2004-05R1, here is the mercruiser bulleting number.

https://www.mercruiserparts.com/Attachment/DownloadFile?downloadId=2 this service bulletin offers up three possible replacements for bad fuel pumps if you haven't found something yet.

Considering the amount of storage space on our 250DA (or lack of) i have a pair of Kermitt chairs from my days on 2 wheels. They breakdown into 22"x6" bag, but are quite comfortable for lounging. Mostly Oak, but come in some other hard woods. Styled like a Directors chair I would say.

I to just added a garmin to my 250 da. I found the 73sv on sale for $499 regularly 799. It does allow for the fish finder transducer to be used if you were so inclined. Difference between 94 and 73 is screen size only I believe but the 73 is on sale still.

MO99 is a direct replacement for R22 as well. Not sure about its cost today.

Well, how embarrassing. I took a day to get out from under my rock and read some of the posts I made. Man I was really hung up on those wheels turning. What's sad is I know better or did at one time. I spent 10 years back in the 70's and 80's working on the flight controls and landing gear of...

I believe I have I've seen the error in my thoughts and stand corrected. I was hung up on the wheel touching the ground as some of you have explained. Over and out.

Are you implying that the wheels speed is irrelevant to the aircrafts movement. Not possible. The main thing to overcome with flight here is gravity which in fixed wing craft requires ground speed to get air flow over the wings correct? Your implying that the plane is some how able to move on...
