I don't recall the gph, but was only looking at maybe 5 mist nozzles since I was going to try to make it portable and easy to clip into the top frame. I don't think I would want to use the fresh water pump for a system like this. It probably is not designed for continuous duty. The company...

We keep our boat at Chickamauga Marina (Sea Ray dealership) at the upstream side of the Chickamauga Dam in Chattanooga. We do most of our boating on the reservoir above the dam. Plenty of boating space from there all the way to the next dam upstream, Watts Bar. Downstream of the Chickamauga dam...

Found this website that sells misters for installation on boats. The mist is supposed to cool the area misted by around 25 degrees. Has anyone tried this? I'd be curious what you guys think....good idea or not for a 240 Sundeck? Would love to be a little cooler in the heat of the summer...

Not sure what type of battery set-up you have but, when we first splashed last year one of the three batteries was dead even though the marina charged my batteries when de-winterizing...turned out to be a tripped breaker between the charger and the battery. Reset breaker and lo and behold...the...

Re: Water depth I agree with Chuck. I set my depth alarm at 10 ft. and do not like getting much less that 8 ft. Love my sundeck too much to mess her up. Also....had an experience in deep water where I hit some trash just below the surface early last season. Cost me about $2800 for a new...

Congrats on your first Sea Ray...we love our 240 SD too. My wife and I love cruising the lake here!

Congrats!! We love our 240 SD!! Time to get out and enjoy....

Thanks guys...I always appreciate advice here!

Need some advice about fenders.... What size and type of fenders do you guys use on your 240's. I have varied sizes and am going to replace them all with same type and size. Also any advice on attaching them when you need them would certainly be appreciated. Still learning the fundamentals.....

Mine got stuck in forward last month, but was only couple hundred yds from marina. Coasted into dock and had service look it over. Not sure what caused it but my upper gear set destroyed itself. Hope this is not the case for you. Cost me 2700 bucks.

Temps here have been mid 90s- 100 with high humidity and surface temp about 90...WHEW. We have been going out some in the afternoon for a cruise (keepin the breeze going) and swimming. The worst part is getting the boat ready to get off the dock and then getting her ready to put up.

We boat on the Tennessee River, mostly on Chickamauga Reservoir. Fairly large with lots of boat traffic. I imagine VHF radios on maybe 50% of boats which would most likely be cruisers. Leaning to HH475 for now. I like the idea of the compactness and blue tooth capability. The blue tooth is...

Welcome to boating! Have done all those, more, and still learning. Relax and take it all in stride. Its all worth it. Taking a safe boating class is a great idea. Even if you can't attend in person, there are some excellent online courses that are free and provide tons of great info. In...

This sounds familiar....some boaters who don't know rules, etiquette, or simple courtesy. We run into them all the time in our area too. I am trying to focus on not letting it ruin my day anymore (too many of them). It isn't worth letting them get to me. I do what I have to do to be safe and...

OK....I am convinced it is a prudent investment. Thanks guys...I always appreciate the experienced and mostly wise advice! :thumbsup:

Saw a product advertised on Ship Shape TV show. It was called Proaction Cleaning Systems. It is supposed to get rid of all those kinds of smells like mildew. Haven't tried it yet myself though so can't speak from experience. website is www.buyproaction.com

By all means go to a dealer and look them over in person. Get on the boat and imagine family and friends on board. The is what my wife and I did when we were shopping and weren't sure what we wanted. When we went aboard the Sundeck we both knew it was the one for us. You just have to decide what...

We keep the boat at Chickamauga Marina(Erwin Marine). Great folks there. We have yet to use locks but hope to someday. There was a fishing boat vs. barge event a couple of weeks ago here and lost the two guys in the boat, one survivor. Survivor said they never saw it coming!

We boat on the TN River on a 240 Sundeck. I have read about folks who have VHF radios. I absolutely see the need on big open water but am wondering about the potential need on smaller lakes like ours. Was considering a Cobra HH 475 handheld that also has bluetooth and Weatherband. Bluetooth...

We fish from our boat quite often when we take a break from skiing, kneeboarding, and just cruising. The shop at our marina rigged a mount for a trolling motor on the front that is not obtrusive at all and the 71 lb thrust trolling motor works great. The trolling motor stores easily in the...
