Done - thanks. I now return you to your original thread topic ... Stuart

OK, so this whole Bravo III corrosion thing is really starting to make me nervous. Is the problem isolated to the Bravo III's? I understand that electrolysis and corrosion can happen to any metal objects left in the water but this all seems to be rather extreme. Are the Alphas and Bravo II's...

Fortunately I already have a Dodge Ram 3500 with a high output Cummins turbodiesel (325 HP, 600 lb-ft of torque) so the tow vehicle's good to go. I want the flexibility to get the boat out of the water and out of harm's way whenever a hurricane heads in our direction because our neighborhood...

Jeff, So with the mercathodes (and I assume the anodes) what sort of preventative maintenance is required? Do you have to go in the water to inspect them periodically? It might get a bit cold where you are in the upper Bay in January or February! That said we're planning to get a...

Thanks for the feedback. I assume that by 'correct anodes' you mean the correct type for the water in our marina, i.e. fresh vs. brackish?

A very interesting and timely thread - my wife and I are also looking at a 2000 260 Sundancer. This one has the 7.4 MPI and the Bravo III. The only area of concern with the boat is the Bravo III which is rather corroded and slated for replacement before the sale. So my question is if we...

This reminds me of the first time coming back to our marina in our 'new to us boat' some years ago. I had the usual butterflies, but they got huge when I realized that there was a full crowd on the drinking terrace with a clear view of the docks - we were going to be their entertainment for the...

I would like to see some kind of model comparison chart that shows when the various models were built and what the general specifications were ... pictures would be great and floorplans would be even better. See http://www.iphomeport.com/index.php?categoryid=13 for an example of how this has...

I might recommend either http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/10001/-1/10001/59615/10001/12510/11002/16 or...

I'd suggest a realistic review of the First Aid kit to make sure that it's actually useful and not just for show; if necessary buy yourself a real one since you never know when you might be miles from nowhere and need help. You can also add the following items to your list : 1) Certificate...

Thanks to everyone for their responses - there's a lot of good info here that we'll keep in mind as we search for our next hole in the water ... Cheers, Stuart

I had a similar problem when de-winterizing our RV (a 26' Holiday Rambler) this past spring ... no matter what I tried the ShurFlo 5.7 VSD pump wouldn't fully prime. It pushed water through the system but was drawing air from someplace and just wouldn't settle down to its normally very smooth...

My wife and I are in the market for a 240 Sundancer, ideally something around the 2000 model year based on our $ budget. Were there any major design changes around that time that we should know about? I mean if we go a year or two newer and get a fully re-designed boat then maybe it's worth...

I'm sure that there will be more than a few opinions on this topic but I did a search and didn't see anything on point. My wife and I are seriously in the market for a 240 Sundancer, most likely a 2000 model year +/-. We're looking at a number of boats in our area (southern Chesapeake) and...
