I honestly don't know, serviced by a boat company that deals with all kinds of repairs etc. even big 60 footers. I live 400 miles away from the boat so never see the actual servicing. The company has been managing the boat for six years no problems.
Our 2007 240 Sundeck has performed without problems for the last six years. This year we are experiencing a shift problem. It will shift into reverse normally but when shifting into forward it seems like the gears partially engage then fully engage with increased RPM's. If applying full...
That's the way the bilge system works bow to stern. Possible cause is the bow ice chest which drains directly into the anchor locker. The drain can be plugged with a cork but you still have to get the water out of the ice chest. Check the post "Battle of the Bilge" on 11/04/10 if the ice chest...
Check out he Bimini Top Mod article in sport boats by denwatson. Look at photos one and two. That's a large Cipa clamp on mirror. Easy to remove and install, requires no holes.
Thanks Dennis, The boat is stored inside with a loose cover. I just slip the bag over the mount and loosly tie the two bag handles, plently of air circulating around the mount.. Dennis
Here is an inexpensive way to get some shade on your bow. For use at anchor or in a slip only!! Water and boating are our friends, the sun is our enemy. Get yourself a nine feet diameter umbrella. Keep the umbrella shaft diameter at 1 1/4 inces or less, get the tilt feature, forget crank ups...
Yep everyone just has to have one! The GPS. Next question, after you buy it, where do you install the thing? We don't fish, and we have the depth finder on the dash so for us we just needed a chartplotter. The selection is a personal preference, we liked the Garmin GPSmap 640. It has a...
We love boating, but not the sun. Seems like the whole family spends lots of time at the dermatologist getting burned, cut and biopsied. So the hunt is on for more shade on board. First stop the Bimini top. After studying the Sea Ray top I came up with an plan to extend the top forward. First...
Just did this in my 07 240SD head. West Marine has several faucets that will work. I bought one that is very similar to the bar faucet and had my shipwright install it for $35. You will miss having the sprayer hose to fill your porta potti if you have a pumpout head. I have a length of vinyl...
I had the same problem on my 07 240SD with the bow cooler. It drains directly into anchor locker and subsequently winds up in the bilge. I toyed with the idea of installing a thru hull drain but could not bring myself to drill the hole in the hull. So I plugged the drain hole with a...
I am experiencing what can only be described as "loose or sloppy steering" on my 2007 240 SD, 350MPI, Bravo III. My mechanic says "oh they are all like that". I don't think a boat with 170 hours should have a worn out steering parts. I have seen some blogging about the gimbal being the culprit...
