A few years ago while scalloping in Crystal River Fl, our 2006 240 SD displayed similar symptoms it was the IAC ( Idle Control ) valve on the fuel injection. But my mechanic said he saw the fault on his scan tool. I'm sure that Marine Max scanned the computer for fault codes.

We travel with our boat alot. Some trips 700 miles or more one way. We have learned to carry just about anything needed to repair the rolling gear on the trailer. I have a spare mounted on the trailer. We keep a cover on it to prevent dryrot from uv rays. I carry a small floor jack came from...

I just had to replace the ladder on our 240SD...the origional ladder was fine when we purchased the boat but after having some maintenence done on the boat the ladder was tucked under the swim platform somewhat. I pulled it off and the backside was bent! I guess the mechanics used it out of the...

Most don't do anything, some install a flush system on the raw water lines and use a hose at the dock to flush with fresh water. These systems allow you to flush the internals. A friend has it on his 280 Sundancer that stays at his dock on the ICW most of the year.

Thanks for the info. I called an authorized mercruiser shop they are gonna check it out Tuesday. Hopefully he will have me up and runnning by the weekend.

:smt100Last week in Florida on vacation we were running out and got an engine alarm that says "Check Engine" on the smart craft gauge. There is no indication as what to check. The oil is fine, full level and not milky psi is normal. Shes not running hot at all temp is runnning normal water psi...
