Will do!

Yikes! I only have a little 240DA Sundancer! I do not have multiple MFD displays, autopilot, heading sensors, radar, AIS transponders, etc. Maybe I better read alot more about this subject before plunging into buying all that extra equipment! I will buy a new VHF radio today though.

Yeah Lazy Daze, I agree. And since the boat is currently on the trailer in my driveway, I will buy some wire and a circuit breaker and wire it in correctly!

OK, I found that the battery charger is a newer ProMariner model. There is no switch in the "AC Converter" position on the main panel, but there is a switch for the AC outlets. This switch was "off" and when I turned it on, the charger came to life and is now charging the batteries! Thanks all.

WOW.... I feel so uninformed about the new technology. I was away from boating for many years and did not read my GPS owner manual past the first few pages on how to hook it up! The VHF radio that came with my boat is very old and is very basic. It does NOT have a distress button. I will head to...

Batteries were checked during the survey also. They were found to be one season old and in very good, servicable, condition as well. I will look for a breaker on the service panel as suggested.... Thanks.

I have my boat in my driveway with an adapter for the shore power plugged into my 110v house current. The voltage on the AC panel reads 110v. When I turn the key on, the VOLT gauge always reads 11.6 volts. I've had the battery charger checked out during the survey and it was reported to be...

I rented my first floating slip for my 240DA. What is the best way to tie up to a floating dock? The slip has one finger pier (port) that extends out about 20 feet and is secured to a piling there. Then there's one piling (starboard) across from the port piling at the end of the port side finger...

OK! Thanks!

I just received my new Garmin 54cv Chartplotter. The instructions do not address the wiring harness! My question is about the blue and tan wires in the harness. It is obvious the red and black are positive and ground, but the on-line install instructions say the blue and tan wires are for adding...

Hi Dennis, I had my 240DA on blocks this spring while rebuilding/replacing the instruments in the panel. I threw a tarp over the cockpit area when a heavy rain storm was fast approaching. The tarp fit from over the transom and went forward to just short of the anchor locker. So the tarp was up...

Well, I've got the boat in my driveway.... final cost to bring it here myself was ..... One day rental from Enterprise: F-250 diesel Super Duty with all insurance coverages, $20 towing surcharge and unlimited miles: $115. Diesel fuel for 486 miles @$3.15 gallon: $105. Tolls: NJ Turnpike, Garden...

Ha Ha! OK, Here is the boat on the trailer, behind the F-250. We stopped in the last rest stop on the Garden State Parkway, Northbound to check the tires, lights and bearings before we headed across the new Tapan Zee Bridge....

WOW! Great answer!! Thank you very much! You just saved me some $$$.. I will stay with the aluminum prop and when I fix the tach (got one on order) I'll check that the engine reaches correct RPM for cruise and WOT. If the RPMs are within limits, I'm staying with the aluminum prop that came with...

The 240DA I just bought has the 5.7l Alpha, 260 HP carborated engine with the Alpha l gen. 2 outdrive. It was sold to me with a three blade aluminum prop. The propeller does not look new, but maybe it was painted because there is no paint scuffes off the blades?? I cannot see any markings on it...

Try using some slightly watered down Dawn dish detergent in a spray bottle. Ajust the spray nozzle to a stream and spray the slide tracks on the door top and bottom. Let it stand for an hour or so then use a hose at full power or a power washer on the tracks to clean them off. When they are dry...

I just purchased a 1997 Sea Ray 240DA. Did this model come from the factory with a Galvanic Isolator?? Do I need one if I do not run the shore power? If it has one, where would it be located?

I did. I took the cabin door off of my previous 240 to replace the plastic slides with a roller system (huge undertaking! Had to remove the helm!). The door is a solid piece of 3/4" plywood sandwiched between two layers of 1/8" fiberglass. Drill away! BTW... The 1997 240 DA I just purchased has...

Point well taken, Cliff. Being that the CO monitors are not that expensive and the grandkids will be on board alot, I will definately install them!
