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...

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...

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...

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 recently purchased a 1997 240DA. I need to tow it home to RI from central NJ, about 250 miles. The boat is on a newer trailer (2001 tandem axle w/disc brakes). I plan to rent a pick-up truck to do this. Enterprise has an F-150 available for about $75/day including mileage. I figure gas and...

Been looking for a Garmin 54cv GPS. I am NOT a fisherman so I plan on getting one w/o the transducer. Has anyone purchased a "Refurbished" GPS? Lots of them available. Are they worth taking a chance? Or just buy new for the extra dollars? Also, anyone know of the best place to buy one?

I have been looking for a 240 Dancer for over a month and have found the perfect one! Owner has $$$ and it shows in that the boat looks 2 years old, not 20 yrs old! It is so clean and in perfect condition I am wondering if he just put lipstick on a pig. I have made arrangements for a through...

Well, by now most of you know I am fixing up a 1997 240 Sundancer. The last issue I think there is with this boat is the fresh water hose that runs from the water pump in the engine compartment up to the sink in the cabin. This blue plastic line runs on top of the fuel tank and connects to a...

I purchased a 1997 240 DA in March and have been working on it ever since. Today is launch minus 2 days so I started the cleaning process. When suddenly....Can you believe it? The idiot PO actually used that vinyl spray paint to paint every seat in the boat:smt021. I discovered this today...

I have replaced and/or moved all of the instuments and switches on my dash panel. I know a bit about circuits, but just enough to confuse me! My question... After wiring the gauges together (Black for grnd, blue (+) for lights, purple for "i" terminal I had a direct connection to ground in...

So, I want to replace the porta-potti in my recently purchased 1997 240 Dancer. What is the preferred type of flush system? Electric battery powered push the button to flush (I'm not sure how this one works) or the "pump up the water pressure and push the button" type. Which flush system is...

My 1997 240 Dancer is in dry dock in my yard. I live in the north east. We had nearly 3" of rain the past few weeks. I had the boat covered with a tarp while I was working on it and the 22' tarp fell short at the bow and made a perfect chute for the rain water to run down from the windshield...

OK.... Here we go! I purchased a "Handyman Special" 1997 240 DA w/ 5.7 260 HP, Alpha 1. Got it for a very good $$$$ (well below 5 figures w/ trailer) knowing that it needed a few things. Some important (bottom paint needs to be done), some not so much important (boat is FILTHY with smelly...

I mean no disrespect to anyone who started a topic dedicated to a specific model of Sea Ray, but posting a topic such as "Official 240 Sundancer thread" or "Official 330 Sundancer thread" and the like within the main topic thread of "Sport Cruisers" makes the subjects posted to these dedicated...

I know this door slide/rollers issue has been discussed before, but I wanted to bring it up again because I will be replacing my very stuck door slides in a few weeks. I promise to take step-by-step pictures as I know this is a recurring issue for many on this forum. My question goes out to...
