Thank you for clearing that up for me. It wasn't until I looked at the gunwalls again to realize you cant access them from inside.
The screw hole brackets already have a chamfer. Do think chamfered the holes on the fiberglass would still be necessary?
This looks exactly what we are trying to do on our 340 DA. I bought the Taylor Made pole sockets and want to install them like you did. Did you use a mounting bracket on the underside? I fear without it the stress from the shade will crack the fiberglass.
Got it, thanks for the instruction. No manuals or any other documentation came with the boat, so its been difficult to figure stuff out. Still can't get the DVD player to turn on, but one thing at a time I suppose.

New to me 2006 DA 340, trouble figuring out how some of this stuff works. Small Flatron TV next to stove in cabin. I'm pretty sure it unlocks, extends and swivels, but I can't seem to get it to unlock. Anyone know how this works?
Thanks for the reply, looks like we have the same boat! Wonder why they left it in the aft cabin like that...
I was also wonder where the galley table storage was, now I know!
We are now the proud(and a bit scared) owners of a 2006 Sundancer 340. Big upgrade from our 1993 240 Overnighter.
So we are going through the boat and investigating all the stuff leftover from the previous owners and found this. Look like some kind of bulkhead but now sure where it goes...
I have a 1993 Sea Ray 240 Overnighter. After I broke my original winch cable, I went to the hardware store and bought a cable to replace. The cable I bought was plastic coated and I thought that would be a good idea. It wasn't! After winching a few times, the cable started to bury itself...
I've never winterized my own engine before, but after the terrible job my marina mechanics did last year, I wanted to do it myself. I'm not much of a mechanic and the videos on youtube didnt seem to apply to my boat. I have a buddy who has a boat like mine and he used a gravity feed container...
Looking for some mechanic suggestions in my area that are good with the older carbed engines and drives. Boat is on trailer so I can tow to anywhere reasonably close.
I have a 93 Sea Ray 240 Overnighter with 7.4 Merc with Bravo One drive. I was trying to winterize the boat engine myself and had problems getting the antifreeze to go into the drive, and I may have ran the motor too long without water. The motor started to overheat, so I shut it down and let...
Might have resolved my issue. Poured a bit of gas directly into the carb throat and started it up. It fired up for a sec then stalled out. Did it again and this time it didn't stall out! It kept running! So I guess I did need to prime the fuel system to get it going. I found a fuel leak in...
Hi all-
I have a 240 Overnighter with the 7.4 454 Mercruiser. Having a problem with engine sputtering and losing power under load. Took it out for our first time after bringing out of storage. Boat fired up and revved fine in driveway, but when out on the lake, throttling up under load would...
I've been trying to determine if I have the optimal prop for my boat and one of the pieces of information I need is max. rpm or max RPM range for my engine. I have a 1993 240 OVR with a 7.4l Mercruiser and Bravo One drive. The prop is a Stainless 3 blade Quicksilver Mirage with the numbers...
I have a 1993 240 Overnighter. Trim gauge stopped working and is stuck all the way up. Checked for power to gauge with ignition on and it reads 12 volts. All other gauges work fine. What should I be looking for next? Is it common for gauges to just stop working?
Thanks!
Eric
Thank you for the suggestions. I found a local place in Holland MI called the Nautical Needle. I'll give them a call and let you know how it turns out.
I have a 1993 240 Overnighter that has a non-functioning bimini top, so I want to get a new one. I contacted Great Lakes Boat Top and gave them my boat info and hull id# and they responded with this:
"Unfortunately, we do not have patterns for your boat. Your boat was made in the Arizona...
Thanks for the quick replies and great advice. About the 3000 RPM thing, that seems to be the minimum RPM I can run the motor and expect it to stay on plane. The wife(who is not a boater or a brave soul) just freaks out if I try to push the boat faster than plane speed or if we are trying to...
I'm new to this community and semi-new to boating. Last year I bought a "new-to-me" 1993 SeaRay 240 Overnighter with the 454 and Bravo One drive. After taking it out for over a year now, I'm very worried this boat won't work for my family and I. The problem is with its acceleration. Despite...
