Thanks to Epsos, JayHawk and Lazy Daze, you are all correct and got me on the right track, job done. I had exactly the configuration pictured by JayHawk and described here. The port side drain was in fact just a thread in the block presumably for some previous attachment no longer used - it...

Thanks. So I've found three drain spots, it seems my water pump has just one that I can identify I've included a photo, seems my pump is different than those I've seen online with two drains. Am I missing something on the pump? Also, the port side plug in the block was very difficult to thread...

Thanks so much for this easy to follow reply, felt like I was looking (and feeling) for a needle in a haystack not knowing where I should be looking. I did just get 4 plugs back so it seems likely the cool fuel module is still original (I mistakenly identified seeing one on the starboard side in...

I have a 2008 240 SD with the MX6.2 MPI engine. Winterizing always meant fogging the engine and replacing the drain plugs, but moved to a new location and my new marine service guy had difficulty with supply chain last year and just removed the 4 blue engine drain plugs and left them for me to...

Thank you for the easy to understand explanations. Happy to learn that the risk is to the batteries not the boat's electronics. I'm familiar with the need to not overcharge a battery and invested in an on board smart charger for exactly that reason. Never really thought about that happening...

I have the 1/2/both/off switch. I thought parallel but that is incorrect - the negative terminals are connected but the positive goes through the switch. I realize one is for starting the other for partying, and I can connect to shore power for charging when in the slip, but don't I need to...

Thank you, that's what I wanted to hear! They are connected in parallel after all btw.

I have a 2008 240 Sundeck currently with two marine cranking batteries, I use a NOCO genius 2 bank charger and the boat is on shore power when in the slip. One of the batteries needs to be replaced. I recently changed my camper to lithium and have a deep cycle battery that's less than a year...

We're planning a move to Colorado sometime in the coming year or two - our daughters live in Denver and our son may be moving to Boulder. The outdoor lifestyle in Colorado will suit us very well and we're excited about the beauty, skiing, hiking and camping that will be in our backyard! We're...

Did you solve your issue? Ditto on what nysxr said. I had exactly the same problem, the boat was new to me and it took a while to sort out the main breaker's function, its not intuitive to reset. Have a good look near the battery switch, the main breaker is there, there is likely a black...

Thanks, I will.

Just bought a 2008 240 Sundeck and love this boat! While flushing the water system running one of the faucets, the stream spurted and became forceful (as if air were coming through the line) and then the pump stopped. The main thermal breaker by the battery was tripped, after I reset it...

Thanks sharing your blower experience Bill, exactly what the broker said happened. Nothing aftermarket added. I'm hoping this will be a quick replacement of fuses, blower and horn and everything will be smooth, I really like the boat. Happy to not be hearing any "oh-oh when all the fuses blow...

Thanks Mancave - and yes after I posted I read the issues with Sundeck horns so can do that myself if necessary. The owner is an older man and the boat has low hours, its possible the horn and wiper fuses went sometime in the past 8 years and he just never used either and never noticed - then...

Didn't think of that but the bilge is clean, the broker said there was a mud dauber's nest as BillK said, I was watching but not at the moment he got it apart and said he found the next.

Took a 2008 240 Sundeck on a sea trial today planning to bring home a new to me boat. The vessel was stored indoors 2014 through 2015 but has been run this year a few times. The entire bank of toggles on the left side of the helm were inoperable - horn, wiper, bilge pump and bilge blower...

Good to hear, thanks ManacleII and SeaJay62!

Thanks Cliff, good to hear. I had read this about the 6.2 and it was my understanding as well - I hadn't read much from owners so its helpful to hear your experience. One of the mercruiser forums had some 2007 postings regarding broken piston shafts, but I hadn't read that anywhere else. They...

I've been searching for a 240 Sundeck 2001 - 2008 vintage for a a few months. I've found a 2008 model in pristine condition that I've made an offer on, waiting to hear back from the broker tomorrow. She's equipped with a Mercruiser 6.2 L engine - I've spent hours on this forum (thank you all!)...
