    240 DA - What Prop Pitch Do You Have?

    I ended up putting on a 20P "Cupped" prop set and it made a totally new boat of my 240. With the "Cupped" version I get the hole shot of 20 incher and the top end of a 22. Thanks for your feedback! Cheers, Jim

    Where do old boats go to die??

    I just wonder if there are any companies that pick them up as scrap, strip any metal parts and wiring, and then effectively cut and grind them up. I'm not sure what the by-product use would be but you would think that the shredded fiberglass could be sold as some kind of filler in asphalt or...

    Where do old boats go to die??

    I was driving down the interstate today and saw a flatbed full of crushed cars going the other way. The thought struck me, what in the world happens with fiberglass boats (of any size) when its finally time for them to die. You can't just put them in a crusher and then melt them down only to...

    Who is being affected by the Midwest Flooding?

    To say the least it has been a wild ride this year at our home port the Saylorville Lake Reservoir just north of Des Moines. We are 55 ft above our normal pool. Here's some pics.... The main [Current Only] entrance to our docks last weekend. Just a little bit of debris. Parking is a bit of a...

    Leak From Cabin Hatch

    Check the perimeter seal and if it is good there is no choice but to pull the hatch and re-bed it. Cheers, Jim

    Official 240 Sundancer Thread

    #1 - No, There is already a galvanic isolator in your electrical feed. #2 - Your Mercathode System is always on no matter what position your battery switch is in, even the OFF position. #3 - Same deal with your battery charger. As long as your AC converter is ON, your battery's will charge no...

    Okoboji Iowa

    John, I wouldn't put anything past our DNR! The group that patrols the Iowa Great Lakes is the ticket happiest bunch I have ever seen. Sounds like you have the same in-laws that I do.... Mike, it normally is pretty nice and we have a great marina facility. But,...You wouldn't think much of...

    Thermostate on AC/Heat

    Gotta be honest with you 1000Islander I'm not sure what sensor you are referring to but I doubt that it is related to your problem. Thermostats have a "Anticipation" circuit built into them to assist in regulating the temperature in the room, or cabin in your case. If your cabin temperature is...

    What's your trick on getting local channel on board?

    Damn, that would have been a Kodak moment! But, I stand corrected, the specs are indeed 720p on the 19" Samsung. One additional idea than panned out well with our setup was adding an FM RF modulator. This device connects to the analog audio outputs on the TV and transmits the audio signal via FM...

    Running water tank empty

    Jeff, We had allot of trouble burping air out of our 240 water system. I replaced the original with one of ShurFlo's Extreme water pumps. These pumps have a load sensing variable speed motor controller and are a great improvement over the old pressure switch operated units. Go with either the...

    What's your trick on getting local channel on board?

    Think digital. After wrestling with the same problems as you we installed a new Sansung unit with digital tuner and are enjoying all our local, plus several out of market stations all in 1080i HD. maybe this isn't th answer your looking for, but it has been a wonderful addition to our boat...

    240 lists to port when sitting in well

    The water heater is on the port side of our vintage and causes a slight list port. The water tank is on the centerline and does not have any effect on this condition. The Vac-Flush option would be installed in the same position as the hot water heater on the Starboard side and balance the load...

    Anyone Tried After Market ETS ??

    Just wondered if anyone in the group has tried one of the after market Electronic Throttle & Shift systems? Seems like it would be a nice addition, but WOW the price point is very rich. Along the same line I looked around online for a hydraulic counterpart but found no such thing. I have to...

    310 DA Emergency Start System ??

    Reporting in on the 310 project.... Frank I did find the fuse device that you were referring to but it checked out good. So, I just had to start stepping my way through the schematic from the engine forward. The problem turned out to be wire #211, the power feed to the Starboard Start/Stop/Run...

    310 DA Emergency Start System ??

    Thanks to all for the information offered. Frank W., I need to drill down another level with you as all the other related components have been verified as good. Your explanation is the most viable based on what I am seeing. But, here is the point of confusion. The power feed that you are...

    310 DA Emergency Start System ??

    As my Signature indicates I have a 240 DA but I am trying to help out a fellow dock neighbor with a 2000 310 DA w/5.7 EFI BIII's. Last weekend all of a sudden his starboard engine would not start. We have been over all of the simple things like verifying the breaker and the key switch in the...
