For stripped out screw holes in fiberglass, fold a zip tie in half. Stuff the folded end just barely into the hole. Start drilling the screw into the zip tie/hole while holding the zip tie from turning. It will anchor itself. Once screw is all the way tightened, cut off the ends of the zip tie...

From reading other posts regarding Bennett Trim Tabs, I've been impressed at their responsiveness and direct communication via this forum to help resolve issues. Now, it's my turn, and hopefully someone can help! I tried to call Bennett directly, but they aren't answering phones due to 'rona...

Yes! You will be pleased to know that there is ZERO effort in installing the ARX70 remotes. 100% wireless, and they connect to the RA70 via Bluetooth. Simply peel and stick the remotes to the boat, and they’re only $50 each! One piece of advice I have regarding the RA70 mounting into the larger...

Excellent! I ordered the part on Amazon and will report back on whether I have the same success as you.

Just wondering if this part from Amazon is still working for you. My boat is doing the exact same thing, and I think I am going to give your solution a try. Also, on the photo where your camera is zoomed out showing the entire engine, it's tough for me to tell where to look for this part...

Sorry to keep touting such a simple project, but I just couldn't seem to stop obsessing over finding a perfect solution to the old Clarion oval remote dilemma ... so, I scrapped my previous project, and ordered a small acrylic sheet with rounded edges and corners from Boat Outfitters to cover...

Since it's a pretty common concern--that some earlier versions of the 240 Sundeck and other models have a helm which is specifically designed to house the old oval shaped Clarion M301 remote, meaning any stereo upgrade creates a remote fit/compatibility headache--I figured I'd share my simple...

Good news, it was a hose that had become disconnected. Whew.

Thanks everyone. I'm having my marina service look at it today. Your comments helped me set the tone for the initial conversation with them ... they winterized it and it was working fine beforehand, so no matter the issue, it has to be related to something they did or didn't do. Fingers crossed...

I have a 2004 Sundeck 240 with Mercruiser 260 HP 5.0 Bravo III. First time on water after winter, and noticed the bilge filling up immediately after engine cranks. Only takes on water while running. When I turn engine off, I still hear a slow, steady stream of water for another couple of...

Yes, similar, in fact I think it’s the exact same material as my cockpit/swim platform door also, which didn’t yellow. I’ll take a photo next time I’m out on the boat so everyone can see. I’ve see. A few home remedies for whitening yellowed plastics common on old electronics housing materials...

I removed my boat from winter storage, and the whole thing looked clean and in good shape except for one door, the large access one behind the helm which doubles as a walk through door to the bow (part# 1753958). It has completely yellowed! I'm guessing it's from prolonged exposure to UV, then...

You were correct! Water spots disappeared after a full day in the sun. Thanks.

After a heavy rain, followed by a few hot days, I went to my boat to remove the cockpit cover. There was some standing water drops on a few of the horizontal upholstered cushions, and after wiping it away, stains were left (See attached picture). First time this has ever happened to me...

Thanks so much. I was able to screen shot this from a YouTube video demo of a 2004 240 SD. Looks very simple to make! If you’re out this weekend, would you mind measuring the L x W x H HDPE block? Could probably estimate from the photo, but I would love to design something virtually identical to...

I am wondering if anyone can take a photo of the anchor compartment lid latching mechanism on a pre-2010 240 SD. The latch and lid on my 2004 model are fine, but it seems there was once a catch screwed to the boat which is now missing. There are two holes in the fiberglass just inside the...

Bump

I’m new to using heads. Just acquired a 240 SD with a Sanipottie that has a pump out plate on the deck. Instructions say to never add deodorant to holding tank through toilet bowl. It is technically a porta potty, but it’s fastened in place so I can’t tip on its front to fill holding tank...
