    Lake Union SeaRay

    I just had the LU SeaRay Fife store perform service on my 2009 240 DA. I do not have a trailer but that didn't stop them from loading up my boat onto a trailer at the Pt Defiance Park launch ramp, service it, recommend some improved changes, and deliver it back to the park for me. Great...

    280 Sundancer - Questions

    Paperking....Hi...not sure this is of help on your question of turning off batteries. With your Mercruiser and Bravo III, you have a Mercathode systems to reduce electrolysis. This along with your zincs, will greatly help eliminate corrosion. As I understand things, since the mercathode system...

    Official 240 Sundancer Thread

    We were just at a Sea Ray cruise and I learned about the Bennett Trim Tab Auto-Adjust product. I have similar issues (read, learning curve) on using the combination of trim tab and outdrive trim procedure. I read up on the Bennett product and I think it is the way to go. My first mate does...

    Official 240 Sundancer Thread

    Hi...Welcome. I have a 2009 240 DA which is the same setup you have. Do you have the wet bar on starboard side? I have a Magma BBQ mounted on the top of the side wall of the boat using a Scotty rod holder w/ lid and a Magma adapter for the rod holder. This allows me to swing it out over the...

    Trimming drive

    Greetings...Dave, I appreciate your advice and will try it next time I go out. I am a new owner of a 2009 240DA with the standard 350. We had a bit of an issue concerning wake and trim last night as I came out of the harbor and began to throttle up. There were two other boats ahead which...

    Official 240 Sundancer Thread

    The information on the breakers is very timely for me. I was playing with them this past weekend and wondered how they switch on/off... so thanks a heap! Can I introduce another [weird] 240DA question around the anchor mount? This may have been addressed in another thread but I have not found...

    Announcing delivery of a new 240 Sundancer

    Hey thanks! Now if we can get some sun, we can take advantage of the newness... I have contacted Sea Ray and Merc about the zinc. Again, my drive has the Seacore system but as it is in salt water, I want maximum protection. I will let you all know what I hear back. As for the Garmin, yes...

    Announcing delivery of a new 240 Sundancer

    Presentation.... thanks for the concern.... I asked about that after seeing the cone zinc on a SD on the sales floor. I talked at length with the service manager and he told me I could put one on if wanted but it is not needed on these BR3s. He said it is not needed due to SS shaft and SS...

    Announcing delivery of a new 240 Sundancer

    JediJD.... yes we are a bit excited (read giddy) and anxious for the boating season to get into gear. As for the factors leading to choosing a 240 dancer.... we had just sold the sailboat because I was spending more time maintaining the 1988 boat than crusing on it. We just couldn't afford...

    Announcing delivery of a new 240 Sundancer

    Thanks.. I will go down to the boat at night and check out that switch. Funny the guys at the dealer couldn't tell me. As for the Vinyl... you are correct. What was I thinking? I must have just read that the Sea Ray is the BMW of the boating world so I assumed the leather. :smt101 I got...

    Announcing delivery of a new 240 Sundancer

    Hey there... thanks all for kind words. As for the pitch of the props...you got me there. I assume what ever the standard is. But next time out, I will check my speed and RPM with both the GPS and Merc Smartcraft systems. But during the sea trial (no bottom paint) we were reading 28 mph at 3600...

I am just a little excited to get possession but have a long list to check off before securing it. We also had some work done...

    Please Help! Looking into purchasing our first Sea Ray

    Todd... thanks I will check it out. I don't remember if mine has a direct flush connection on the engine. I remember seeing one but that may have been on the Regal w/ Volvo I was debating on. So many toys at the boat show!:smt101 If you Puget Sounders ever want to venture south to Vashon...

    Please Help! Looking into purchasing our first Sea Ray

    I am not certain about that boat but I believe each has options. I was looking at a 260 that was not FWC and a 240 that is. I am running in the Puget Sound so FWC is a must for me. I am not experienced with trailering boats and I will be keeping my boat wet in a slip all year. So flushing is...
