Thanks. We tried WD40 and it didn't help. What beats me how suddenly it happened. The key was working a day before just perfectly. I don't want to imply anything, but I'm questioning if somebody apply to much force to the key to make ignition hole broke or something.
Hello fellow boaters,
I have an issue with our 2010 Sundancer 240. We came back late to home marina after the trip and left our boat in the slip. In the morning, a crew member from marina called saying that they cannot turn the ignition key to flush an engine. He said he can insert the key, but...
Hello fellow boaters,
During the rough ride (jumping on the waves) few weeks ago on my 2010 240 Sundancer, the cabin table broke in half. I was trying to find the replacement in many places (ebay, west marine, amazon), but no luck.
Any recommendation here where can I get it?
Thank you!
We have a new Garmin Echomap UHD 940xv charplotter, so I took speed numbers from there and RPM numbers from the dashboard gauge.
I have to check it again for WOT data, but my recollection tells me that we never reached 31 knots on WOT (after this speed, I usually freak out and go slower).
If...
Thanks for replies, all.
We did some more testing, recording numbers (RPM, speed in knots and GPH (gallon per hour):
~4200-4500 27.8. 14.5 (difficult to see on analog gauge)
4000 23.7 11.2
3500 21.7. 10.9
3900. 23.8. 11.1
What I saw on boattest.com for this model, that at...
Thanks for reply. Yes, outdrive is Bravo one. It seems the prop is the original one.
All tests I read online about 240 DA were done with Bravo 3 outdrive and 22P propeller. With it, they were able to run boat with 3000 RPM and the speed was ~25 knots. In our case, this speed will be achieved...
Hello all,
Our 2010 Sundancer 240 is equipped with Alpha 1 sterndrive (15P propeller), 5.0L Merc (260HP). We are concerned that it runs at very high RPM (~4500 RPM and 25 knots speed). I googled about it and all tests for 240DA have much lower RPM and higher speed. But those tests were done for...
sorry, I am completely wrong - yes, it is one propeller with 3 blades.
Here are the pictures.
If this is something easy to fix I'll try to do it myself (because of the long wait for mechanic). If it is serious, I'll prefer certified mechanic to fix it.
Thanks for reply.
There were no alarm sounds or any error messages on the gauges. The temperature was steady about 170.
It is Bravo I, 3 propellers on outdrive.
Unfortunately, I don't recall the technical information (readings of water pressure, or WOT rpm and speed). I am new at boating, so...
Hello,
We just purchased a 2010 Ray Sundancer 240 that is equipped with Mercruiser 5.0 MPI (260 HP) with Mercruiser Bravo one sterndrive.
We took it on the first trip and while it was a real fun for some time, we ran into an issue. What happened was a strange motor shutoff after approximately...
