Announcing delivery of a new 240 Sundancer

Congrats on your 240... :smt038
That's funny we were also missing our v-berth support.
We over-nighted on ours several times last yr... great-times!!
Looking at your pictures has me really missing my 240... come-on April 15th!!!
 
Congrats! You are going to love it...

I concur that the other switch is most likely your step courtesy lights (night light?). Flip them at night and you'll see what we mean.

Enjoy!
 
Congratulations on your purchase.

I am concerned about something in this photo.

Its possible Mercury made a change so please use this information to start your research.

Late 2003 Mercury added additional anode protection to the BIII drive. This included adding a anode behind the props.

I do not see this anode in your photo.

It could be missing or the design of the sea core system may be different.

Does anyone here know if he should have a center anode behind the props?

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 props...same metals and also because of the mercathode system..
Does anyone know of anything different? Again, I am in salt water.
 
You definitely need the prop anode.

If not, take a look at Todd's thread and see how much damage salt water can do to the bravo 3 if not maintained properly.

I am sure someone will find that thread for you.


By the way, congrats on a beautiful boat! Is your garmin gps unit have an internal antenna?

Hi Dave,

I’m not sure what to tell you.

I’d contact Mercury or Sea Ray and see if you should have this anode but that’s just me.

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 it has an internal antenna and I opted for the 540s which has the depthsounder. It works great! Shows not only where the nearest Starbucks is but how to get there! :thumbsup:

Later
Dave
 
Dave have you heard anything about the zinc from Sea Ray or Merc? I also have a Bravo 3 with Seacore and was able to check out mine tonight, I don't have a zinc on mine either.
