Mike, we have a 2009 240 and I had an anchor installed by Marinemax. It does make life alittle easier.

All - I have a 2008 240 Sundancer with a unique problem. The stereo (Clarion CMD5) will gradually fade out - no power or function from the head unit or remote on the helm. After several days, it will magically come back on. Did this three times this season and of course the dealership is scratching their collective heads. And of course it is presently working, so they can't track the electrical issue. This sounds like a voltage problem to me, but not sure where. Maybe the panel - a bad switch maybe? The head unit was bench tested and came out fine. Anyone else have this experience?
Just want to say hello and let everyone know that in Wilmington North Carolina, I was on the boat all weekend.
Anyone jealous?
Hi all-
First post after lurking a while, TONS of great info in here - I think I'm narrowing in on a 2000/1ish 240DA for my first boat. Seems like there may be some thought that the 5.0L is a bit underpowered and I should look for one of the larger engines if possible. Question - does the B3 on a 5.0L work efficient enough to make that a significant boost over a B2? Or should I be looking for something w/a 5.7? Would you consider a 5.OL a dealbreaker knowing what you know now?
Thanks!
Hey Dan, I noticed your in Pensacola. Do you have a slip there or know/recommend a good one. I have been thinking about wintering my boat down there when it's not summer here in Minnesota.
Are you trimming the drive up as you are coming up on plane? This is a common problem those with newer 240DA & 260DAs have discussed.Hi everyone,
I can see that I am not the only one who is having difficulty leveling out the boat when on plane. My 2007 240 Sundancer lists steeply to starboard and even after installing the bennett automatic trim tabs I anm struggling to keep it level when there are more the a couple of people on the boat. Is this a common problem with tis model ie; the beam is not as wide as the larger boats? Thx/Matt
Jack...thanks for the advice, I also thought the boat was going to roll. I had installed Auto trim tabs however when i engage them they dont seem to be doing the kind of correctiosn that i had hoped. I have found though that trying to get up on plane with the tabs up is laborious on the engine and takes longer. What is the CSR?
