I have sent Kenyon an email, not sure what there international service will be like. Has anyone found a similar size replacement?

Cheers,
Stuart

until I hear from Kenyon with a better offer I found a new release portable gas burner that fits like a glove in the galvanised Kenyon housing. http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/...ster-Butane-Stove-Single-Burner.aspx?pid=381984&menuFrom=571613#Recommendations I sprayed the galv black, and use a chopping board to cover it when not in use

 

[SeaJay62]

Kenyon emailed me with the half price offer on the alcohol/electric cooktop http://www.cookwithkenyon.com/product/alcohol-electric-1-burner/ has anyone fitted/used the stainless steel electric
http://www.cookwithkenyon.com/product/stainless-steel-1-burner/ ?

While I was out last time I had the Navionics app on the Samsung tablet running, max speed 37.7 kts, the tablet holder on the windscreen support worked well even though the sea was choppy

 

[roberteb]

37.7 kts, with 11 meter swell? All swimming horses ok? :grin:

I received the same offer from Kenyon and decided to go for repair kit (89USD + shipping (+ import tax + vat for the Netherlands :-( )) I will give it a try. The recall for their gas stoves was related to a portable edition.

 

[SeaJay62]

good luck with your repair Rob, I think ill go the flat top electric way after having a fire. That speed was in about 1.5 foot chop. I presume they would not exercise the horses during the storms, I would be more worried about shark attacking them, another person was attacked on Tuesday and lost a leg, he died in hospital last nite http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/bre...hark-attack-victim-dies-in-hospital/news-story/d2c914a0c4dc31a449dea548db2ecfc2

Well, i was supposed to be doing my sea trial tomorrow but on top of bad weather, the dealer is waiting on a new fuel cooler that they need to replace. They told me that the cooler that is currently installed is leaking and needs to be replaced but is discontinued. They had to find somewhere that had the model that superseded it and as far as I know, the part has not come in yet. Is there any maintenance i should have done while they are working on the fuel cooler that they can get to at the same time? I hate having to wait but I do want the repairs done right.

Posted 240DA/2004 related question http://clubsearay.com/showthread.ph...lectronic-Interface-Module-(EIM)-Accessory-Fuse-Block-(AFB)?p=894089#post894089

 

[roberteb]

Any one idea of the thickness of a 240DA/2004 bottom, like the place where the depth sensor is located? I like to install a 3D structure scan under the keel and guestimate the size of the screws which can be used, as not want that are to long and pierce the bottom.

 

[Kentendo]

I have a 240 SD from 2006 with the same issue on the depthfinder and the sea water temp. How did you resolve?

No, sure if my question was clear, but only like to know thickness of bottom/keel/hull.

What is the issue with your depth/temp sensor?

Do you have to drill holes? can you not just use sikaflex?

 

[roberteb]

Do you have to drill holes? can you not just use sikaflex?

Yes and No.. Don't need to drill holes thru-hull, but need to drill for screws. The 3D transducer is large, approx. 26 cm length, 6 cm width, 5 cm high. As need to be fixed very solid, like to use 'large' screws, but not piercing the hull. I will use sikaflex in the holes, but also on flush mount plate.

I have the transducer now on the transom, but as 3D structure scan is beaming almost horizontal, have huge reflection from drive...

 

[SeaJay62]

have you ever tried to remove something attached with marine sikaflex? its amazingly strong, I think it would secure it without the need of screws. Can you get the opinion of others on just using marine sikaflex?

 

[fishbone52]

I removed my transducer and resealed it. That area is about a half inch solid fiberglass. I would not put a screw there.

 

[roberteb]

@fishbone, thanks and similar what I expected. No problem (for me) to have screws in bottom of boat. Prefer that instead of removing gelcoat partly and have flush-mount with expoy.

 

[roberteb]

I'm checking the option to run cables from galley/mid-cabin to dash (2004 model) and position of VHF antenna. I have now, 3 feet VHF on SB attached to the rail, but plan is to have two 6 feet antennas on SB/BB.

How did this before and maybe some pictures?

Have a deposit down on a 2009 230DA, hopefully the offer gets accepted

very excited although concerned about reading some things about stability and under powered nature of the 5.0

 

[davidh82]

Hi Sean! Good luck!

Don't be too worried about the stability or it being underpowered. My wife and I have a 2010 with a 5.0 and we absolutely love the boat.

You'll get used to driving the boat and in no time at all you'll be able to anticipate how the hull will behave in most conditions. I wouldn't mind having a larger engine, however have never been in a situation where the 5.0 let us down.

The 240 is a compromise boat. We don't have a generator or vacuflush, but have the advantage of being able to tow the boat anywhere with ease and can store the boat almost anywhere. Compared to larger boats the 240 is very easy on the gas bill and can also be taken on extended weekend cruises.

 

[seannyg]

Good to hear David. Also just got word that our offer was accepted and we will conduct the Sea Trial on Thursday morning .

 

[aerobat77]

and under powered nature of the 5.0

the 5.0 mpi really gets the job done , it planes out with 6 adults and beer on board , the engine is good.
