    Sunshade

    Thank you for clearing that up for me. It wasn't until I looked at the gunwalls again to realize you cant access them from inside. The screw hole brackets already have a chamfer. Do think chamfered the holes on the fiberglass would still be necessary?

    Sunshade

    This looks exactly what we are trying to do on our 340 DA. I bought the Taylor Made pole sockets and want to install them like you did. Did you use a mounting bracket on the underside? I fear without it the stress from the shade will crack the fiberglass.

    Flatron TV

    Thanks I'll give it a try. What I really want to do is upgrade all the electronics and control everything from my tablet. Could get expensive

    Flatron TV

    Got it, thanks for the instruction. No manuals or any other documentation came with the boat, so its been difficult to figure stuff out. Still can't get the DVD player to turn on, but one thing at a time I suppose. EAE

    Flatron TV

    New to me 2006 DA 340, trouble figuring out how some of this stuff works. Small Flatron TV next to stove in cabin. I'm pretty sure it unlocks, extends and swivels, but I can't seem to get it to unlock. Anyone know how this works?

    New boat, new stuff

    Thanks for the reply, looks like we have the same boat! Wonder why they left it in the aft cabin like that... I was also wonder where the galley table storage was, now I know!

    New boat, new stuff

    We are now the proud(and a bit scared) owners of a 2006 Sundancer 340. Big upgrade from our 1993 240 Overnighter. So we are going through the boat and investigating all the stuff leftover from the previous owners and found this. Look like some kind of bulkhead but now sure where it goes...

    Winch cable vs. strap

    I have a 1993 Sea Ray 240 Overnighter. After I broke my original winch cable, I went to the hardware store and bought a cable to replace. The cable I bought was plastic coated and I thought that would be a good idea. It wasn't! After winching a few times, the cable started to bury itself...

    Burned up water pump/impeller?

    I've never winterized my own engine before, but after the terrible job my marina mechanics did last year, I wanted to do it myself. I'm not much of a mechanic and the videos on youtube didnt seem to apply to my boat. I have a buddy who has a boat like mine and he used a gravity feed container...

    Good mechanic in West MI area

    Looking for some mechanic suggestions in my area that are good with the older carbed engines and drives. Boat is on trailer so I can tow to anywhere reasonably close.

    Burned up water pump/impeller?

    I have a 93 Sea Ray 240 Overnighter with 7.4 Merc with Bravo One drive. I was trying to winterize the boat engine myself and had problems getting the antifreeze to go into the drive, and I may have ran the motor too long without water. The motor started to overheat, so I shut it down and let...

    Prime the fuel pump?

    Might have resolved my issue. Poured a bit of gas directly into the carb throat and started it up. It fired up for a sec then stalled out. Did it again and this time it didn't stall out! It kept running! So I guess I did need to prime the fuel system to get it going. I found a fuel leak in...

    Prime the fuel pump?

    Hi all- I have a 240 Overnighter with the 7.4 454 Mercruiser. Having a problem with engine sputtering and losing power under load. Took it out for our first time after bringing out of storage. Boat fired up and revved fine in driveway, but when out on the lake, throttling up under load would...

    Determining max rpm and correct prop

    I've been trying to determine if I have the optimal prop for my boat and one of the pieces of information I need is max. rpm or max RPM range for my engine. I have a 1993 240 OVR with a 7.4l Mercruiser and Bravo One drive. The prop is a Stainless 3 blade Quicksilver Mirage with the numbers...
