    Which Bravo 3 Steering pin to buy?

    I have also been debating on using the Nuwave or JR Marine stainless steering pin. Looks like a couple of you have good years of service from the Nuwave. Currently it’s $150 less than the JR Marine version. However the JR Marine says it’s heat tempered and stronger. I have the issue of slop in...

    Official 215 Express Thread

    Yes, the float switch will activate the bilge pump with the helm switch off. It should also work even with the battery switch off. The bilge pump is the only elec device that is wired directly to the battery, so regardless of the position of either the battery or helm switch, the pump should...

    Lowrance 7HDI Fishfinder installation on 240 Sundancer

    I epoxied the transducer for my humminbird 561 in the bilge and it works great. I'm not sure this would be an option for down imaging units but you can always experiment to see. I opted for humminbird's shoot through hull transducer and there doesn't appear to be any signal loss. My factory...

    Oil change in my 215 EC, will I need a pump?

    Just warm up the engine and pump out the oil. I have one of those pumps you put on a drill. Works great, and no mess.

    215 or 240

    I also like fishing off the 215 with the rear seats removed. Also, on the 2003 and newer models of the 215, the cushion on the motor cover is removable, making a nice casting deck. I do, however, like the folding rear bench seat on the ~2003 240 though, but not as fond of the newer 240's...

    215 or 240

    I wont say the 215 has plenty of room for 2 six foot individuals. I'm 6' and have plenty of room, and my wife is 5'7", and it's enough for us both. There are so many other considerations to factor. I'd always go with the bigger boat, because they do seem to shrink when they get wet...

    No Signs of a leak

    Definitely loosing fluid. I will look closer at the connection at the pipe nipple for a leak. the hardware you described above, with the pipe nipple and female elbow is exactly what I have. It's definitely a slow leak, usually just have to add a few oz of fluid about every 30 hours of...

    No Signs of a leak

    that's funny, after i posted that last night, i thought to go out and check for any signs of leakage. the boat is out of the water, and i saw no signs of leakage on the outside actuator. where could that fluid be going?

    No Signs of a leak

    OK, time to revisit this thread. I've had to add fluid a couple of times, so this year, i've placed small towels around all the connections and under the pump. Lost fluid, and all the towels were still dry. so last Saturday, i ran them all the way down as you suggested. I haven't used the...

    215 EC steering issue

    It's not so bad. I replaced mine last year on my '97. With the panels removed from both sides, on each side of the engine cover, you have full access to behind the engine. It's a tight squeeze. Mine was very difficult to steer, and became tighter by the day. I replaced it and couldn't...

    Tab leaking. Are these Bennett?

    Another reason we refer to boats as "she"

    You guys remember back in high school when your girlfriend broke up with you? The next day, she would always get up earlier to spend extra time to do their hair and makeup. Then always seem to wear your favorite outfit, just to try to make you feel worse. Well, it's kind of the same feeling I...
