All - First I'd like to say, I apologize if this post goes against the rules of this forum. I'm a big CSR fan, and have a lot of respect for this forum and the CSR community. I'm not a paid advertiser on this site, but would be interested in becoming one in the near future. I'd like to...

Well, like a few others on this forum, I think it's time for my wife and I to move up from our Sundancer 240 and into something that we can keep in the water. This boat has been an absolutely pleasure to own, and I think we made the most out of being able to trailer. We've taken this boat all...

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great Monday. I have a question aimed at those of you who take care of your own boat maintenance. How do you manage your maintenance logs and data? For the past three years I have filled out the paper log included in the Mercruiser manual, however it...

Hello all! I hope that everyone is having a great February. I had an issue with my 2010 Bravo One unit this weekend and was hoping to share my experience and get your thoughts. I apologize in advance if this is a long post. My wife and I took the boat out for a weekend trip, launched on...

Hello all! I'm looking for some advice on how to maintain my Sundancer 240's batteries while the boat is trailered. Charging hasn't been a concern because in the past the boat was kept in my backyard. If I didn't use the boat for more than a week or two I would plug in the charger for a couple...

This happened last night, can you imagine watching from your boat as someone rams an 80 foot yacht back and forth along the finger piers until the boat sinks? There isn't much detail on where the yacht was stolen from, I imagine that the thieves were trying to steal the yacht from it's slip at...

Looks like I have to replace the water pressure sensor on my 5.0 MPI for the second time in two years. This is the sensor on the steering cooler with a Mercury part number of 8m6000623. From a brief search online it looks like this part is known to fail often. For a $90 - $130 sensor, I would...

Hey everyone! I had a small issue last weekend and was hoping to get some advice or thoughts. I have a 2010 Sundancer with a 5.0 MPI engine. This boat has the Smartcraft gauges and the last few times the alarm went off (once because of a bad water pressure sender and once because of a stuck...

Good evening everyone, I have a small issue that I was hoping to get a bit of insight on from the community. About a week ago I found that I had accidentally drained one of the batteries because I had left the ignition on (engine off of course). I subsequently plugged the shore power in and...

We had a small plane crash a few hundred feet from where my wife and I were anchored on Saturday. Fortunately nobody was injured and we have an interesting story to tell. Not much information on why the plane went down...

Received a few packs of the Spectrum Color repair kit in the mail yesterday to fix a few inches of gelcoat damage where the boat is rubbing on the trailer. Just wanted to say that this stuff is great! It's making me look like a professional, and I've never touched gelcoat before.

Hello everyone, hope you are all having a great 4th!! I've noticed the last few times I raised or lowered the outdrive that it sounded louder than normal, almost gritty. Today I noticed that the fluid in the reservoir was a milkshake. Am I right in assuming that this is most likely a problem...

Good morning, I was hoping to get a bit of advice on installing a VHF radio and antenna on my 2010 240 Sundancer. I currently don't have an installed VHF radio, just a small handheld that I keep mainly for emergencies or to hail the occasional marina. The last couple times I've tried to hail...

My 240SDA doesn't have anything to block the sun from coming in the bow hatch. This isn't a problem, except that it would be nice to be able to sleep in while in the front berth. Just curious if anyone has a solution, whether it is something that is aftermarket or that originally came with...

Hey CSR!! I have a bit of paint blistering on the lower unit of my bravo one drive and I was hoping to hear from you guys to see if anybody has any insight to offer. I first noticed the paint blistering when I purchased the boat a couple of months ago but just yesterday noticed that there are...

Hey guys! Have a bit of a problem this morning with my 2010 Sundancer 240 and 5.0MPI EC. First thing this morning everything we fine, no issues whatsoever. I needed to grease the engine coupler, and had to kick the starter for a split second to move the coupler fittings. Was able to grease the...

Hello CSR, I am having an issue with my 'new to me' 2010 Sundancer 240 with the 5.0 MPI emission controlled engine. The engine seems to be in really good shape, with about 133 hours. Runs great with no real issues. According to the dealer where I purchased the boat, the manifolds and risers...
