OK Guys, I feel like I have exhausted all paths of possible issues with this engine, so I turn to you all for something I may have missed. I'll try to list everything that has been done but it was at the mechanic shop recently so some things may have been done I am not aware of.
Let me tell...
Hi there,
Been working on the boat, getting her ready for the season. Yesterday when idling to the boat launch, I noticed that the engine was running a bit rough. I then realized that my max rpm was 4500 wide open. Also, when loading her onto the trailer, she did not have enough power to get...
So I have a fresh water leak (While on trailer) into the front berth. I assume it may be the port lights because sometimes I can see water drops dripping off of the lower port light sealing lever. I have read the posts on here about replacing them but the ones mentioned have 4 visible screws on...
On my 07 240 Sundancer, I think that I may have a leak into the core of the boat entering through the through-hull fittings that feed the A/C and Toilet. Both fittings are in the same cavity on the side of the bilge in a depression in front of the engine. 1st Question, Is the boat cored in that...
OK, So I am going to drop the boat off at the marina to have them try to find the leak. I was able to track down water trickling down the inside of the rear transom, in the center, which at first made me think it was leaking from around the plug. I resealed the plug and still found water...
Check out this link here. It is not showing up in the new posts results so maybe it will get more attention here.

I have tried to narrow it down. A few weekends ago, I noticed dripping from...
Hi, I need to get to the eye hook at the front of the boat. I think there is a leak. where should I start, in the cabin, taking stuff apart so I can get down there to see if it is leaking?
Thanks
So, I have been chasing down a water leak into my bilge for some time. Well yesterday, I decided to look the engine over while she was in the water and low and behold, I found a drip coming from the center of the rear section of the engine approx 2-3 inches from the transom. I took a video but...
So I have an old trim tab and a new one that was installed last year. Standard Bennett trims from what I can tell. I noticed that one of them has a longer travel than the other one so much so that it actually pushes the trim plate past the stopping point of the hinge and bends it until I...
So I have been trying to track down a leak into the lower step area in the front cabin area. I noticed that the carpet was getting wet with sea water after sleeping overnight the last few times we stayed in the boat. I initially thought that maybe I wasn't screwing in the drain plug tight enough...
Today I had a problem with the trim pump and the up solenoid not working so after I got her up on the trailer, I had to jump the up wire on the pump to get the drive raised. Once I got home, I tried to start the engine and when I turn the key I get one beep but the smartcraft gauges do not...
I want to upgrade my chartplotter which is a Garmin GPS541s GPS/Fishfinder combo with something newer possibly touchscreen. I want to be able to basically plug and play with the current equipment that I have connected to it that probably came stock. I did not have it installed so I don't really...
Is it OK to back flush the A/C using the exit through hull fixture to remove the salt water during cleanup after use? Is there anything that would get damaged by forcing the water backwards through the system?
Thank you
Hi, This will be my first of hopefully many posts to this thread that I will use a sort of a log for the outings I take on my 2007 240DA. First I might as well start at the beginning. A little over a month ago I had a decision to make between two boats that I was looking at to upgrade from a...
I am having an aluminum trailer built and would like to know if I can go with a 5 1/2 x 3 1/2" I beam with 2 3500# axles for a total GVW of 7000# V/S the 6 1/2 x 4 1/2" I beam with 2 5000# axles. for a total of 10,000# GVW. The builder recommended the smaller one but I would like to know what is...
I am getting a 2007 240 sundancer that only has the front Bimini. Does anyone know it there is another Rear Bimini from another model that can be made to fit and zip to the current front Bimini? I know that Bimini tops can fit a range if boat sizes and am looking to add one to the rear so I have...
