I think the next addition to the 240DA will be integrating SmartCraft into my Axiom-9. I have had a few scares when 17 year old gauges decide they are tired and indicate zero oil pressure and such while underway. I have also had a couple mystery alarms that would have been not such an issue to...
Posted this in the wrong thread and couldn't figure out how to move it. So, here it is again.
The admiral has been searching the forum for something similar to out problem and not found an answer, yet.
After running the boat for about 30 minutes on plane and honestly overweight, we pulled...
What do other season members do for hobbies with their wives in the winter when the boat is high and dry? We are headed to our 4th year as boaters and I have to say the off-season is getting tougher and tougher. I am noticeably grumpy. I know finding hobbies with your spouse is always hard...
I have studied a few posts that have brief mentions of bottom paint on trailered boats. But, not seen a post dedicated.
We have the 2004 240DA. It had bottom paint on when we bought it last year. It is starting to wear off. I'm personally fine with it going away. I would prefer a smooth...
I searched online and searched the forum. I can't seem to find the part I need for my Bimini mounts. The boat is 2004. So, there is obviously wear.
Anyone know where to find the plastic bushings that go in the taco ball and socket brackets?
On my 2004 240DA the bilge pump seems to be on some sort of timer. It cycles every ten minutes or so on it's own regardless that the bilge is bone dry. I will cycle even when the batteries are shut off at the switch. While this seems like a very good redundancy while slipped, it is a battery...
I am trying to troubleshoot the Dometic Sealand Vacuflush maybe 500 model? It is on my 2004 240DA. The head panelboard on the sink shows 1/2 full. The tank is indeed very empty and cleaned out. I pulled the three float switches and checked them for physical operation. The full switch was...
I was raised a auto mechanic and was a industrial machine repairer/electrician for 20 years. I'm now happily just an electrician. So, I have some background.
My questions are,(if money wasn't a factor), how feasible it would be to install that indmar raptor 575 on a 240 sundancer? Would...
Had an issue pop up on us on the lake Saturday. We run a generator on the swim deck at night. So I purchased two extra CO detectors to put in the cabin for redundancy/safety. I'm an electrician, machine repairer, industrial maintenance supervisor. I've learned it you can afford it...
Just finished installing my Raymarine Axiom 9 with the Sirius SW200 and 3D sonar on my 2004 240 Sundancer......almost. I have no idea where to land the RF ground on the two units. What is the RF ground. Where to land to it? TYIA
Well, we waited too long to verify we were going to have the boat and didn't get a slip reserved for this weekend. Anyone know of any open slips within 6 or so hours from Indianapolis for a 26ft with 30 amp power? Guess we will stay on the hook somewhere if we can't find something.
I have had a 1994 Sea Ray 180 Bowrider with a 90 hp Merc for 2 years. The wife and I spent almost every weekend when the weather was above 60 degrees F out on it since we bought it. We live in Indiana. So, my poor boat is usually winterized for 5 months of the year.
We recently bought a...
