Looks great! Nice work. I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago with the black. I like the shiny trim rings around your gauges. I have faded black lol. Need to clean them up somehow!
Anyone have this issue with their camper top? This is the port side at the seam between biminis. I assume it is from shrinkage. We have canvas pulled bit to starboard by accident because we put in so late and had to put the top up after dark. But, that closed up the gap on starboard.
Not too many bugs find their way in with just 2 inch gap. But, when we get caught out in rain, it pours in like a faucet. Thinking of having the wife sew in an extra flap to cover the gaps for now. Cost of new canvas when that is the only issue hardly seems worth it.
But, does a new canvas have this gap?View attachment 74211
I just had my cover re-done and I have some small gaps like this. mine fortunately doesnt let any water in, but if you go to most canvas places they will sew on a small piece with velcro that will hold down. probably charge you $25, and it will look the way its supposed to with the matching sunbrella fabric. funny, I think my new cover is the same color as yours too, or close to it.
Thanks Chris. Looking at your top, it looks like there was room for shrink built in. Mine is tighter than a banjo string. It is hell just to get the zippers started. I think that explains it. The admiral ordered a swatch of material from sunbrella. I think that will be enough material to make the modifications. I didn't think about the velcro, yet. Good idea!
This has been talked about several times. I would have to go back through this thread and other to find it. I researched everything I could find last year and the only truly successful install took fiberglass work, changing the navigation lights, bolting the anchor locker shut after reinforcing the door and of course a lot of wiring of relays and switches. I'm a journeyman electrician and grew up as a mechanic. But, I am not a fiberglass guy by any means. So, I talked to the dealer I bought the boat from. He said he could do it for about $6000. I decided I could pull that anchor a lot of times for that money.Anyone install a windlass in a 2008 Sea Ray Sundancer 240?
Cheaper than what I was quoted. But, they just threw a number at me rather than drawing up a quote. It comes down to your particular use. I only set and pull anchor a couple times a day. It's also hard to justify $5400 for a windlass on a boat I have less than $30k in. I think putting that toward a generator would better suit my needs and might be able to recoup some of that cost in resale. Post pics if you decide to take the plunge, lol. I might talk myself into it, yet.$5400 taxes in. All parts and includes installation in Seattle.
I have seen a few threads in my year of studying these threads saying between $5500 and $6500. Most say you have to remove the vacuflush unit and use the port-a-pot style head. I honestly believe after spending hours in that engine room that it would fit without pulling the vacuflush. The boat might want to list starboard a bit afterward. But, the way these 240s roll already, would we notice? Set the trim for it and carry on.Can you retrofit a genny for $5K?
