Plus rebuilt heads are around $250 each so not worth paying a machinist to pressure test and do a valve job on 20 year old raw water cooled heads.

That's not unique to a cover. A few years ago I had my Sundeck shrink wrapped and the guy who wrapped it didn't put a wood support under the bow section. The strap broke and the bow became a lined swimming pool (but not a drop got through the plastic). Got on the ladder a couple times with the...

I could absolutely see that. Thanks for the info. I might go latch - TBD. I read some Amazon reviews on the latch and one person mentioned using for a motor hatch. Others using for compartments on jet-skis, ATV's, etc. Plus it never wears out. With other latches (back entrance door, head...

That’s pretty slick and only $20 on Amazon. I was thinking you meant the rubber T that you stretch to latch closed but this looks more professional. Appreciate the advice. I’ll make a decision when I‘m able to get back onboard next season.

Will do but probably won’t be until next season. Brought (towed part of way with hatch up in all its glory) for shrink wrap this afternoon.

Not my boat but this seems factory in many images I’ve seen. Not sure how the male peg mounts yet. Perhaps this will work.

With the brown matching the factory color scheme, that doesn’t look out of place at all. Thanks for posting.

Ah. I get it. I did some googling and see some ‘05’s have it and some don’t. Interestingly, some ‘05’s have one gas lift strut and some have two (one each side). The cup is mounted on the port side of the engine access hole on an L bracket. I just need to figure out the part #’s and how they...

Can you tell me what this inner rubber hold down is? Gravity seems to be the only think holding the hatch down to the removable bulkhead. Might be worth adding if possible. Thanks.

The last couple times I towed mine (highway speeds for maybe 20 minutes of 35 minute trip), the engine hatch cover popped open. Anyone else have this happen and any clean looking solutions? I tow with the pass thru window latched closed as I believe you should. The hatch lift arm still feels...

So why do you use the tarp over the cover? I’m starting to feel like a sucker shrink wrapping all these years although shrink wrapping seems like the norm around my marina.

I would have guessed you would get really harsh winters with lots of snow and high winds. Does the cover fit tight enough to keep out mice, chipmunks or whatever is looking for a warm winter home?

I’m following this discussion as I’ve always shrink wrapped but price is getting crazy ($600+ for a 240 in north NJ). My thoughts have always been that plastic sheds snow easier (it’s slicker) and it’s super tight fitting to keep out critters. I’ve read about tarps ripping or getting wind under...

Once started, use the correct tool to avoid scratching your dash and/or having loose switches. Jiayouy Stainless Steel Multi... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DRP7RZC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

From Boating Magazine: A disadvantage of the forward-facing drive is its inability to trim above the boat’s bottom, whether for shallow-water navigation or trailering. The props—which cost $2,100 a pair to replace—will be the first thing to hit a speed bump, so be careful. The bottom line...

I’ve wet slipped my 240SD for the last 5-6 years. - Bilge pump should be wired directly to battery. Mine came that way from the factory. - A bilge pump would need to run a long time to kill a charged battery or batteries. Rain should not be an issue. A decent sized leak could be but I don’t...

That’s what I thought. Thanks for confirming.

I’m pretty sure I know the answer but has anyone found a way to pull the codes without a dedicated, fairly pricey, marine scanner?

LA’s Totally Awesome for cleaning followed by 303 for protection.

Stan, I did amateur drag racing from 2000-2014. I had a bracket car that went low 9’s back when that was fast. Mostly at tracks in the Northeast. F1 is an entire different game.
