Not yet but I will momentarily. I didn't dismiss it, just knew I had to take it off later anyway to put that seal in the seawater pump that I forgot when rebuilding it

Update Pulled the lower unit and ran it for a few seconds. Noise is still there. I have new u-joints and a u-joint press tool but I couldn't bring myself to changing them because they look brand new and are very free moving. Replaced the seals and put the lower unit back on. It still sounds...

Negative. It was stored fairly high up for 2 years tho which is why I'm hoping the u-joints got kinda locked in a funny position.

This sounds like when I dropped my favorite 1/4 ratchet and it fell underneath the engine behind the motor mount yesterday. No man left behind!

That's what I figured on doing. Thanks!

Amazon is sending me a seal kit and a couple u-joints Tuesday so I'll pull the outdrive Wednesday and fingers crossed it is the u-joints. If not I can always return them but at least I can run the engine a few seconds isolated from the drive to better pinpoint the bouse. If I have time I'll use...

So what was the result? I have a similar noise on my 2001 240 sundeck, 5.7, B3.

2001 SeaRay 240 Sundeck 5.7 mercruiser with Bravor 3 650 hrs Previous owner neglected this boat and I'm pretty sure it sank on land given all the random things I've had to replace. Now that I've got it running it's making a squeak and knocking/pinging sound. The knock came first and then after...

Any idea what is causing this squeak and click/knocking sound? Two videos below. 2001 mercruiser 5.7 with the Bravo 3. Engine runs perfectly smooth so I'm guessing it's something on the drive end but I don't fit back there to see. Unfortunately I have to move for work and would like to get...

So it is all fiberglass. Mine has some spider cracks on the underside but was missing one of the 4 screws along the sides and wasn't connected to the engine compartment wall at all. With those in there it should be more structural. As for the boat in general, I keep fixing one thing and...

So my recommendation for anyone that needs a new starter for the 240 sundeck to just pay for someone else to do it. I've lost count of the hours I've got into this repair with a hurricane hitting in the middle of this project. I am mechanically inclined and hate paying people to do things but...

Will this Bennet pump be compatible? Seems to be upon first glance. A few Google images showed the same 4 wire plug...

So I'm elbow deep in my engine bay the other day replacing a starter when I notice two hydraulic lines just hanging out with fittings not attached to anything. One more surprise on this 'new to me' boat that the whole hydraulic pump is MIA for the trim tabs. Does anyone have an OEM part # or...

First question. The deck over the fuel tank feels soft. Only on the removable piece with the table mount. Is this usual or should I pop the seal and investigate?

Finally picked her up. She's filthy inside but for the price I paid I can clean her up.

Thanks, for the tip. The seller claims the risers/manifolds were replaced 75hrs ago, and they look new but I was going to pull the risers to do gaskets and inspect. I was hoping with just the riser off and not the manifold I'll have enough room to reach around it and pull the starter but I'm...

Link to the write-up?

I just picked up an '01 240SD with the 5.7efi that needs a starter. If I remember my phone I'll try to do a walkthru on replacement with pics since it's so hard to access.

Hello everyone! I read all 81 pages of this thread which got me really excited about picking up a 2001 240SD with the 5.7 and bravo 3. Based on the comments through the years I haven't seen a lot of complaints other than the peanut pads so that's even more exciting. I figure there will be some...
