    How to even get at the starter?

    I found this thread funny. I have the same boat - it's an easy job. Just remove the red raw water hose out of the way and lay down next to the engine. Two long bolts going up vertically into the block and you're done it will fall out (and wiring yada yada)

    Alarms and Erratic Behaviour

    I spent quality time down with the engine today. Here's what I found. Does not stay clipped in and was barely seated. I zip tied it snugly together and all faults and alarms went away. I must have yanked on it somehow working down there in the past. So annoyed that I didn't find that yesterday...

    Alarms and Erratic Behaviour

    Would an IAC valve affect it with an open throttle though? This issue started out while under load with throttle at least part way open. I'm no expert, but the behavior doesn't seem consistent with an IAC valve issue which openly really operates with a closed throttle.

    Trailering either a 240SDAor 260DA

    I have my 2006 SD240 on a trailer. Trailer is tandem, roller with EOH 4 wheel disk brakes. Boat weighs 2500kg, trailer is 800kg, plus about 200kg in fuel and gear - so it's usually bang on 3500kg as it sits and about 350kg ball weight. She's a very heavy girl and strong side winds are probably...

    Tips on trailering

    All really good advice! Although I went the other way, after having a boat in a slip for a long time vowed only have trailer boats in the future (long list of mooring gripes). So I put up with the yahoos at the ramp and try to get there at sparrows fart or on weekdays. The SD240 is a heavy girl...

    Fuel Water Separator Filter

    Hi guys, I have a 2006 SD 240 w/5.0 Bravo 3. The boat is new to me and as with any used engine I come in possesion of, I do a thorough service and freshen up. Had her out for a test run before I started any work and it struggled to get on plane and didn't want to rev past ~3000rpm at WOT even...
