    SX "normal" Bimini Top

    Mine moves around ALOT. I boat in what appears to be very similar coastal choppy conditions like in your pic, and it worries me, but so far no failures. I can see the windscreen flexing at that point. As a rule I don't take the bimini over about 40 mph net, so if you have a 15 mph headwind...

    Fitting a Mantus Anchor in a 2015 Ar240 front anchor compartment

    Is the Mantus anchor that much better than a box anchor for a 24' boat? I use the box anchor now to anchor off our coastal beach, and it usually holds great, but it is a pain to set up and it's super heavy (large size). Would this Mantus be a better alternative? I'm not so worried about...

    Mooring cover

    I have the Deluxe Premium Non-Tower Mooring Cover Item: MAR-242BK-NT-14. It is 100% worth the money. I was lucky enough to get mine lightly used from a member here, but even at full price which is $700 or so, they are well-made and really protect the boat. Mine has high quality stainless...

    Flush port not working

    Yup. Same here. The booster pump really helped.

    Flush port not working

    Are you on a well or city water? If city water, check your PRV in the house. They get weak as they get old and fail to maintain pressure. Also, make sure you don't have a shutoff valve at the start of the dock that is closed partially.

    Flush port not working

    I bought a Simer 3075SS 1-3/4hp booster pump. It is automated with some pretty good controls that sense pressure to turn it on and off. It boosts 30PSI, which took me from well pressure (35-55Psi start and stop set points) to 65-85psi. I've had it for 2 years now with no problems. My dock...

    Shop manual

    Is that the same manual for all the 24' boats in those year ranges? I have a 2012 SX240 and would love to have the shop manual.

    New Member from South Carolina

    I'm down here in Charleston, and also have a 2012 SX240. The Charleston gathering was really fun this year (our first time). Met alot of cool folks. If you ever make it over to the coast, let us know!

    Flush port not working

    You might also check the actually quick connect fittings at the flush ports. They have relatively small openings and being check valves, have the potential to catch small debris and get clogged. I had some pieces of white plastic get stuck in mine and I got an overheat alarm. I didn't realize...

    Charleston Cooper River Run up to Pinopolis Lock May 20th 2017

    Got it. Sounds good! I am working on a way to safely carry about 20 gallons extra for me and whoever else may need it. I'm not 100% sure of my fuel economy so it seems like a wise plan to have a little extra.

    Charleston Cooper River Run up to Pinopolis Lock May 20th 2017

    Okay. I am trying to calculate fuel and distance for the trip. My dock is down near Wadmalaw, so I have a 26 mile trip to the start point, and I'll have 26 additional miles to get home at the end of the day. My boat typically cruises at 32-34 MPH at about 2.6 MPG. That's a 130 mile range...
