I took delivery of my 2016 242 Limited S E-series on Friday. I'm very happy so far, except for a few puzzles I'm trying to solve:
Other than these mysteries, everything else looks great!
- The owner's packet included an Airmar "retrofit kit" with a single, black O-ring and a page of instructions on how to install it. I think this is for the through-hull depth/temperature sensor. The instructions say the yellow O-ring on the sensor should be replaced with the new black O-ring provided for DT800V and DST800V sensors WITHOUT a valve. This is essential, the notice says, in order to prevent water leaking into the boat. I don't know if my depth/temp sensor has an integrated valve? I can't seem to find any "plug" (to plug the hole if the sensor is removed). Have any other 242 owners seen this?
- I can't seem to find a flush nozzle. The checklist says that one was included, but I don't see it anywhere. I'm wondering if it is normally stored somewhere on the boat and out of sight? Is it length of hose with fittings, or just a plastic fitting?
