I don't use it where salt water will come in contact - but with spark plugs that shouldn't be a problem.I thought there was an issue using anti-seize on the marine engines. I heard something about it making things worse for boats in salt water.

Thanks Kevin that Bimini looks nice, u have the poles in rod holders or mounts?I also mentioned this project a few months ago. We got our first fitting for the removable fly shade for the 340SDA on this weekend (along with new factory Bimini and Sunshade). The fly shade has two re moveable and collapsible stainless steel support poles and zippers direct to the factory sunshade. We have a little more tweaking to do but this will give you a good preview of what we are up to.
Yep, skipped right over that one. This discussion for the IAC may be helpful:

It should be an easy swap out and I would certainly pickup the discounted non-mercury IAC for the price difference.

Kevin,Not exactly sure why that shade pictures got posted on my reply to you. I was starting a post on a different computer.
Regardless, we have been busy fabricating the sunshade extension for the 340SDA. The attached pictures show where we stand with prototype version 1. We have a little tweaking to do but we are close on it is quite usable as is.
It is a direct zipper attachment to the factory sunshade. My pictures below show it attached to a brand new GLBT sunshade that we got in. The support poles a stainless steel and are collapsible and the tension pulls are paracord and will be trimmed down (we are just experimenting with a neat finish to the tied off knot).
The pictures shown utilize the factory rod holders but also anticipate the need for adding holders. Then there are two choices - a 30 degree holder at the factory position or a 15 degree holder are the aft corner.
The shade goes up and down in just a couple of minutes and the whole thing will collapse down to a rolled bundle just over 4 feet long for easy stowage. When we first used it we noticed an immediate drop in the temperature in the cockpit area.
Once the we have the cover tweaked we plan on working on screens and/or solid panels for the sides.

Kevin,
Do you envision being able to use underway or, will it need to be stowed before heading out? This may have been covered before in earlier threads so, sorry for not searching.
Thanks for thinking of me regarding your update!

What is the mercury product to use instead of anti seize ?Guys no need to put anti sieze on NGK plugs as the threads already have a coating on them.

in the bilge they are on either side of the pump. theres a bunch of videos of people replacing these on youtube. im not sure how many we have in our system. could be up to 4 i believethanks Kevin...by the way, after all the mechanical issues I started installing the canvas I got from you. nothing on the boat works but at least it looks great I'm thinking I may need a new mooring cover from you soon as well...now that I"ve replaced the bimini you really notice how faded the mooring cover is
I've got an appointment for the generator and seacock in two weeks then figure a week or so there to order parts and repair.
in the mean time I"ll get on the others my self. where is the duck valve for the toilet? is it under the bowl or in the bilge somewhere?
thanks. theres talk of a difference in the gasket on that thread, any idea?Yep, skipped right over that one. This discussion for the IAC may be helpful:

I ran out of storage space on the boat. I have a 2007 340. I wanted to see if anyone used the space under the couch or behind the couch pbackrest. I know the 350 utilized this space and put hatches in there. I didn't get any pictures behind the couch backrest but it is all empty.

the fitting under my sink in the galley broke today. what a pain. wondering if anyone has replaced that fitting. its plastic and threads onto the bottom of sink, 90 degree elbow and gets clamped to the drain hose. thanks
It's pretty much a standard fitting. I replaced mine on my 260DA. Just need to get the proper size basket for the hole. Pack it with plumbers putty and tighen it up and clamp the hose on. Ambassador manufactures many of these drains.
