I'd pull the whole pump and figure out what went wrong...the key should be captured when installed.I Changed both last spring.

Hi - I lost the hatch cover over my boarding ladder on the swim platform. Any ideas where I can get a new one? Cheers, Pete
I would call them with the info. on that label. Maybe they will have records.I’m trying to trouble shoot a possible fresh water tank issue. i understand it is not good to run them full as they are “L” shaped and tend to leak at that inner angle. I have removed all the access panels to the tank. I was going to pull it out and test. Then i had the brilliant idea to remove the foam in that area and fill the tank with water in place. As luck would have it the water is still turned off at the boatyard. However, things aren’t adding up.
The label on the tank says Dura Cast 12-1-1999. My boat is a 1997. The foam around the tank in in no way original. It looks like window and door foam. Also the inner angle has a radius, not a sharp angle. I’m thinking there was an early failure and the tank was replaced with a newer, radius version. From what I can visually see there is no crack there.
Can anyone shed some light on the radius vers sharp angle? Did any of them have a sharp angle? Is the foam original?
The foam is definitely not original. When I replaced the tank in my 400DA the new one was identical to the one I removed.

Great post Tom, looks like the same part#. Check out the date on that doc.The foam is definitely not original. When I replaced the tank in my 400DA the new one was identical to the one I removed. My 400DA was a model year 2000.
If you are going to pull the tank out there are a couple of things you should do -
Buy some of those 12X12 click-together rubber floor tiles and put those down on the deck under the tank.
Install some cross braces over the top of the tank resting on the top of the tank - I put some soft rubber strips under aluminum braces. I put them across where that inside corner is to prevent the tank from bulging upward should it accidently be overfilled.

I delivered my front glass panels to the canvas shop yesterday. $1,600 to have my Strataglass replaced with O'Sea. My Strata panels lasted 6 seasons. I only regularly remove the middle panel but all 5 were shot last year. I tried to nurse them along with some polish, didn't do the trick (but did remove the scratches).
I asked them about the more rigid glass since I never remove 4 of the 5 panels. They quoted me $1k per panel!!! No thanks, I'll try my luck again with the "cheap" stuff.
Photo from pull-out last Fall. You can see it's cloudy, it's yellowed, etc. Even if I sell this thing this year, this needed to be done.
But dang...that Smoove sure held up nicely on the foredeck!!!

Do people look at you funny when you tell them that you wax your non-skid? Ha! I can't stand chalky non-skid. Plus, all the dirt and schmuts sticks to it. Plus, waxing non-skid is super easy!But dang...that Smoove sure held up nicely on the foredeck!!!
Our 2002 410 has a corrugated plastic conduit that runs all the way up to the radio and beyond, yours may have something similar. You can see it by pulling some of the access panels inside the cabinets above the sofaI am looking to add my Fusion 270 radio to my NMEA2000 network so I can control/see it on my Garmin MFD's. Anyone know of a good path from the helm to the cabinet above the sofa on the left where the radio is installed? I did this on my 340, but that was much easier as the radio was in the electrical cabinet.

Looks great!

PS....I know that those polycarbonate panels are expensive. I had them on my 420. But dang they look good. I replaced them in January 2020. It was $3,500 back then. Five panels. We sold the 420 in July 2021 but it is slipped behind me. The panels still look great.

I can't see what boat you have, but I ran a NMEA cable from the helm to the stereo in the cabin.I am looking to add my Fusion 270 radio to my NMEA2000 network so I can control/see it on my Garmin MFD's.

I don't remember exactly how, but there are screws on mu '98 400DA. If I get up to the boat in the next couple of days I will take a picture, otherwise someone else might remember. I am positive I took it out for the NMEA cable and also for another project.I have a 1999 400 DA. How does the medicine cabinet come out? I see no screws, just the outlet
