I just went through this on my 340. Turned out I had a bad board that would not power my AC water pump. I have a Dometic DTU 12. Only 4 yrs old. Found it blowing cold air, popped hatch under v berth and found pipes frozen up. Noticed my AC water pump was not running. Knowing my pump had been...

Please take lots of photos. This is on my to do list for the coming months. While the hatches are out is the perfect time to do this. No holes. How do you plan to reach the inject a deck nozel to the farthest points? Can you daisy chain the tips to make it longer?

I have the exact same rust issue. I think I will just pull it, sand blast and repaint.

I've been in the process of replacing hoses on the boat as a preventative measure. I recently changed the molded hose that goes from the raw water pump to the inter cooler. I looked up the part using the SN of my engine and came up with the correct part being 32-808044, so I ordered 2. When I...

This is on our valve cover. Do you have anything stamped on yours?

We have 7.4s on our 2000 340. From spring through fall the hull needs to be cleaned at least quarterly. Clean bottom we reach WOT at the rated 4000 -4400 rpm. Dirty bottom my port side will max around 3800-3900 rpm. The sun on our port side is more intense so the growth is significantly more...

Boatman37, I have heard the same thing about bleach damaging the threads.

I just went through a clean up like this. My rear seat where the canvis rested was horribe. I thought replacement wouls be the only option. The captain seat was even worse. I used the Star Brite mildew remover and stiff bristle plastic brush to clean rhem yesterday. Sprayed it on and scrubbed...

I have a 2000 340 with V drives and have been struggling with this the last year or more. During the winter and the water is cool no problem. As soon as the temps increase the port engine will not start after running around then sitting for an hr or so. The port engine is impacted because its...

Thank you for all the input. I went with the Fusion MS-RA70NSX. While I think the Apollo series would be awesome, I just couldn't justify the expense based on our listening habits. However, this has probably started me down the upgrade rabbit hole of speakers and NEMA 2000 backbone.

Im in the process of changing out my stereo head unit to a Fusion. My dilemma is get one that is NMEA compliant or has wifi. Have been looking at the 70N. Whats the consensus on Wifi. Is it must have?

What did you use to sound shield the compartment and how did you attach it? Just spray adhesive or insulation hangers?

Are we sure this is a virus, or did they just open a Chipotle in China.

Agree 100% on supporting a site like Sailrite. Only thing I couldn't find on their website was #8 zippers.

Im just beginning to delve into the canvas sewing arena, so have been checking out websites for supplies. Besides Sailrite where do you guys recommend for things like zipper, canvas, thread etc?
