I've had this issue, more than once. The drain line from the AC unit under the V berth gets clogged going to the shower sump. It over flows and fills those two compartments one by one.
An air nozzle at one in should blow it out down into the shower sump. I used a shop-vac to vacuum out the...
Congratulations! I'm running a '98 down here in Florida and love it. Bought it two years ago with 310 hours, and have definitely run them up since then. Enjoy it!
I just went through Isaias last night. Face into the wind... last night was bumpy with aft facing north.
As others have said at least double up the lines. I had two to port and starboard of the bow, two crossed off the stern, and two springs. Total of 10 lines. Over kill? Yes, but always...
I thought they did, but I've never had experience installing a compressor myself. Although, this may be a good practice for my AC unit that I think is starting to fail...
I replaced that same valve on mine, but in my case, it was stuck shut. Unfortunately after getting another year or so out of it due to the above repairs, my compressor died. I'm going to try to find an appliance shop around to replace it. Otherwise, I'll be upgrading to a better cooler in...

Thanks!
I’m in the same boat. I normally work from home, but my girlfriend is now doing the same. Rather than being stuck in the hotbed that Orlando has become, we have been working from the boat for the past few months.
I’ve got a cheap printer and mobile scanner that have worked wonderfully with my...
Good luck!
For what it’s worth, mine we’re also running along at 160 range without ever over heating. It was only after the engines sat for a bit that I would have any problems.
Keep us updated on progress!
Flytrade,
I had a similar (read almost identical) on my 98' 330. After a bit of trouble shooting, I came to the conclusion noted above about vapor lock. My solution was a multi-step approach.
First, I checked my impellers, they were in horrendous shape. Replaced and back flushed the...
I had a similar issue recently. I’m used to boating in Missouri versus in Florida. I hadn’t had the bottoms cleaned in far too long. Had a diver out. After two hours of scraping, it ran like a champ!
