So during my "pre-flight checks" on Saturday I noticed my port motor was making a sort of clanking noise and I isolated it to the raw water pump which I found leaking as well. A pretty steady drip the whole time. I took a video, since I couldn't really see what was going on behind the pulley...

Thanks everybody, I'll likely go that route.

Thanks for the referral!

Interesting, so did you simply bypass the main control board? My issue is a bit different in that the unit is trying to run with AC power connected but the compressor won't kick in. I actually have to unplug the AC power cord from the unit and it fires right up on DC power. But seeing as...

So I did most of my commissioning this weekend and had an issue with my cabin refrigerator. This is a Waeco/Dometic unit. For some reason the compressor won't run when connected to AC (shore) power and the unit eventually throws a 3 red flash error. If I disconnect the AC power all is well...

That's all I use if you look at the msds you'll see it's really the exact same thing as the $40 a can running gear paint.

Off topic, but on topic. My buddy has his 08 350 for sale if you like that model and want to look at other options. Nice boat and well maintained, I know that he just did both CF3 modules to get in front of the paint delamination issue and both (I believe) water pumps were replaced as well as...

Doh! You could try one of the "mix your own color" kits that they sell at auto parts stores (track auto, pep boys,etc.) Worth a shot for the $30 bucks it costs and it couldn't make it any worse than a 2" slice in the seat. Let us know how it goes if you try it, pics are good!

Congrats, she's a damn fine looking vessel. Enjoy!

I can be of little assistance to you but I will be following, since this is on my list as well. I'd love to see the final product and photos of the install! I can say this, when I did my stereo upgrade I ran wires through the arch and had all the vinyl/fabric covers off. There is a decent...

Great lakes just ended their spring 25% off sale...maybe if you're real nice they'll extend it for you??? Very easy to deal with folks and they've got all the specs for our boats (OEM) so you know you'll be getting a "factory quality" product.

I'd try something like the WD40 penetrating spray. Its designed to loosen up seized/rusty/etc. threads so it could work.

yea agreed... I'm not an uber/lyft/etc. driver, but I can guaran-dang-tee you that I wouldn't be one if drove a $200K Bentley, why would I do it with a $200K boat????

ehh... a little 5200 and some new bottom paint and it'll be fine.

I certainly would have opted for a white hull if I had the option at the time, however the "right boat" at the "right price" happend to have a blue hull. Mine is an '09 and it was in pretty good shape when I got the boat thanks to an "open checkbook" PO. I've been pretty diligent at polishing...

That is on the Admiral's list of duties while underway. :grin:

Fancy, fancy. My washer fluid reservoir consists of me throwing a cup of water on the windshield when I get salt streaks. :smt043

You could try to line the inside of the storage area with somehting like dynamat. Another thing could be to look at seat-to-fiberglass meeting point, maybe put some stick on weather stripping on there to insulate the vibration.

I use Raindar and it is, IMHO, a very good nearly real-time app that isn't cluttered with ads, and is fairly quick to respond to zoom and map movements.

Cliff you can do this you just can't solder the speker wires direct to the back of an RCA plug. You need to use a line level converter so that the unit provides the appropirate load to the head unit. You can easily get these at crutchfield or another mobile audio dealer. You could use...
