I've done it the way bobeast suggested, both directly to 12v and with converters.
For a small tv and roku I've used one of these 12v to 19v converters https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Converter-Regulator-Waterproof-Transformer/dp/B01H97ETP8/ref=psdc_10967761_t1_B07T2X9KPX

You have the "crab" style distributor caps correct? If so, replace them no matter how they look. They have several issues but there's a specific one where, as I recall, the cap gets carbon tracks and hairline cracking and when you get above 3500 RPMs, spark advances and cross fires in the cap...
Hello 320 owners! Selling an acculift engine hatch actuator from my 2004 320. In nice shape. Thanks and hope y'all have a great season.

Model # SRC-18-24-50. 24'' retracted, 18'' throw. Bought for engine hatch of 2004 320 Sundancer.
Bought it in 2017 after months of stalking the acculift folks. And then it didn't synch up with the old one. Other one was too beat up - speed and throw were off. Yep, Shoulda ordered two.

Don't know what your engine room looks like but if you could take it out Defender has Dometic tanks for under $400. Have a 29 gallon tank in mine and I could remove it if necessary. I'd even go down to 25 gallon to make a new one fit. Depends on your setup and usage though.
+1 Standard Horizon VHF. Replaced the old Raymarine with the SH model that has GPS and AIS for half the price. Favorite part was adding the $35 loudhailer. Safety, convenience, and it's Loud. The jetskiers around me are on notice.
As the man said above the nav equipment is preference. Have...
I'm in Connecticut, middle of long island sound, about a half mile up a river. Last year we had unusual furious bottom growth. Lost about 5mph. Couldn't get close to the normal RPMs. It was struggling to get to 29mph and usually cruises at 26. scraped and did fresh bottom paint over winter...
Late reply on this so you're probably all set but I'll chime in in case it helps anyone. I reattached both mine this year. Felt them coming loose after thorough spring cleaning. The second practically fell off from a light bump of a deck brush.
Comments above are correct about adhesive...
As Oceanpearl said- slave solenoid. Had same problem and was guessing so I changed the switch actuator and probably some other stuff because I like to dick around and waste money. But a good mechanic was on the boat to fix something else and knew what it was- i think from hearing/not hearing...
Hi Irie- I grew up in Branford and am there most weekends. The mooring balls, as far as I know, are private but depending on the night there may be a couple you can use. I know the owner of at least one of them and a few of them belong to yacht clubs in town. I was there monday but anchored...
Hi all, sorry for the delay- been a busy couple weeks.
I've docked her in Branford last 3 years. We go over to CT river a lot- have friends in Essex and all around there. Hamburg Cove is a favorite.
I grew up boating in New Haven back when Shell and Bones was called the Chart House.
As mentioned above, wifi iPads- those that don't have a cellular chipset- also do not have a GPS chipset. They triangulate with wifi and Apple's iBeacon. As I understand, cellular devices also use the other location services. Not sure how the device prioritizes location services but it can...
Hello All, greetings from CT. I've been reading this board on and off for a few years but recently it has helped me tremendously. Not a new owner- have had my 320 for about 5 years...so about time to introduce myself. And thank you for all the knowledge!
