Thanks Jim. I will look there next time I get down to the lake. Sounds like a step back in design. Looks like they could of made a drain to the bilge or something. I won't drain it in that compartment then. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks again.

I just took delivery of my 400 yesterday. I was all over it trying to find everything. The last thing I was looking for was the hot water heater. The owners manual says it is in front of the water tank. How do you access it and where is it normally bypassed for winterizing?
Any help would be...
Good move going with the 400. My wife and I had a 340 and just bought a 400. We love it. On my 340 we had the grill mounted on a pedestal on the swim platform. We liked it there and used it all the time. The previous owner of the 400 we just bought mounted his grill with recess mounts from Magma...
My wife flies for the airlines and I fly for a company in St. Louis and the last picture is our Bonanza that gets us to to our boat in Lake of the Ozarks.
The plane will stop in Anchorage for a crew swap and then head out to Hong Kong. I still fly a Falcon 50 from time to time. I still love flying the 50. It is a great plane for Europe trips but a bit short legged for Asia.
Welcome. Just got back from Germany last week. leaving for Hong Kong tonight in a Falcon 900.
Its been a long hard winter and I'm ready for it to be over. I miss my boat.
Flew my Bonanza down to Lake of the Ozarks last weekend and checked on my boat. The trip just made me hate winter even more...
The forecast for Lake of the Ozarks this weekend is for the highs to be in the 60s. Naturally I have the itch to start un-winterizing some stuff on the boat. The first thing I was going to do was to put a new impeller in my generator and get it running so I can have some heat at night when I...
Great post. My 340 is a year older than yours but identical to the pictures you took. I will try to change mine at the end of next season. I appreciate you taking the time to take pictures and write this up. It will certainly make my first try easier.
Thanks again.
My wife and I bought our 340 at the end of last season. It has the 8.1s and a gen. I think it would be a big mistake not to have the gen. We use it a lot out in the lake during the short amount of time we got to use it before we winterized it. I miss my boat.
I went down a couple of weeks ago...
Thanks for the tips. I went down to the lake this week and changed the port engine in-line filter. I didn't have any trouble and didn't spill much fuel. MM had only one of the filters which was about $58.00. I would be interested in the A/C Delco filter next year.
I will change the starboard...
Thats good to know. Do you know what model Artec you have? I just bought a Artec T3AP LL off of E-bay. I don't know what the difference is between the models. I am sure this one will work fine though.
I know a few of you have installed converters for your older TVs. I saw where a few of you installed the Artec T3AP. I was considering using the Artec due to its smaller size. There are several different models of the Artec. Does anyone know the difference between the Pro, LL, or LS? I can't...
Cool.
I just got back from a trip I flew this week. I took a Falcon 900EX to Manila, Philippines - Zhensen, China - Mumbai, India and I got off the plane in Helsinki, Finland to airline home. Great trip but I needed to get home to winterize my boat for the first time. Going down tomorrow to...
