Hi!
Same issue. It is probably the pressure regulator mounted to the forward bulkhead in the engine room. Had the same issue. It filled up between the stringers in the aft cabin closet then fed into that lower sump. It finally failed and was starting all over the ER. Bypassed it and the...
GLWS... What did I start!! You will love the 400 DB. Diesels? I'll be scanning the 400 DB thread for pics. I still want a DB someday, but right now very happy with the 410. Cruising the Bay is a different experience with an extra 10,000 lbs of displacement!!
Take Care!!
Good to hear that. I would be very careful running with the storm surge I would bet there is a ton of stuff floating around the Gulf all along your way!!! Take Care. Crazy how fast it spun up to a Cat 4...
Exactly. I have the orange hand pump you can buy on amazon or harbor freight. Put one end in the AF put a piece of duck tape on the output end, push it into the AC through hull and pump away. You will see the AF come out from under the boat when the raw water circuit is full. I would...
Good luck to all in the path. It is a bit premature to predict CAT2 I think so hopefully they are wrong!!! Models show the remnants swinging up through the Chesapeake here so I'll keep an eye on it. Looks like it might hit the western Carolinas causing more pain for all down there...
This one?

This boat has been my white whale for so long. I looked at it 5 years ago.. It was pristine then, but a lot can happen in 5 years.
I PM'ed you if you want to...

Read this, this morning. My heart and prayers go out to this family, a beautiful little girl lost. So tragic for all involved.
Welcome! Sorry for your issues. Since you have ruled out the drain plug and given that with the drive up there is more water, I would suspect your issue is either the shift cable sheath or exhaust bellows. Both are normal wear and tear items that need replaced over time, given the vintage of...
I like the usability of the cockpit with camper canvas. I think if done right it can look good and be functional. I like what one of our members (boat name BOP) not sure if that is his screen name did. Looks really good in black... It's on the list... (Sorry to drive the thread off track and...
Not sure, probably nothing big enough to handle the bridge. I think the bridge unit is 16,000 btu? I am just going from memory when I was looking around...
The best advice I got from a fellow member here was you want the boat with the bridge air and hydraulic platform, adding them after...
I agree with the .8 mpg. On my 330 with 454's the secondaries opened up around 3200 rpm. I did not have floscans. But my fuel consumption varied from 28-32 gals per hour for both engines on flat calm day, that would get me around 22 knots. The 34 is wider and bit heavier then my old 330 so...
You need a bluetooth GPS to run with you WIFI only IPAD. I use a Dual model you can pick it up on Amazon. It will track perfect once you have that.
I use an Android Tablet that has a GPS built in and Navionics. It tracks perfect compared to my Northstar 952 on the boat. A lot of non...
Not going to talk about the looks, it is taste specific... But I agree the interior is nice, looks very comfortable.
Good for them pursuing the Loop!!! I hope it fits under the bridge in Chicago, or it will be a round trip back to Grand Haven. It looks to be over 18' tall.. I googled it...
Umm from my perspective tire+antifreeze does not have the mass to off set a ripple on his boat..... But good luck to ya! Hope he shares the video of the tests.
Oh and I like the Top Hat!!!
Seakeepers are put together right up the road from me, I just started following them on Instagram...
Yep I believe it was an option as early as 1997. It would be the bluewater MPI engines in the 97-98. Something to consider is around the 98 time frame the horizon engines came on the scene and with them came the dreaded water ingestion nightmare. If you skip those years you are into the 340...
