Has anyone made the leap to a 12V TV. Looking for Fall football without the generator. What did you buy and why? Thanks.

If the heater was turned on without water, the element will burn out.Does anyone have knowledge of the reset button I just found in my searches? Will it trip if the unit was turned on with no water?
Hoping for an easy fix. Just taking the pic was painful!
Glad you got it fixed. I've had terminal plugs burn on mine. After 2 sets of thermostats, things seem to be back to normal.Thanks Wayne. I got lucky and the reset switch worked.
Hello everyone...
Just wanted to introduce myself...
I'm a soon to be new (hopefully) owner of an early '03 340 with a survey scheduled next Monday. Had been chasing a 360 about a month ago but that survey found issues that killed the deal.
Lots of terrific info in this thread and very thankful that so many folks share with great detail.
Hope to be a fully participating member soon
We installed an inverter that supplies the outlets in the boat. There are aftermarket systems out there. Ours turns on using the forward assy switch at the helm. It kicks itself off if the shore power is plugged in or the genny is started. Also when it reads voltage down to 12.2 volts. It is only a 750 amp, so will not run micro, ac, large loads. Only for small loads - a fan, tv, electronics chargers, etc. We love it, works great.Has anyone made the leap to a 12V TV. Looking for Fall football without the generator. What did you buy and why?

FinishedNew to us making it ours begins.
Some advice and info from the group please... I've been away from boating for quite a while.
With my 340 DA survey just a few days away I've been given some maintenance history by the existing owner. It shows one exhaust manifold changed out 3.5 year ago and the other 4 years ago.
The boat has been living in salt water in the Long Island Sound - not far from NYC. With salt water, isn't it recommended to change out the exhaust manifolds every 3-4 years? Also, appreciating costs are regional, what might I expect to pay a marina for that change out?
I'm handy enough to be dangerous, but this is too big a job for me as my first upgrade
Thanks,

KevinC, thank you...
That's just the kind of insight/info I was hoping for. I'm pretty sure I can do the change-out but I was more uncomfortable with me doing it right away. I'll wait to see what the surveyor/mechanic finds next week and take it from there.
You're a gentleman...
