Thank you

I had a similar issue. I bought my boat a few years ago with a newer front canvas and rear Bimini.

I had to pay a local place to make the rear slant cover that goes from the Bimini to back of the boat. It wasn’t cheap......
 
I have another question about exhaust resonators. How do you install them being that the first exhaust turn is so close to the exhaust elbow? Shouldn’t there be a minimum distance from elbow to first exhaust turn. Thanks.
 
Hey guys I was wondering if any of you guys changed out the plastic slam latches for the stainless ones if you did where did you purchase them and what size are they. Also I was thinking about swapping out the ice maker for a refridgrator has any of you guys done that and is it worth it and which one did you go with.

There is a min distance, I think it was 17” downstream of riser which would put it up against the muffler there was a bulletin about it

Saw them on amazon and I thought about that for the fridge but haven’t pulled the trigger
 
Has anyone removed the old galley tv/ VHS tape on their 340 Amberjack? I don’t see how it was mounted in the cabinet opening . It seems like it might be glued in.

Might be screwed in through the bottom cabinet underneath the TV look on the ceiling of the cabinet and see if there’s any screws holding down the TV on a piece of wood maybe similar to how the microwave is held in

I used closed cell self adhesive door foam which created a good snug fit blocking out water while using the shower. You can find it at most hardware stores.

Mine had a couple screws upward through the cabinet on the front bottom. When they were removed it could be slid out. 330EC, but I assume it is similar.

We keep our in the mirror medicine cabinet and have not had any issues (AND my kids are not real careful when showering).

On my 330 da I replaced wth these. Just make sure you buy the right ones for your panel thickness. There is a locking version as well that I used on my transom locker.

Two screws under the front lip and it slides out. What are you planning on putting there? I'd like to make ours a cabinet and debating if I try to match some type of door or one of the rollup doors. Or just screw piece of trim to the front as a catch and leave it open. We already mounted a flatscreen on a swivel to the bulkhead facing the bed.

That’s a first as for as I have heard ,if you can’t source it I’m surr a local machine shop could fabricate one

Well leave it up to me to have something fail that really never does. Bummer. I'll pull the seat apart this winter and see what crapped out.

What exactly crapped out on it I mean mine will stay up at 90° until I pull them down into the seated position or if I raise the engine hatch to a certain degree they will tip forward a little bit , the size of the bolster Kinda keeps them in place until you pull them down into the seated position
