After docking my 320 probably 700 times with only 1 real mishap 15 years ago, my heart pounds every single time I dock. Glad you yelled at the GF…definitely need to keep everyone safe as priority 1. Sorry for the damage though.

Interesting My 2012 V8 was traded last week at 176000 miles. Up until the last month it was the most reliable vehicle I ever purchased, which seems a little surprising for the brand. Virtually no repairs except wear items. Alas i did not buy another one though. Needed something that’s a bit...

Wow. I had 100000 service done on my F150 and as I left it ran rough. I brought it back and they replaced the coil (or something). Still wasn’t running right. brought it to my local independent mechanic and… you guessed it….cracked spark plug. I never went back. Glad yours is fixed now...

Try switching the IACs? Worth a try possibly you got a bad one?

Yes. To be clear In the cockpit I believe you need the NR740. The 51 would work for the cabin. I need to replace mine as well only because it’s LOUD.

Sounds very familiar. I won’t do it again…

I think my safe harbor marina charges 2x everything compared to west marine…

Interested in a window; I assume it’s the entire hardware in and out? My inside toggle broke off on one window. Part 1453992

I didn’t smell anything; mechanic mentioned this spring that it appeared worn as he attached the drive, so I’m making an assumption. Yes, Bravo III.

Lost my port engine engine today; coming in and my I/O is just spinning. Engine itself is running and I believe my shift cable is connected. I’m assuming coupler needs replacement, which I think is a boat haul and engine pull. Any thoughts on this repair? I’ve owned the boat since 2007; first...

That is exactly right; I get the added benefit of electrical connections in there which is awesome with water.....

If you’re talking where the central vac is; mine was wet for a while. It was coming around the window in the head and works it’s way to that spot. You can easily check by putting your hand up the access panel in your medicine cabinet to see if wet after rain.

I think it goes almost straight out per the drain on the port side of the boat. I clean mine often and replaced once, but it always has ac water in it. Mine also gets stuck on and again needs a cleaning. Like you, no showers!

On my mercruiser 5.0 mpi this is the part. Slightly behind flame arrestor near red circuit breaker. Mine would work sporadically as well. I couldn’t predict it.

Thanks for sharing. Was it an easy fix? How did you determine that to be the problem? thanks!
