    Renewing winshield frames

    I thought about that and I’m on the fence. I don’t think I really touch the windshield frame too much at all but I’m worried that as soon as they are 3000 degrees I might quickly find out that I actually do. I saw the chrome powder option. If I knew the shiny surface wouldn’t show every last...

    Renewing winshield frames

    I was starting to get some significant corrosion on the aluminum windshield frames so I've removed the windshied from the boat and taken everything apart. I plan on blending out any pitting, media blasting to get back to a uniform surface finish and then either getting the frames anodized or...

    Perko Sea Strainer Flush Caps

    I just drilled and tapped my existing Bronze srainer caps for 1/2" NPT threads. To winterize i screw in a short length of brass pipe with a hose attached that I can run to a bucket of antifreeze. 1/2" bronze plug inserted the rest of the time.

    Steering Wheel Shimmy at low speeds

    Air in your hydraulic steering system will feel like that. Check the fluid level at the helm, you may jave a small leak.

    Sundancer wet carpet on aft cabin floor

    Lift the seat cusion directly behind the steps. If you find water in this compartment you likely have water coming in through the porthole in the head. It can leak between the hull and the fiberglass interior shell and will migrate there. The ac condesate is routed to your shower sump. there is...

    Light base

    Couple things - if your new light is LED try reversing the wires at the light. LED lights often need to be connected in the correct polarity where old incandescent lights did not. the best way to troubleshoot is to use a multimeter (voltmeter) and test for voltage right at the two light wires...

    Official 320 Dancer Thread

    Definitely a flat plastic "T" with a short piece of flat elastic looped through the slide and sewn to the curtain.

    Any Pros and Cons are Appreciated - Looking to buy 2002 320 DA 350/300 V-Drives

    Slowest cruise speed will be about 3800 RPM and 23 knots so the engines work hard with that combo. With that said, while not a rocket ship it will get you where you are going. The engine room is very tight. I would say if you are a stickler for power go with a 340 but the 320 is perfectly...

    Galley receptical wiring? 2004 320

    Yes there are 2 GFIs on that boat, one in the head and one powering the cockpit fridge. Check both but likely the one in the head.

    The all clear to start Whistle when starting is no long heard. the kill switch is working

    That rusty thing thta fell off is indeed a knock sensor. you should replace it as it protects your engine from damage in the event of a condition known as detonation or "spark knock". However it will not prevent your engine from starting, the engine wont know its missing. The factbthat your...

    Cabin Light Fixture cover removal

    That entire fixture should turn about 1/4 turn counter clockwise then drop straight down. Turn till you feel it hit a stop. It helps to push up with the palm of your hand slightly while turning.

    Phone Mount Options...

    i saw this concept at a boat show quite a few years ago and played with it a bit. The magnet was super strong and it seemed to work very well. It was very expensive at the time and i see there are many knock offs out now for much less, i doubt they are of the same quality. If your dash allows a...

    Where to buy flame arrestor?

    You are correct it is the 863416T. good to know there is one out there, i dont see it right now but i will keep my eyes open. Nuwave has them for just under $200 but it still seems like a crazy price for a piece of plastic. Maybe I'm just cheap...
