All the time. I remove the port fill cap and blow out the port vent line by covering it with a little contraption I made from a suction cup and attaching the air pump I use to inflate the water toys.

Check behind the hatch in the head compartment in the aft cabin. Should be mounted behind the fresh water pump.

I used to keep my sailboat down there. Great place to keep a boat.

Congratulations. You will not be disappointed.

Do you know which engines he has and what his hours were?

Frank, It does tend to roll a bit in a quartering sea. From my perspective however, it was not uncomfortable and I always felt under control. I try to avoid going out in those conditions but I don't have any real concerns if I find myself facing rougher seas. The boat fulfills the needs of my...

Does anyone have any insight as to why I have no start up alarms or power when I attempt to start my generator? I engage the generator solenoid, the button illuminates. When I push the start button, nothing. I'm getting 12v at the starter. Not sure where to start troubleshooting. Thanks.

I had each of the issues described in this thread on my 2004 390 MY. I replaced the city water plumbing last fall and the issue seemed to be resolved. Had an instance of the carpet on the port side next to the bunk in the aft cabin being wet again several weeks ago. We had a driving Nor'easter...

Sounds like a tripped GFCI. Find all of them and re-set. I had the same thing happen to me. Was a GFCI under the steps of my 390 MY next to the central vacuum.

Has anyone ever experienced a humming sound through your stereo speakers while your engines are running? I have a 390MY. I often experience this noise through the speakers whether the stereo is on or off. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks. J
