I've gotta tackle the rust issue myself ASAP. Tried a coat of Rustoleum in the pan last spring but it didn't last the whole summer. So I'm going to have to find a replacement pan. How difficult is the removal and re-installation of the A/C? I'm tempted to try it but it looks really, really...

I'm having a little trouble with getting my shifters to find the neutral "click". They also have a bit of different tension strengths between port and starboard, forward and reverse. From what I read, there are adjustments that can be done on the shifters in the cockpit for this (instead of...

At the risk of sounding like an ass, have you checked to make 100% sure that it didn't get shifted into gear somehow? On my 320, I once started panicking because my starboard engine wouldn't re-fire after a few hours at anchor. Checked everything and it still wouldn't even try to turn over ...

Thanks, Jason! Sounds like the route I'm going to take, as well. What Rustoleum product did you purchase? Will the aerosol spray work? I had planned to grab a can of the Rustoleum leak seal (in white color). Again, thanks for the quick reply! - Mark

Where did you get your replacement pan? I'm in desperate need of a new one! Tired of all the rusty water going out the sump! - Mark

My 2005 320DA Owners Manual says "Bulb Replacement: Bulb# GE2641L 12V R 10W". Hope that helps!

Try to start the engine with the throttle halfway up, especially if you just idled the past couple of times. I had the same problem happen when I was idling in my slip a lot longer than I had initially planned (due to a boat a few slips down having trouble getting out). Tried several times to...

So I'm looking for a solution to the rusty-AC-pan-water-in-shower-sump-and-outside-drain-stain-on-gelcoat. I had a lot of rusty residue in the shower sump that I attempted to clean out as best I could. Does the hydrogen peroxide trick really work by putting some in the drain pan and letting it...

Okay, you're out there on your vessel, anchored in your favorite spot, cold drink in hand, and you're enjoying the sun, the warmth, and the water. What's the ideal music that's playing in the background? I'm putting together the ultimate boating playlist and looking for suggestions! Thanks in...

They kinda look like this, Jim (except they have the brass tops; not sure about the brand). So I should be able to adjust to make that port shifter "click" into Neutral? Thanks. - Mark

** NOTE: I accidentally posted this in the DIESEL forum; my engines are actually GAS ** Having an issue with finding the Neutral position "click" with my port shifter on my 320DA. The shifter is a little stiff and sometimes requires a little more "umph" to go forward or reverse, but it's...

Not sure how much help this is (since you have a 48DA), but on my 2005 320DA, the amp is located under the seat of the sofa in the salon. You have to pull the seat all the way out, then remove the screws underneath that attach it to the sliding track. Mine's equipped with amps and cross-overs...

Wow, you guys nailed it. Got under the sofa and checked out the amp wiring today. Sure enough, I was able to isolate it to the RR speaker connection on the Clarion APX480M. Multimeter readings were all over the place for that channel so I guess the whole amp is shot. Any idea on whether it...

How much force should I use doing that, Jon? To be clear, you're saying to first slide the sofa all the way out, THEN try lifting up on the back cushion from the bottom? I don't want to break anything. :-) Thanks!

Had a friend of mine also suggest checking the amp connections. I know my amps are located under my salon sofa, but the speaker wire connections are on the opposite side of what I can access through the hinged hatch near the floor. How do I remove the slider sofa seat to be able to access the...
