I haven't read this entire thread, so I'll apologize in advance if this has been covered. I have a 2007 340 - I removed the old TV and mounted a new 43" smart TV (barely fits/clears). We can stream via the pier's wifi but I'd like to get over-the-air channels and hook into the built in DVD...

I removed the radar from my 07's arch and now want to remove bracket (I have a bridge to deal with). Four bolts protrude up from the arch, any idea what I'll find when I remove the nuts and remove the bracket? And what about a cap for the opening, is there something standard? And what about the...

Could someone offer a quick tutorial on my 07's shore power? My 290 had a single plug 40A/120(?). I believe my 340 has two plugs but only came with a single cord. The previous owner seemed clueless, the surveyor's explanation was murky. I have spare cords from the 290, wonder if they'll...

Thanks for the info Korkie. I just spoke with a local mechanic that told me most of these engines are fresh water cooled, which came as a surprise to me.

Also, 800 hours w/ compression between 170-175 in all cylinders, sounds good, right?

I will definitely read this entire thread but am hoping for some quick feedback. I'm looking at a 2007 340DA. I am being told that the stainless steel manifold have never been changed but were recently inspect by a mechanic and deemed OK, not requiring a change out. Did this model year come...

This pertains to my 16.5' center console. The bilge pump works manually via its on/off switch at the helm. It used to run automatically as well, but stopped. In the bilge I found a float switch with one wire torn out and hanging loose. The two float switch wires were not connected to the...

For posterity; I removed the circuit breaker panel near the stern door, bypassed the Sump Pump breaker with a set of alligator clips and found I had power under the step. I removed the Sump Pump breaker (a little fiddley) and replaced it with a new Carling A01 Guarded Rocker Style Circuit...

Still, actually, the boat is a '99 290 SD. I have two solid shiny wires, a pump and float switch that work but no power to the wires. The wires dive into the bulkhead under the stair pretty quickly. The sump pump switch on the stern door panel is "on". I don't see anything obvious on the engine...

No Power to Shower Sump, Again Still, actually. I have two solid shiny wires, a pump and float switch that work but no power to the wires. The wires dive into the bulkhead under the stair pretty quickly. The sump pump switch on the stern door panel is "on". I don't see anything obvious on...

Yep, on your back, arms out, sweat dripping, curses flying.

(Under) the step into the cabin fills with water. I've been chasing this for a couple summers now. I've blamed the shower sump, the AC drip pan and the shower drain, but never with conviction. This spring I found soaked towels in the galley cabinet with the roll-away doors, and equally soaked...

Thanks for all the input so far. I started the port side w/ jumper cables and let it run for 20 minutes, after which everything connected to the batteries ran but it still wouldn't start. Jumped it again, let it run for another 15 minutes at which point the port side belt had problems so I...
