Outside of the obvious like the switch itself or a short, my vessel has a solenoid behind the electric panel in the cockpit port locker. I suspect if it was bad your foot switches wouldn’t work either, but it is an idea....

Interested in what you uncover.

I don't have the boat anymore, but I believe there was a switch on the console which turned the windlass on.....and then you used the up and down switch to operate the windlass. Double check that switch also.
 
Well my 2 1/2 year old Dometic AC unit in the salon decided to die. Lost all the freon through a leak in the condenser core.

Looked at buying a MarinAire unit to replace it, but got a better deal on a replacement Dometic through Great Lakes Skipper. The MarinAire only has a 1 year warranty, versus 2 year for the Dometic.

Hopefully the new unit will last longer. :rolleyes:

Remind me again: What's the definition of insanity?

Yep.

We have so few choices in AC, it's a "take it or leave it" deal. I had 20+ year old AC units in my Bayliner 4550 that worked flawless. Today's units are throw aways. Expensive throw aways.

True. I was just having some run with you. No offense meant! :)
 
If you are replacing your tachometers you may consider getting Atena digital tachometers
 
Does anyone know a good 12V monitor for a Garmin back up camera my GPS does not interface with it
 
Inside table near couch.
Does anyone have a picture of the insert near the Port side couch that a table pole can fit into. Prior owner removed and I would like to add back. Thank you.

I just pulled mine off during my flooring project. You are welcome to it.
 
Starting to get a little excited here. My survey and sea trial is scheduled for this Friday. Since I know the owner, and how he cared for the boat, I'm expecting it to go smoothly. We will be doing a short haul to allow the surveyor to do the check of the running gear and the hull. While it's out, it seems like a good time to proactively replace the in-water zincs. Since this will be my first go-around with the 400, I'm looking for insight on where this boat has zincs, and what style they are? I'm coming from a 320DA, which had a big oval (approx 9" across) zinc on the transom, and round (3-4") zincs on each of the trim tabs. What styles of zincs does the 400DB require? Note: I'm not worried about the engine or generator zincs yet.
