Has anyone replaced the gasket in the Taylor Made hatch above the main stateroom?

Speaking of gauges, I have an alba-combi to connect the gauges to my chartplotter. Does anyone know which pins give the signal to be read? The gauges have multiple spots to attach to. I was able to figure out RPMs and (I think) fuel but struggling with the others.

After looking through Boattrader pics, it appears the port cockpit drain was added in 2001.

Wish my 98 had one. Took this pick the other day after washing mine when this question first appeared. Water pools on the port side.
Drives me crazy.
Will be following on how it goes adding the second scupper for you.

It should be fairly easy. I'm going to tap the main hatch drain line with a T fitting so I can use the same thru hull to drain. I'll post some pics when I do it.

Wow...that really is silly to only have one scupper. Why in the world would they do that?

Typical SR mentality. Cost savings.

I figure when they first designed the boat in 1996 the thought the gap under the transom door would work well to drain out water from the port side. After several years of owner feedback of puddling, they then improved it to add the second port side drain in 2001.
That's my theory.

You're probably right. Mine only has the one drain on the stbd side. But I don't have any issue with pooling on the port side. It all goes right out under the transom door.
But I also have the smaller holding tank on the port side (26 gals - I think). So maybe they added a few things on the port side as the years went on and the boat started to list a little more to port and then the pooling started. Just my theory.

Hey all - quick question - has anyone replaced their salon AC unit (the 16K) in their 400? It looks like mine is bad, had a quote for 4K to replace, looks like a simple replacement. Any thoughts, advice or words of wisdom?
Thank you in advance!
Mike

$4k! WTH? Go buy it yourself for $1600 (or less) and do the swap out. It's no big deal.

I agree, a window unit in an apartment is more trouble to replace.

I replaced mine with a Cruisair 16k turbo last year. At the time I paid $2300 from Citimarine (online) and installed it myself. Pretty straightforward removal and install. Units cost more now as they have gone through a slight redesign. Works with your existing SMX controller. If you decide to do this, give me a call Mike and I can give you more details.

Is that for the non-turbo model? I didn't find the turbo version for that low price anywhere.

Zincs on shafts? Yes or no?... boat was pulled for bottom paint and there was what was left of a zinc on Starboard shaft but Port was missing... I’ve read all sorts and there seems to be mixed opinions... thoughts?
