We took Blackberry Down out for a shakedown cruise this past weekend - both for the boat and for our new 6 month old daughter! Our daughter did much better than the boat though... A mile or so up the river - I hit a piece of wood that looked like a slat from a pallet... Nothing too terribly...

2006 340 w/ 8.1's. Boat has ~250 hours on it - was all freshwater until this year. Both engines have 12-13psi of water pressure at cruise - engines run 170 or under as well. Steams a good bit from both sides. No alarms - exhaust doesn't appear to be getting too hot? I had an I/O boat prior...

I have this on my '06 340. It used to get the speed from the GPS - but for some reason now its looking for the paddle wheel. I did do a software update on my C80 so it would read the new micro cards. GPS is reading speed correctly - just not certain how to get the Vessel View to look for...

We have 2 refrigerators - one in the cabin, and one up top under the sink. The one up top is awesome - brand is Norcold. It keeps drinks ice cold even on setting 4 out of 5. The one down under is cool - but not cold. The freezer can make ice and gets that little layer of frost on it - so its...

I'll preface this by saying that I'm moving up from a twin I/O 280 - so the rudder system and v-drive system are both new to me! I picked up my new to me boat today and noticed the following things when bringing her home... --steering felt very tough - especially at speed / was ok in slow...

Looks like one of the bolts that mounts the hyd. cylinder to the trim tab has a compromised seal. They are stainless screws with nuts on the inside. One of them has a rusty washer, looks to be a little damp and has a rust stain running down from it. This obviously has been an issue for a...

I just dropped the boat in today. Checked oil prior to launch (dealer serviced last fall). Both engines looked to be about a quart high. Called dealer to let them know... Of course, they said to run the engines until warm and re-check. Well - I did that, but engines still have what looks to...

...after a month and a half on the bottom of the bay! http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/readne/2008/09_03-31/TOP

I have a dealer maintained 2005 280DA w/ twin 5.0L Mercs w/ Bravo III's. I noticed this year that the starboard engine will run more revs than the port. I've inspected the props, drives, etc... I really think its just that the linkages aren't adjusted properly. I'm fairly mechanically...

I'm not sure this is the correct forum - but I have an '05 280DA w/ the factory Clarion stereo w/ Sirius. Its got the antenna on the radar arch - the sticker was on the window and I was able to retrieve the ESN out of the base unit - so my assumption is that it actually does have the Sirius...

I know that there have been several posts about water in bilges lately - my question is a little more generic I think. Is it possible to get a perfectly dry bilge!? It seems that I've got a very slight trickle from the drain plug. Can I expect to have a dry bilge or has my OCD really taken...
