interested in this front end convo..... im under cover as well, bit the nose sticks out - approx from where the cabin cap dips down to the horizontal deck and fwd is exposed. already have soft deck at the winless, cleats, etc.
lol..... facepalm!! i was hoping this thread would be about replacing the door lock, and finding a replacement for cheap/reasonable price...... seeing as mine doesn't lock from the inside..... well this changes everything.... thx for saving me $$$ as always!
My gauges and panel come on with nav lights only.... but the inverter was bad (good 12V DC in, but no AC voltage out).... instead of tracking down the crappy (and i'm sure expensive inverter), I bought a pair of automotive, 12V, waterproof LED's in red. Cut the inverter and wired right into its...
I believe I have the old style, based on pics of what the new style "should" look like..... based on saturday's findings, it is believed that the hydro-lock was likely caused by a cracked/damaged intake manifold gasket, head cover gasket, or manifold/riser assy.....cracked due to the heat...
Well the adventure continues to say the least....!! About 40 miles into the crossing back north, alarms started buzzing. I brought her down to idle to inspect gauges and identify what the problem was - the port engine overheated. Opened the hatch and killed the port engine. We saw the port...
Well - the adventure never ceases here on Positive Lattitude. So far, nothing tops day 1 - and with the boating gods by our side, nothing will!!! Found the business end of a bouy - luckily we had dive gear aboard... :) Snapped my danforth on GOD KNOW WHAT!!! Decided enough was enough and...
Well this has proven to be quite a.... let's just say interesting.... trip thus far!! Killed the pump for fresh water and snapped my new antenna before even leaving the marina. Rain all morning. Then the stbd engine died just 30 miles into our trip (before we could even leave the ICW).

Both refrigerators in my 2000 340da run great in 120v. But when switched to 12v, I get nothing. As I am new to large boats, figured I'd ask for help in looking at the simple/stupid/easy b4 I go ripping things apart.
Yes - 12v refrigerator breaker in cabin is "on" and no signs of being...
I've been digging through the forums this past week for suggestions and advise as I prepare for the trip - quickly approaching (Aug 3 to Aug 15). Lots of good reads!! Unfortunately some of them are many years old..... so as go time approaches, any last minute suggestions? We are planning on...
A touch off topic, but I'm hoping someone who has worked the wirring can give some direction.... I have the cockpit fridge on my 2000 340da. Both the cockpit fridge and cabin fridge have no 12v power..... I'm not sure if there's a breaker somewhere (or something otherwise simple that I'm...
Heading out to Faro Blanco next week. First visit there...usually stay further up on marathon in a condo as we always brought fishing boats down.... now that my condo floats, no need for the one on dry land and trying out the whole marina thing..... other than where to get fuel and gotta for...
