    I replaced my white plastic vents above the fridge with stainless versions. They're the exact same vent as the horn vent on the bow which I also replaced.

    Thanks Bill. I'm not sure why it shows a 2000. All of the pumps on the boat were 2000gph's in the parts manual. Maybe that was just to make it easy to not have to stock multiple sizes for that production line. All of the new sump box setups that I've seen use a 750 or 800. I'll just leave...

    I know that this has been talked about here and there. Once again, I'm replacing my float switch and pump in my shower sump. I've considered electronic switches which don't appear to be great, air switches which don't like dirty water, mercury, etc. Think I'm going back to the simple heavy...

    Today was screen replacement day on my 98. The factory screens are glued to the gasket. The retrofit kit (P-100-04-RETRO) comes with a screen in a frame and new gasket that it fits into. I've been putting this off for years thinking that I would have to take the whole portlight apart and...

    I just pulled the trigger on 2 of the P100-04-RETRO kits. Go 2 Marine has them on sale for $42. I spoke with Bomar. They were not a huge help as far as this S616 portlight was on our boats vs the very similar S718. I think it's the 616 though, and will report back. These kits are $75 each...

    I know that they came up with the retrofit. Not sure the year. May just affect the earlier boats. We do the same thing now with house construction. Instead of nailing a screen in as the old days, we just order framed screens as a window would have, and block them in for screened in patios...

    I I bought these. Got mine from Hodges Marine, but this part number. I didn’t see a reason to unbed the factory switch and tossed the new ones in my parts stash. Just used the cap and rubber step pad. Nice heavy casy stainless. Screw holes align. They were $226 for the pair at Hodges...

    As near as I can tell, the old style screen was kind of mounted into the hatch itself. The new or retro refit comes with a new screen in a plastic frame with new gasket. I've watched a couple of Youtube videos on it. Seems pretty straightforward. I had initially just ordered the screen...

    Opened up the boat for the season yesterday and was thinking about replacing my side nav lights. The white plastic body is pretty chalky, and would like to go with new stainless. Swore I saw these years ago in stainless, but can't find them again. Was thinking about going with these...

    I've really been enjoying this guy's Youtube channel. Very informative. I've even learned a few things here and there from Boogaboo when he had his 400 a few years ago and about the same time I bought mine. The 2nd inline muffler for the gen is one of the best things that I've done.

    Interesting over on the Ebay. 98 400DB only needing about $5K and 200 hours to be ready to go.....HA! Yes, I'm seeing parts that I could use too! Interesting to see some of the gutted pics...

    Looks like they have a list of distributors on their page. I'll bet any of them could get you going on who might be able to mail one to you with a part number. I replaced the gas shocks and gasket on mine a couple of years ago. The floor in that locker was horribly designed with just plywood...

    Roger, I just sent you a bunch of photos with all of the tabletop measurements in a conversation that I started with you. Let me know if you need anything else, or have any issues getting them. Good luck with your new table! Been thinking about having a custom one made myself.

    With the crazy weather this week, Oklahoma will be hovering in single digits for the next few days and not get over around 20. It's usually in short burst like that around here, so we don't haul out. It will probably be 65 next week. Had an extra camera laying around the house, so ran up to...

    It is. It's a freshwater boat. There's not a spec of corrosion or rust anywhere. I replaced my original 25 year old zincs last spring just because the boat was out anyway, and they were still in great shape!

    Wow, what an excellent write up. Thank you! I saved this in a Word doc and dropped it in my "boat" folder. I can't imagine that the coupler is bad either. I pulled the shaft and had it checked at a machine shop that specializes in machinery shaft straightening. It was at 5/1000's which I...

    Anyone ever replaced a shaft coupler on 7.4 gas motors? Need a part number. Chasing a vibration, and literally everything else has been replaced, aligned, or verified for true. (Or at least has supposed to have been.). Can’t imagine that they wear out, but for the $125 or so that they cost...

    Roger, did anyone ever get this for you? Mine is in my attic. Be happy to crawl up there and get dimensions for you. We moved our salon table up there instead. Much easier to maneuver around.

    My stock props are 22x24's. I picked up a set of 22x23's from a guy that had sold his boat and had a spare set of 22x23's. Figured it would be nice to have an extra set since we plan to do the loop at some point. Put the 23's on in the spring. Seems to spin up a little faster as to be...
