I'm a little late in getting back to everyone - the advice and response to this and all my questions have been spot on and greatly appreciated. Thanks to all!
Sorry, been out of pocket. We're D dock. Have spent most of the summer in Cincinnati. Hope to make the color cruise this year. I'll stop by this weekend.
I’m interested in everyone’s advise:
We purchased a 2006 320DA as a re-introduction to boating after a 25 year absence, 3-kids, etc...
Based in Chattanooga, we’re facing retirement and lots of free time.
The 320 is OK for Chickamauga, but am concerning we will want something bigger for river...
Thanks again for everyone’s feedback. What a great resource; everyone has been great. As a newer boat owner I really appreciate the feedback.
I bought the M400BB and their external speaker to fill the hole left by the NS100.
I pulled my C80 out for repairs and I’d like to replace the NS100 VHF while the console is open.
I assume it is a “black box” radio with the guts hidden under / behind the console? I see something behind and to the right of the steering column.
Any tricks or advise on what to avoid?
Thanks -
Thank you Todd. I look at this but finally saw the switch a little off to the right. I would not have found it without your help. It makes me realize I don’t know what I don’t know.

My anchor caught an abandoned anchor; before I knew what happened, my windlass motor slowly stopped.
I now get clicking sounds, from the control box I think, when I try to operate the windlass.
I now think it is the control box; however is there a breaker panel, perhaps in the bilge, that...
Should have started with more info...
Twin V-drives, about 380 hours. Started before annual oil change but noise still there upon start up.
May need another 1/2 qt each to top off oil after but noise is in Starboard.
I’m in a good marina and should be able to get a tech to weigh-in but...
