I recently installed a new Garmin transducer for my new Garmin MFD (943xsv). I still have the older transducer in place from previous device, and it is mounter next to my new one, maybe 12” from it. Out of curiosity I connected a stand alone depth gauge (Raymarine i40) to the old transducer...
1998 400 DA. Medicine cabinets in both heads have mirrored faces that are aged and deteriorating around the edges. Anyone know of a way to replace or fix. Searched FP Marine and no luck. Wonder if I could just break and remove the glass mirror surface and glue new custom cut ones on but...
Does anyone know the "type" or exact model of thru hull transucer was used on the tridata system. 1998 400DA. My Parts manual lists it as:
Transducer Depth Retractable Bronze (B&G) PN: 0947556.
I am trying to see if i can make it work with a new Raymarine i40 depth instrument that says it...
I have a 1998 400 DA. Original refer is a Norcold DE0061. It is dead, or at least on its way to to the grave. Looking to replace it. From the reviews I have read I am nervous about putting in another of the same model, and would prefer Vitrifrigo or Novacool, but between Covid-19 and tariffs...

Does anyone know the exact hose size that goes from the strainer to the engine heat exchanger on a 2001-2003 Mercruiser 8.1L MPI gas engine. I am pretty sure it is 1-1/2" but cannot be certain. I measured the circumference and from that I determined the OD is approx. 1.67". The engines have...
Does anyone know the torque spec on the brass sea water pump body assembly. 2003 8.1L Merc. Horizon.
I know on the plastic bodies from the 7.4L it is 10ftlbs. Learned the hard way when I cracked one on my last boat. Not sure how critical it is on the brass body of the 8.1L.
Thanks.
Does anyone know if the impellers for 2003 8.1L Mercruiser Horizon engines are the same as for a 2000 7.4L MPI. I was told they are, but when I go to Mercruiser website they show different part numbers.
For the 8.1L it shows PN: 47-862232a2 (Sierra match is 18-3016-1)
For the 7.4L it shows...
Purchasing a new teak cockpit table from Marineteak. Teak comes natural unfinished and they recommend using Semco Teak Sealer on it. Opinions on Semco Sealer vs other brands. Thanks
We have a 1998 400 DA. Came equipped with standard 120VAC icemaker in the cockpit. I want to change it out to a two-way (120VAC/12VDC) refrigerator (which was an upgrade option for this boat when new). I have checked behind the existing ice maker and I do not see any 12VDC source pre-wired...
Moving from our 340DA to a 1998 400 DA. Non skid on platform and bow deck is practically non existent and anything but “non-skid.” Looking for suggestions to improve. I can try seadek or similar product on platform but not sure what to do on the bow. Anyone ever have boat “regelcoated” with...
Time to change my transmission fluid. 2000 340 DA w/ 7.4L V-drives. Trans. are Hurth 630. I have read conflicting posts on how to get the old fluid out. Can it be sucked/pumped out through the dipstick hole or where the filter is housed? I plan on replacing the filters so I can do either...
2000 340 DA with 7.4 L MPI engines. starboard engine just suddenly died on me yesterday. No sputter, lack of power, etc., just stalled out. Starter cranks but will not start or even fire. Coil is producing spark. I think it is related to fuel pump. When I hit ignition switch I normally hear...
Question: I am considering switching from my chain and rope anchor rode to all chain. Wondering what is the best snubber type assembly to attach chain to bow cleat to take the load off the windlass when anchored. I’ve seen posts and discussions that involve complex chain hooks and bridles to...
We have upgraded from our old (small) dinghy to a 14' Zodiac with 50HP OB. Total weight is around 625 lbs. We will be towing it behind our 340 Sundancer. I do not trust a single connection point at the bow eye (U-bolt) for towing, unless in calm water at no wake speeds. My goal is to be able...
I will be installing two tow ring/eye pads on my fiberglass hull Zodiac for towing behind our 340DA. The rings will require thru bolting w/ backing plates. My question is regarding the bedding and tightening of the bolts. I'll likely be using 5200 as these will be at / near water line and...

We are considering moving up to a slightly larger dinghy, 14' inflatabke, alum hull with steering console, with 30 HP, about 500lbs. It will not really fit on our platform so we will always tow it. I have a good bridle I use at 60' length, but may go up to 75-100' if I find it works better With...
I have 2000 340 Sundancer. Would like to replace the factory horn with an air horn. Questions:
1. Is there an after market air horn sounding horn that can be installed in the original horn location (near stbd bow cleat) or is only way to achieve air horn sound with a true "trumpet" style air...
I am in the market for a new (to me) rigid hull inflatable dink. Approx 11' with 25-30HP remote steering with helm. Most I've looked are fiberglass hull, but I've also come across an AB brand with aluminum hull. It is similar to the same model in fiberglass hull except the aluminum is approx...
