I have a 1989 340 EC. I am considering adding a shoot thru hull transducer. I can't find any information confirming if the bottom of the hull is solid fiberglass or is it fiberglass laminated wood core. Any information on this would be appreciated. Hate to glue it in place and find I just shot...

Hey fellows. What is one mans trash is anothers treasure. I grew up on a 14 ft jon boat with a 15 Hp Mercury. We filled up our freezer with catfish from the trot lines. Depth finder was a broken tape measure with a lead weight. Loved every minute of it. I've been blessed with sucess and love my...

Ok time to sound cheap. I have a 89 340EC. I am restoring it as just a fun boat. I have a Lowrance GPS HDS5 combo unit. It came with a skimmer type transducer for the depth finder. The bouat had a Garmin gps/depth find that was shot when I got it. Question is, can the Lowrance connect to the...

Well I guess I need to put my 2 cents in. I carry ALL THE TIME. Luckily I have been in Law Enforcement for 30 years and I trained my kids and grandkids about guns. First lesson when they were young and at the first question about daddy's (or paw paw's) gun, off to the range with the kiddos. Here...

From the response it looks like it is just you and I. Thanks for the thumbs up. Maybe it was just a glich. I am planning on doing the thru hull application this summer. Again, thanks and we'll chat later

Ok. I purchased a Lowrance HDS 5 that is all inclusive. Had to buy a Navionics chip to get the detail I wanted. Have not installed the depth finder, but plan to use the thru hull type not the transom mounted do hicky. But the problem is, less than one year into it has bit the dust. Its off to...

Book marked it. I'll some better pics of my ride and post them. Its a work in progress but sea worthy.

Is that Red Fish? If so, how did you get so close? I was out in the bay last Sunday. It was GREAT. I want to venture across to Double Bayou. Heard there is a good place to eat there. I'll get some pics of my old rag at sea and post them for you.

I noticed there is no duct work for the return air. Just a grill under the sink with an open area to the coil. Is this common? Should I fabricate some type of vent to allow for proper filtering? Or not worry about because there is limited dust on the water? Boat is a 1989 340 EC that HAD...

I am putting in an A/C unit,Marine Air System 16K, in a 1989 340 EC. The ducting is present so is all the other required plumbing and electrical. I need the plenum to feeds 1-4" duct and 1-3" duct (These are approximate sizes). I have searched and can not find just the plenum. As a last resort I...

Sherminator I rest my case....

I replaced the cable on '89 340 EC. Dude hire a midget cuase the space it tight. It took about 4 hours to get that thing pulled out and fished back it. I had to use some limb cutter to cut tie wraps that I knew I would never be able to reach again. It seems to me that Sea Ray put the cable down...

I had a bad deal on a mechanic lien purchase. Bought the boat for $5000.00 at the auction. All legal, except I also bought a $43,000.00 mortage. Had to "buy out" the mortage to get the documentation deleted just to get a Texas title. After negotation with the bank I was able to buy out the...

I was there my friend. You were on the way in and I was on the way out. Boy I could of made $10,000 on my backing into the slip. Had a crowd watching, and boy that sloop. If it wasn't there my mechanic could not hae jumped in to save me. More practice during the week.

Sunday I was at the pier and my neighbor came in from a weekend trip. He was happy and smiling and told about all the problems he had. Then he said it all "If you don't want any problems, stay home". I guess thats boating in a nutshell. Just felt it was worth posting. Enjoy
