Hey not sure if I ever saw this come up as a topic but has anyone ever upgraded the sliding hanging curtain that sections off the forward berth? Upgrade, as in replace it with a wall?!!!

I replaced my (4) standard stairs with teak ones and don't need the original ones anymore. From my 2004 340da. Perfect condition, $100 for the four plus shipping. Email for pictures if you need them at gtrply200@aol.com Tony

Does it seem worthwhile to change all the fluids midseason on my twin 8.1's? No reason, other than preventative maintenance. I've had the boat for two years and am thrilled to say I have not had one single issue and desperately want to keep it that way! There's about 225 hours on the engines...

The challenge for my table was of course, inlaying the brass compass rose. I had it made with CNC programming and then sent Rich the file so he could load it into his CNC woodworking equipment and make it happen. Then of course, the cherry border, gold epoxy stripe around the perimeter, and...

First of all, I know this has been discussed but as there are always new products on the market it doesn't hurt to start a new thread. Second of all, I know this may not be the right section to post ("Electrical" or "Modifications" maybe?) but it potentially applies to everyone with a boat and...

For the record I was told: 1)It was IAC (I replaced it) and no fix) 2)It was a loose fitting 24-25 pin connector for the engine wires going to the helm (cleaned, WD40, wiggled...came back one week later) 3)This is the best one..."It was radio interference going through the spark plug wires..."...

Sorry for this reply (because it won't help) but I had the same problem with my 2001 280 which did not have the Smartcraft system and after taking it to THREE different dealers (all Mercruiser or SeaRay certified) and spending about $500 with each one, NO ONE could fix it!! I finally cut the...

First of all thanks for the compliments....I designed it but Rich Goodale deserves the credit for building it and coming up with the cherry border with the teak interior and gold epoxy striping. I'm in the brass business so I had the compass rose laser cut and polished. This is the third...

The acrylic rectangular table that came with my 340 just did not fit right for a C shaped cockpit seating, especially since the fore side of the seating is shorter than the aft. So I fooled around with a cardboard template and came up with this angled shape and had Rich Goodale of Goodale Marine...

Has anyone replaced (upgraded) their Raymarine chartplotter? (forgot the model s72 I think?) Do you need new special wiring if you use anything other than Raymarine? I'm mainly looking for a larger brighter display. Thanks.

My Raymarine SL72 on my 340 is vertical/portrait alignment but all the new chartplotters are landscape wide view. I'd like a good sized replacement but i'd have to modify the dash with a starboard fill in piece, etc. It would be a lot easier if there was a large view vertical type GPS on the...

I ordered a custom quilted mattress topper and custom fitted sheets from tuftedtopper.com

It's 4.10/gal where I fill up. x 225gals = $922 so I don't need that much after all....lol I am starting to wonder though...do they make locking gas caps for boats?? I'd hate to find my gas siphoned off in the spring!

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone loan me $1000? :)

Sorry for asking a question that has probably been answered many times but I couldn't get any hits on the search feature. Anyway, I used to leave my gas tank full for the winter, on the theory that a full tank will eliminate water vapor from forming, to ward off ethanol problems, and never had...

Thanks D9...I'll check that Garmin 4210 out. It's really the visibility I'm looking for more than the touch screen. And my flatscreen is a Sony 32". I drilled through the bulkhead into the hatch under the helm for the wires and used the antenna wire from the little flip down screen in the aft...

Has anyone replaced the Raymarine GPS/radar (SL72 I think?) electronics that came with the early 2000's models? I've never liked mine and now all of a sudden it can't read the memory card. I suppose I can get that fixed but am tempted to install the Garmin 740s...the touchscreen is a pretty...

Do you mean the solid surface corian type material? If so, I believe you can sand it with very fine sandpaper. If it is acrylic, then it needs to be buffed out with a polish. Fltiz makes a buffing wheel for a drill for that.

Thanks for the replies so far. I can't say I disagree with any of them at all. What I'm really trying to get at in this thread, tho, is...there must be a way we can seriously beef up the notoriously wimpy lock standard on all the SR cabin doors. Yes, I totally understand if "they" want to get...

I would probably forget to turn off the alarm and juice myself!
