BI,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. My task this spring, will be to inspect, remove all bow rail mounting screws and re-seal with marine silicone. Will check them all.....I thought I had found mine last year with a screw missing entirely. Caulked that, but something else must of come...
Thanks for the input. That seems to be my problem exactly and I have not taken it to that level as of yet. I did find a few places where caulk was worn and replaced those areas, but not each bolt and each stanchion. That will be my next chore in the spring. Someone else also mention the...
Thanks for the input, but that is not the case here. I have no condensation issues. Its a direct result from "rain water". Condensation would be a continual issue and raise its head in man vaired temperature scenarios, and none of them have ever happened in this case. Huge temp swings, etc...
All: It is defenitely, 100% not condensation. It only happens when we have a heavy rain. If it doesn't rain for two weeks then no water intrusion. A heavy rain, and water is there witin hours. I believe as other have stated, that it is direct water intrusion from rain water through bolt...
I have had a "rainwater" intrusion into the storage area, under the floor (deck) in the cabin. This is the storage area in the middle of the cabin, adjacent to the sink. You lift up the access hatch and its a single compartment that in itself is water tight. Only thing that passes through it...
For all: Just got an answer from my marina (mechanic). Mercruiser does not put the pencil zinc anodes in thier engines. Boats with inboard/outboard configuration have the Mercathode (Cathodic Protection System) installed and that is connected to the "outdrive" of the I/O. True inboards, with...
Does the 8.1S inboard/V-Drives have an "Zinc Anode Plug"...like those on the Kohler generator on the coolant side?. No where in the engine manual does it list there being a zinc....
Bluebelly,
Thanks much for providing that info. I didn't realize I could access the underside of the swimplatform from inside. Never been all the way back there myself, well I have, but not that low and looking up, to see that there is space in their. I'll have to have my skinny buddy get...
Installing Engine mount on 2004 340 swim platform
Does anyone have experience mounting hardware to the swim platform on a 2004 or newer 340DA? This is the intergral swim platform (not bolted on, with access underneath), so you can't put bolts through and nuts underneath. Looking to mount a...

AM321,
Thanks for the real answer, I'm just trying to help someone here who is new to boating, and I'm not there to assist in person.
To all others: Very funny.....please grow up...
My friend has a 2008 330 and doesn't know where his A/C unit is located. He believes its in the engine compartment. Is that true..? I haven't been able to get on his boat to look or find a schematic to look myself. His air filter is in the overhead of the aft sette area on the port side, and his...

Jack,
thanks...I already downloaded that from the SeaRay site, and that is the "Specific Information Manual" and does not show the location of the A/C compressor unit itself. All it shows is the sea water pickup seacock in the engine compartment and the seawater pump in the engine...
