I replaced my Norcold with a new Norcold last year and the unit has been a problem ever since. First the hinges on the freezer door broke in two weeks. Then this summer the door handle latch broke. It is really a flimsy piece and not surprised it broke. I have defrost the freezer every couple of...

I had the same issue and decided to paint them. I used SEM Vinyl paint and the bolster came out great. SEM even comes in Sea Ray white. It's been a year and it still looks great.

I know lake Champlain very well and you will chew up miles fast on that lake. Once on plain you will no reason to slow down. If you need fuel stick to the Vermont side, it can be as much as $1.00 a gallon cheaper. By the way I think you going from Mallet's bay not Mullets.

The Great Loop is my Future, I retire in 5 years. I plan on looking for the right boat soon.

That would be fun on the boat, i might have to get one.

I keep my boat at just up the river from Captains Cove and it is a bit run down. The owner doesn't put much into it. To answer you question about Quincy, it is big enough it has a lot of coast line. There is also several gas and diesel storage fatalities in Quincy so they get a lot of large...

I would not use any anti freeze with alcohol it will over time dry out the seals. You also need to check the level of propylene glycol that is used. The best stuff has 30-40%.

On my boat the drain in floor of the head is clogged, how do I get it unclogged. I don't see anyway to get the underneath the drain the take it off clean it out. Perhaps take the stairs out? Has anyone else solved this problem?

My 98 just had a compressor go on it and I replaced the whole unit it last week. The Norcold replacement is DE-0041, it's on sale at West Marine for $999.00. It's an exact fi,t using the same hole no drilling or refitting. I don't like the styling as much and I think it's a little smaller but it...

It's easy to anchor and is pet friendly, no need to call ahead if your using and anchor. On the Hingham side, there is a state park with trails and lots of room for a dog. I am planning on spending this weekend at Worlds End.

I go every year and will be there again this year. It is the greatest fireworks show you will ever see on the river. I leave early in the morning and get through the locks and anchored by 10:00. The locks aren't a problem but if it gets crowded the boats cueing up at the two bridges can be...

I second Building 21 top, I had some seats redone and the work was fantastic.

I had a 268 for 16 years with 454 Alfa setup and only blew one outdrive in that time. I looked to up grade like you and there just isn't a cost effective solution. There are actually different gear ratios available for the Alpha drive. If I remember right the 1-1.5 is the most common but not at...

I went through alot of trial and error when I had the same problem. Everything you said sounds just like my problem which was the switch on transom. I jumped the wires to get it even then installed a new switch and everything was fine.

I have the same boat and had a problem like this earlier this year. One side was going down but not the other. It turned out to be the switch, when I took it apart you could see how part of it had melted. I was able to with two pieces of wire to bypass the swith to get it down. I also was able...

On mine the best RPM seems to be 3400-3500. This gives me the best speed and fuel burn. At a slower RPM the engines sound like their working harder, right around 3400 they smooth out and the boat takes off. I remember on the sea trial when I bought it thinking the previous owner didn't know...

The easiest way to deal with mounting the manifolds is to buy a couple of studs that fit in or cut the end off of a couple of a couple of bolts. Just put two studs in and slid the gasket and maniford on. Once you have a couple of the bolts in just back out the studs and finish putting in all the...

I went through this with my last boat several years ago and spent the money on 1:32 outdrive after a dealer showed the differance. The gears on the 1:32 are much beefier, side by side it was a dramatic diffferance. For piece of mind I wouldn't even consider the 1:50 drive.

Often jumpy or errant tachs and be fixed just by moving the swith on the back up and down a few times. Most tacks are built with a switch for the number of cyclinders on the engine 4, 6, or 8. The switch tends to get a little corrosion on it and moving it up and down gets this off. Give it try...

This boat does not have v-drives but strait shafts. The engine room is large and maintence id very easy. I love my 340 AJ, the same boat.
