I said I would report back on the steam cleaner and finally had a chance to use it today. It’s amazing - I still used a little zep citrus degreaser and then the brass scrubber attachment. Our bilge is embarrassingly dirty in sections, especially behind the generator in the far back starboard corner.

I feel like I’ve been violated by the rudder and steering linkages and used an entire roll of blue shop towels but it came out awesome. I’ll grab some pics next weekend when we’re in the water.

I also noticed a lot of dried oil spray around the impellers. I may be due for housings, have to monitor this year.
 
I'm looking to replace the windshield screw cover with the TaylorMade rubber "J" shaped material. While I was searching Flounder Pounder I noticed that there was 2 similar products. The part #'s are 8349030 and 8349040. Do any of you know which one is correct for my 99' 400 with the stainless frame. I read in one thread that the 8349040 is for the stainless frame and the 8349030 is for the aluminum frame. Just want to make sure before I order. TIA

I’d like to do the same thing. Last time I did this I had to contact Searay for the Taylormade part who then pointed me to TM to get the updated PN

It’s by the foot, any idea of the length needed?

I measured mine today and rounding each section up to the next foot I came up with 31'. Reading more on Flounder Pounder I'm pretty sure I need #8349040. It says on FP it's for the stainless frame. Just wanted to double check here before spending 200.00

Edit: just got a text from my buddy with a 330 aluminum frame and he ordered the #8349030. I'm even more confident now that I need the #8349040.

perfect, thanks. I really need ours as well, it leaks inside in the aft corner of each windshield because the foam is completely gone

I think I'm gonna go ahead and order. I'm confident enough to spend the 200 now.:D:D:D
By the way your boat is looking awesome and after seeing your pics above of the bottom paint you help make a discussion I've been contemplating for a couple years. I pulling my waterline/boot stripes off next time I go to the boat. I want to get them off before my detail guy wheels it out.

thanks! I also contemplated replacement versus raising the line but I really liked the look on our old boat and decided to go for it.

it took me 4 eraser wheels to do the gold and black on both sides. If you use heat and have a friend to help the black will peel off but chances are it will leave a residue you then have to remove anyway so I stuck with the wheels

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be purchasing eraser wheels also.

I have a 1997 370 Sundancer.
I ordered a Sample of each from flounder pounder. Flounder pounder will send you about 6 inches of each for free.
According to there web site it fits multiple models. Just different lengths.
The 8349040 is the correct one for the stainless window on a 370. I am sure that it is the same for your windshield. I ordered 35 feet and had some left. It fit perfectly. Cut it long and Stuff it in at the ends, it will shrink over time.

Thanks for the info. I ordered and Flounder Pounder called me saying they only have a few pieces left and are waiting for their shipment to come in. They offered to reimburse me if I didn't want wait. I thought that was pretty awesome of them. I told them I could wait the 2 weeks or so. So I have 31' coming in soon.
 
Any body put a pre-cut EVA foam on the swim platform? I've found several but looking for feedback feedback as to who's the best, and how it fit.

Or should I just get it done locally?

Aquamarine deck on ours. Previous owner did it, I’d say he did an ok job lining it up but the product is really nice. I’ve heard they’re the best in terms of cut quality and edge finish.

I want to change it to gray/black and would protect with 303 based on that other thread. There are a few food stains on the cockpit pieces. I haven’t tried a heavy degreaser on them yet though

Total price for platform/cockpit is $2,792+shipping

I’m looking to only do the swim platform, as this would help our dog get on/off without slipping. I’m thinking the boats were standard enough that the online patterns are good enough.

For the cockpit, contemplating a marine weave.

Yea the pattern is spot on the PO just didn’t line them up perfectly. Just do some research on dogs with it, if they have nails it’ll scratch easy
