Does it sync the engines though? Meaning if the needle is in the middle they are in synch? I do not pay attention to the RPMs, rather the needle being in the middle.

My Glendinning Synchronizer has not worked since I purchased the boat. This came up on the inspection and wasn't a big issue to me. I purchased new cables that come out of the front of the engine and go into the synchronizer, haven't installed them.
With diesels!
If ONLY that were true...That is too funny. I was about to type "if I had diesels, that cabinet would have taken itself out"!!
Mine didn’t work when I bought the boat, and I didn’t know what I was missing until I repaired it. Now I use it 100% of the time, at idle or cruise.
The likely issue are the short shafts from the flywheel to the 90 drive are stripped out. If you have the correct shaft and the centering tool, it’s a really easy fix, maybe a 15 minute job per side.
I left my sync gauge in as I use it to keep the engines at roughly the same RPM (+/- 150-200) coming up on plane, but once the Glendinning is engaged, the gauge reads slightly off, but the Aetnas, and engines are completely in sync, with no fiddling with the throttles.
Yeah, I’m a Glendinning Sync fan boy.
I purchased replacement cables when I bought the boat, I think they came with some other things (maybe the centering tool) and they are still...in a box...on the boat. I don't look forward to climbing in there to replace them.Mine didn’t work when I bought the boat, and I didn’t know what I was missing until I repaired it.

Happy Canada Day and 4th of July everyone!
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the seal material for the windshield vent? FP has them in several different profiles bit none are listed for the 400DA. Figured someone here must have replaced it already.
Well it’s official. Add me to the list of people with failed water tanks. The last thing I want to do is install another L shaped tank. I’m considering installing two rectangles and pluming them together.
Is there anyone out there that has improved on the L tank system?
No Stee, if we had diesels, the fridge would have never broke. It's all the strain on our boats from the terribly underpowered gas engines.That is too funny. I was about to type "if I had diesels, that cabinet would have taken itself out"!!
Nice pic of the family!

Nice job! Im torn between stainless in the “L” shape or two poly tanks joined. There is a shop in Maine that will build poly to specifications.View attachment 147345 View attachment 147346
I had a friend build me a stainless "L" to replace the plastic POS based on a drawing I received from another 400 owner. We made it a touch smaller on a couple of the dimensions to make it easier to install and not have to purchase a 3rd sheet of stainless and it has worked out great. Changed the location of the water input and I didn't even have to change hose length. The only thing different is the stainless will occasionally make a boom sound when filling. I now fill all the way and have no issues. Well worth the effort and really was not that hard. I did have to drill 4" holes in the top of the old tank so I could put my hands in and pull the old tank straight up to get it out.
