Anyone have a recommendation for a dinghy davit for 2003.5 340?

I don't know about a 2008 model but on my 2003, there isn't enough room to go through the vanity, so pulling the toilet is best. Then you're replacing those seals too, which probably need it anyway if the black water hose needs replacing.I just had a 2008 model surveyed for possible purchase, pretty solid boat but surveyor recommending black water hose from toilet to vacuum generator be changed because of dry rot. Anyone tackled that job, either themselves or or had it done?
I did it when I bought my 2005 340da in 2010. The boat came from NV so in the dry heat all the time and only had 50hrs on it so very little use so hose would not hold a vacuum for long. It was a 6 on a scale of 1-10. Toilet had to come out and I had to find a few access points. From what I can remember one is in the back of the cabinet under the stairs and the other is in the base of the cabinet on the port side rear bunk.I just had a 2008 model surveyed for possible purchase, pretty solid boat but surveyor recommending black water hose from toilet to vacuum generator be changed because of dry rot.

Problem solved. It was the rocker switch. Now the mission to find a 4 prong switch like was in there....ThanksNot sure if that is the one. You may check to see that the connections are clean and tight. A little corrosion and/ or loose can often cause your symptoms.

Hey guys, Asking for a friend. He just sea trialed a 2006 340 with 8.1's and v-drives. His wot was only 34mph. This boat has the "fisherman pkg". Just wonder if maybe they propped that one different as its a fishing boat? The fisherman pkg eliminates the U shaped seating and adds dual transom doors and a bait station. Boat has under 200hrs. Thanks
Ok so it sounds like he is in the ballpark. ThanksI just bought an 04 340 with 8.1s v-drives with 600 hours on the engines - WOT @ 4400 RPM was 35.6 MPH during my sea trial
From Sea Ray Prop Chart
2004 340SDA, VD-8.1 S (T-370 PHP) MCM V-DR. INBOARDS 2.00:1
PROP, 18"X 21"X 4.85" "Z" RH PROP, Part #1752176
PROP, 18"X 21"X 4.85" "Z" LH, Part #1752175
4600 RPM @ WOT
Looks perfect....you sure the speed wasn't in knots ? Have heard the 34's with 8.1s can get around 40 MPH.
That would be about right. I have the 340 with 6.2's and I peak out at 35 to 36 mph
Yes, I heard it is to compensate for counter rotation of trans.He said max rpm was 4k. The surveyor noted the port prop was 21.5 and starboard was 21. He also stated he surveyed the same year and model and it had the same props on. Would searay have put different props on?
I think your having early signs of eim module problemsNeed help with my anchor. In the past I have changed out the solenoid and everything returned to full operation. Now the anchor light on the switch pad will not turn off and the anchor will only launch and not return. My mechanic checked the power readings and felt it was the solenoid again after only a year. I replaced the solenoid and no joy. The switch pad had some cosmetic issues so I replaced that too. Now with a new solenoid and switch pad nothing has changed??? The Anchor light on the pad shows the system is energized and won't turn off and anchor only launches. When I installed the new solenoid I jumped the wires to each side and windless retracts and launches the anchor. Stay safe, Dave
