Well, my TV definitively is a digital TV I happen to sell them, IT is a Flat Panet 23" LG.

Unfortunately nothing comes up when I use the local channels, any clues?

Either the antenna is not wired OR the amplifier is turned off....ahhh maybe that is it. Turn the amplifier on, it is located on the port side in the cabinet near the forward v berth, if you have a slide out TV it is located in the cabinet under that TV location.
 
The 2007 boats came with satellite installed, but mine was wired incorrectly along with the auxiliary jack for the ipod. But after fixing the wiring my Sirius receiver was also bad, so that was replaced as well.
 
Well as I didn't find the Sirius option, I bought the sr-50 from ray marine, now I'll have Weather and audio satellite from sirius, although I have to pay a monthly fee for both of 'em.

Going back to the TV antenna, I just checked the boat and the Tv amplifier is on, so probably then the antenna is not wired.

thanks man!

Another question:

I have two white cushions that came with the boat.

One is the sunpad which I certainly know what is it for.

The second one which is white and manufactured at the same company as the sunpad, is white, thicker, and all that it says on the inside sticker is "seat flr", and I have no idea where this cushion fits or what is intended to be used for...

Any clues??
 
Does it have two straps? If so it is designed to go on top of the table if you will in the back cockpit area. Sirius was standard on the 07' - 320's you should see the antenna on your radar arch.
 
Colombo, if that is your pewter hull 320 in the picture above then you don't have a glomex antenna on the boat, at least I can't see one. Photo attached show my glomex circled in red. I don't see that on the pewter hull boat in the above picture.

It looks like you can see the pole on the port side where it used to sit. That frisbee done flew off.

My thoughts are exactly the same.

Good catch but I do see the Sirius antenna next to the GPS antenna.

You are right, that's a picture taken at the brokers marina the day of the sea trial, before we brought it down to florida,(they removed all the antennas in order to fit in the trailer) so my guess is that they did put the frisbee on at the shipyard in Miami , but didn't make the right conections.

I checked yesterday and i have 4 antennas on the arch.

Raymarine Radar, Raymarine GPS, Sirius antenna, and the Tv Antenna, although the TV and the sirius are not working at all. Gps and radar are working just fine.

I'll have to make them check then, thanks to you all for your help

I post up my $0.02 which won't get you very far!!! But on ours there is a ship/Shore switch which switches between the antenna and the shore side cable input. Do you have one and is it set on the Shore. My switch is under the TV on the right hand side inside a cabinet...

Yes, the thicker cushion is to make the U-Shaped seating in the aft cockpit into a "sunpad" or bed if it's a nice night...
 
113 days until boating season in NY..yea
 
I think that cushion your speaking of goes in the round void in the cockpit circular seating...sort of an odd sunpad.
 
hey guys i still have the frisbee analog antenna, if i install a digital converter box will i get my tv's back anyone done this yet? i want to install a 26" lcd on the bulkhead above the aft cabin any thoughts? thanks
 
If you purchase a digital ready TV then you will not need the converter box. Antennas are already set up to receive the digital signal but most TV are not able to process the signal. Hence the converter box. New TV's already have the converter built in to receive the digital signal. If you have other older tv's then you will need the converter for those tv's. My glomex receives digital signals and I can watch about 20 channels of high definition TV on both my digital ready tv's. Better picture than Directv and cable. BUT....if you are far away from the tv station antenna, you may not get a picture but you can't blame the glomex for that.

This was the problem for a long time. I installed digital converter but due to signal limitation my reception is bad. Granted, it's much better than analong once the signal is estublished. So, to properly set your expectation don't count too much on a good signal, although it all depends on the area. One of the options is to have a dish at your slip (we have direct tv), other less expensive option is subscription service to some DVD rent companies (~$12+ a month) and finally if you want to spend the money there's always things like KVH Satellite antenas like M1 (~$2K), which will provide you with constant signal while docked or underway.
 
First post on the site. It is amazing how much info I have learned from this group.... THANKS. I own a 03 320 DA and a For Sale 98 250 DA. I have a couple of questions for you 320 owners.

1) The bottom of the 320 has never been painted. I would like to take this task on in the spring. How do I determine where the water line is on this boat? What is the process to paint the bottom? I would assume that I would have to scuff up the gel and then paint but any advice would be great!

2) Where do I find the part numbers for my engine parts(belts, filters ect)

3) What should I expect for a cruising speed and top end. The boat has 6.2L with Bravo III's.

More questions to come and THANKS!!!
