Hey guys, so I have owned the boat for about three years now and I havnt touched the transmission I want to do the fluids so I picked up some valvoline dexron 3. My question to you what is the best way to change fluids in the velvet drives. Thanks

does your fluid smell burnt? Many recommend just leaving it alone if it is not burnt.

There’s a bottom drain but it would be challenging to get to. You should be able to suck it out the dipstick hole. If you haven’t already I’d scratch a line on the dipstick to represent full fluid level when cold; make checking levels much easier.

I will take pictures of the fittings, I think I used a coupler to adjust for the size difference or ordered a different connector and removed to old. Will look and send pictures.

Ok, I looked at the install. I used a SS plumbing hose and a brass connector.

I'm having a problem with my 330 EC I keep getting water in the front compartment in the
V Berth The center area under the cushion all the way forward in the cabin. Has anyone else had this issue and if so do you find where the water was coming from? I thought it was the horn area but i closed it off and I'm still getting water in the area, then I thought It might be the anchor locker but I dont think thats it either I inspected the area and found it to be well sealed.

Thanks

Has anyone found a solution to people bumping into the switches on the back of the boat? When we are out fishing, I am always turning off the cockpit lights or the bilge lights.

Thoughts?

Let me know

Hello All, New to the forum and have a great solution to the aft button panel conundrum - see attached, it's a 3/4 x 3/4 piece of starboard, shaped and drilled to affix using longer screws to same holes at the top of that switch panel. Does the trick!

I think the breaker is under the cabin stairs near the DC switches. It might be near there? Will be at the boat this afternoon. I can look around.

try turning the dash switch off and on about a dozen times. Mine was corroded (contacts) and that solved the issue.

If you are referring to the insert to cover the screws heads at the base of the exterior:

Taylor Made part #8349030 and currently $3.51/foot and $10 shipping. I bought 28 feet and had about 1' left over. that was 9 years ago and it has already shrank again, but reached out in March of 2021 and that is the current pricing.
contact Theresa Havlick at Taylor Made: thavlick@taylormadesystems.com. she is very helpful.

No its in the front locker where the windlass is. Is brand new I changed it out last spring. What's wrong with it?

 

[Xplicitlnck]

That picture you put up is the emergency battery cross over

 

[Xplicitlnck]

Lift the stairs there's a red breaker labeled windlass see if it popped. Push it in takes a little force.

My boat is a 1998 with the black foam insert for the windshield screws. Is that the right part number for the foam?

It's actually a rubber/plastic. Mine is a 1999, but believe the windshields are all the same for our models (so long as you don't have a hardtop or radar arch delete in which case you would probably need 1-2' more).
