Hi everyone!

Yesterday, I realized that both of my side lights do not work (I know for a fact they worked before, recently). My question/issue/conundrum is, the Nav Light switch on the helm, controls the sidelights, stern light, mast light [meaning, the ON/up position, those three lights are ON at the same time]. Everything else (except the side lights) work properly. When looking under the helm at all the wiring, the nav lights are powered by one large bundle wires with a housing plug (See attacHi everyone!

Good Day all,

Trying to track down a problem we've been having with our 350 Mariners engines.



Engines: 1998 Crusader 350 XLi's, Fuel Injected into the throttle body on top of engine, with ~ 550 hours on them. Boat has sat for about 18 months with last owner and accumulated less than 10 hours (in two main runs, and some small repositions).



Purchase Survey/Sea Trial

Both engines made 4200 RPM @ 22-23knt (Book says 4400 RPM is expected max, so this wasn't far off)

No issues observed on sea trial.

This is cool to say the least. https://newatlas.com/marine/candela-c/

We just purchased a 1993 Mariner 330. AC and heat were working great, but recently started tripping the breakers as soon and the compressor tries to start. The unit looks like the original MarinAire 16K. We are hoping that it is just a bad start capacitor, but in the interest of planning would like to know how in the heck you get in to replace the unit. I read a post from Cooler that said he had a 330 and would have to take the galley cabinets out. Looking last night we could not figure out ...

Coming home from the Memorial Day weekend trip, an alarm started going off in the dash of our 1995 325 Aft Cabin with 3550 XL Crusaders. It was always 8 short beeps, and it tended to come in clusters. First set of 8 beeps would sound off. About a minute or two would go by and the next set of 8 beeps would happen. Then after a few minutes, there would be 2-3 sets of 8 beeps in a row, before it would go a good 20-30 minutes before it would start again.



All the gauges, oil pressure, water temp, ...

I have a 97 350 Mariner that has a Maxwell Freedom 500 windlass. I am guessing it is original. I need to replace the chain wheel. Anyone have suggestions on where I can find one? I’m fairly certain that is the issue because when I took it off it looks really worn (see pics). The wheel spins but just won’t grab the rope. I bought a new rode and put that on but problem continues. Any thoughts or advise is greatly appreciated.

The admiral really wants a bow seat installed on the boat. I have attached a photo where it can be installed (I think). The area is right below the bow window to the salon.

I would appreciate any thoughts, comments, etc. which you can offer especially if you have accomplished or attempted this project.

Thanks for your thoughts, photos or plans.

From the Boat schematics, I see that all 3 charging systems go to the charger unit: Alternator, Generator and Shore Power. From there it seems to distribute it to the batteries.

When I have the Shore power connected: Batteries are at 13V
With Generator: 13V
With Alternator: 12V and steadily drops to 11.5 no matter what the engine RPM. All DC house systems are turned off, especially the refrigerator

I checked the breakers on the Port Side aft wall (where the orange wires come in from the alternators ...

My Riv has A/C that is non-functioning. Any suggestions as to how to go about discovering the why and wherefore, and how to avoid the big expense of a new install would be appreciated. It sure would make us feel in the lap of luxury to have A/C aboard!

Looking for a salvage 33 or 35ss that I can get , a salon door , bridge windshield and other misc parts if you have a source please let me know thanks.
