So I wasn't able to find a solution in the post I searched.

Hopefully my 405 and 406 buddies can assist.



I replaced all 3 bilges, both bilge blowers and the float switches 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I thought going with a bigger pump was better not understanding the electrical side based on some of the post I read.



So I replaced all my 1500gph Rule Bilges with 2000gph Rule Bilges. Could something this small make my fwd breaker throw?



So here is my problem. The fwd bilge will not empty without thro ...

The aft deck hard top has 2-4" access panels and I was wondering if any one has found any good 4" speakers that will fit into these already existing openings and if so were you able to run speaker wire to the bridge to tap into the speakers there or did you go to the aft cabin speaker(s) and was it a PITA or an easy speaker run, possible winter project!

Well it seems our fresh water pump decided to crap out while winterizing our water system. Pump is presently a ShurFlo 2088-423-344 Diaphragm Pump. 2.8gpm, 12volt, 7.5max, 45psi, built 04/1999. Before I buy the same pump again, was wondering if anyone would recommend a upgrade unit and for what reason. Now mind you I have not double checked supply flow to the pump or taken the inlet filter apart and see if its possibly clogged since I have the system full of -50 Marine/RV antifreeze. Looking for ...

2001 Mariner 350..... Has anyone changed their electric head to marine elegance.....does it fit in the same footprint....this is something I want to do over the off season and change out the charger....thoughts...

Please before you respond "just mark wheel where appears to be dead center", I want the system to work. Drives me crazy to have something not working as it should.

I have a 93 350 Aft Cabin with rudder synchronize gauge that is not registering. It appears the sender unit is mounted on the rudder link rod under the aft cabin bed. I see 3 red wires as part of the harness. 2 are attached to the sender. The 3rd is not attached and simply coiled and tied off. Does not appear to be a connection where i ...

Got tired of the WallVac system most boats have. Hose was a pain, needed 110v and suction was OK at best, bags were a problem to find. Ended up getting a Dyson V7 trigger with power head. https://www.dysoncanada.ca/en/handhelds ... igger.html Works great everywhere one would need a vac suction is amazing. No cords or hose and fit perfectly under the fold up stair entering the boat where I do have access to my entertainment centre inverter plug so I can plug it in and charge no matter if ...

Drove her down river for about 3 hrs to her winter resting place. Had her hauled and put on the dry. I pressure washed the hull and all fluids/filters have been changed. Just need to winterize the engines and water system not to mention a quick cleanup of the outside before putting her inside in unheated storage. Probably throw a big tarp over her just to keep the dust at bay.

May go back once in a while before the snow flies to finish up some little unfinished projects.

Looking to make a boarding platform from the dock to my swim platform on my 356. Dock and platform almost even. I see aluminum ones for $1500 but figure I could make one for less. Doesn’t need to be aluminum.

My wife has these great ideas. She asked me to find some mini cleats to replace most all the pull knobs of the cabinets and drawers on the boat. Oddly enough they were rather inexpensive being they are polished stainless steel @ slightly more than $6 cdn each delivered. Heck even an el cheapo Home Depot round plain knob is as much if not more. Chose the 4" model which is just right. Chose the 4" model which is just right. ...

New to me 2003 356. What is the First Mate system? I have a switch under the step at the battery switch panel labeled First Mate which is off since I took ownership. Should it be off?
