    2007 305 express input

    Dr batts, I just purchased a 2007 305 with twin 300's. I have the original garmin 7212 gps map screens with radar and sonar. I am having a problem with the sonar only functioning to about 20 ft.nowalthough it seemedto work 3 months ago. Do you have any experience with Garmin sonar issues...

    Neema 2000 connection of Yamahas to Garmin

    Jason, I think this cable will work if it is plugged directly in engine and you have a NEMA 2000 network. My motors and electronics are 2010. From what I have learned, I need to set up.a seperate NEMA network and then connect this go the Yamaha connector bar and finally go from the NEMA system...

    Thanks Bill. I have 8 braid line but have been unable to do the linevto chain splice. I am going with 3 strand since I can do this splice.

    What is the best 1\2 inch 3 strand nylon to use with a Lewmar 700 winch on a 305 Express. I have 30 ft of 316 chain and just want to replace line with a 3 strand I can splice.

    I agree that buying a few extra gallons is easy and safe for the novice. Thanks! Good idea to watch an expert, however, that might be difficult with the little boatyard I plan to use for the winter. Have you heard of blowing out the generator and ac with an air compressor?

    Sounds like a good alternative!

    Winterizing the fresh watersystem in a 305 Express

    Thanks. Sounds pretty complicated. I was thinking that the generator and ac might just back drain with the sea cocks open. The two Groco sea water strainers have drains on each which might be useful for emptying the systems?
