sorry to be joining this thread late, been a crazy fall, but congratulations on your new acquisition. Please post pictures of your mods as you can, I know there are a lot of folks that will want to see them. the footrest on the helm will be a huge advantage on longer trips. other than all that...

if the button is pushed in they can not open until you push it again and the button pops out and unlocks the cabinets. Also, be sure to keep the bolts on the freezer and ref drawers in the locked position. Same thing will happen, take a hit from a very large wave and it could tilt you enough to...

finally got it resolved, called an electrician. He used a pretty cool tool, a ground fault tester(?) and walked around the yard until he pinpointed the spot where he thought something was going on. When we dug up the spot and found the 4 lines, he just pulled the lines with his finger and one...

Exactly what I did today. I used a spare cord just to be sure nothing was wrong there, and then did as you suggested. I'm thinking now it may be a bad 220V circuit breaker, but will test that tomorrow after church. I could hold power on both Shore circuits, and interestingly enough, I could...

I used a plug in tester for the 120 outlets that are connected to the same breaker box. The type that lights up if there are any problems. Don't have a 220 tester for that circuit. The electrical has been in place for 6 years, as has the single shore power cord. No changes, and until a day or...

First off, let me say that I am NOT an electrician, have zero expertise in that area. Having said that, I need your help..... Boat has been on the lift for a few months now, connected to shore power, all was well.... Went down today to check things and my helm fan (plugged into helm outlet)...

Thanks everyone, appreciate the input and feedback. I also didn't think they should be as much as I have, will push GW on these to address. Too many IMHO.... At least now I know I am not crazy...

I seem to be in the never ending battle against gelcoat cracks in my 2006 360 Express, wondering if anyone else with 360's / 330's were having similar issues? The first few years they were mostly around stress points, helm where the glass and frames were mounted, transom, etc. Fixed them...

thanks much, I sent them a note and we'll see what they respond with, appreciate the info!

Went out this past weekend ahead of a strong cold front, all electronics worked well except my Furuno sounder went into some mode I have never seen.... I think the core unit behind the NN2 is a 1944 or something close to that. TTH sounder, but never had any issue before now, but again, never...

Global warming? Tea Party? All this has to be either Bush's or Obama's fault......

I have certainly had my gremlins the last few months, lots of issues, but now a new one.... Fuel gauges showed half tank main, 2/3 aux; left the dock on Aux and a half mile out, all 3 Yamahas died. Would start, run 3-5 seconds, and die. Finally got port engine to run and made it back to the...

Thanks gentlemen, really appreciate the help. I will call the service mgr tomorrow, was hoping maybe it was something really simple as I know zero about electrical systems.

where is the actuator?

end result: the battery had a bad cell. When they tested everything, battery showed 13 volts, so they ruled it out as an issue. They pulled the motor, and everything looked fine, which started some retro / backward testing. The battery showed fine until it had the huge load the thruster puts...
