As a former owner of a 350 I thought I would add my 2 cents The aft bulkhead on the 350s is paper thin. This is problematic for a couple of reasons but it certainly adds to the ability to contain noise from a Genset. The bulkhead is not solid either next to the hull so noise and fumes from the engin...

If you want to see it. You can board her there at BahiaMar and look down in the hatch above the genset

Let me know by txt at 9016067077 if interested so I can let them know so they don’t run you off

Mike Bredeson at Flat Island Boatwork there at the shipyard in PNS installed a reinforcement and soundproofing material Tommy transom on Tiki about two years ago and it made a ton of difference in the aft cabin. I don’t remember what brand it is but you contact him mbredesen@flatislandboatworks.com

What is not shown here is the aft brace over the Davit. It was not installed yet but I think you need three supports so that you don't bounce. And center the mast better

I went 450 miles with a similar rig down the TennTom and across 3 foot rollers across mobile bay with no problem I would suggest a middle support right in front of the dodger

Sometimes there starts to be buildup of waste in the bottom of the tank that pumps cannot suck up. That overtime will displace liquid waste and cause this problem. I would pump out and then put a water hose down in from the deck and just make sure you are stiring up anything that may be building up ...

In this thread you can read what I did for replacement on Tiki. I love love love the results but also made some of the insulation improvements recommended in Kens post

Cold beer and popsicles galore and auto defrost is the bomb

Has anyone reduced the mast height on their 350. Can it even be done on in mast furling ?

I totally missed your questions.. I went with isotherm because of the price, I really wanted independent systems for backup in case one went out and looking at the specs they were much more efficient. I can't speak to their longevity but time will tell. So far so good. I really love the auto defrost...

if you still have the original spillover system and just replacing the evap the 151 is probably not really big enough even if you have managed to add some insulation to the box. How you mount it does not matter as it will technically work either way as long as air can circulate behind it. I was rece...

I have one complete and one partial service kit for a Newport 1600. I have replaced my head and job longer need them. The one partial kit is missing the impeller pin and impeller. The used impeller is there on partial kit as last resort if needed. Both for sale for 100.00 plus 10.00 for shipping Let...

Reviving this post..... anybody want to sell their cushions for the salon berth conversion. To be specific the ones that cover the large salon table. I only need the cushions I have the post and the supports, the connecting bench, any color is fine as i can always recover them. If anyone is interest...

Ok great advice. I will try cleaning it.

Yes all good on levels. I check them and had electrician also look to make sure I did not miss anything

Any comment on the battery box construction. Has anyone elae had problems or had to construct or amend the batter locker

Thanks Ken. I have both installed apparently. I have noticed that the valve under the companion way steps is squeaky when the engine is running. Have you heard that on yours ?

reviving this old post as I had a similar experience over the weekend. over last couple of weeks actually smelled rotten onion like or egg smell .. could not find where it was coming from. this past weekend happened to check battery compartment of my 2 brand new (less than 6 weeks old) 4D batteries ...

as a relative new owner of a 350 how can you tell if the kit(s) are installed. I tried to find diagrams etc but looks like the old links are broken.
Hull 154

Lowes and home depot carry G4 led that will fit reading lights and head lights for 7.99 each. You might have to snip off a little of the prongs. They work great. I ordered my dome lights online from LED Dr I replaced one of them in red for night cruising which I installed over the nav desk and one i...

Genco Marine is who finally did mine dodger Bimini w/connecter I got them to sew in the zippers for a full enclosure that I can add later. I am pleased and they did a good job considering they used my measurements. I installed it all myself once it arrived. A completely remote job !
