An update for all you wonderful 350 owners: Yesterday I replaced the Alternator and still no charge. I put the altimeter on my Tach leads and it appears no sign of "excite" there still. My batteries and my volt meter at the helm are all showing no sign of being charged either. The wonderfu...

So, would I be correct in "assuming" the Tach controls the charge? Meaning, if the tach is not moving the volt meter at the helm will NOT be showing a charge? Should I be looking into replacing my tach if the alt is working properly but not charging? A conundrum for sure.

Good morning, Bill, As I am the 2nd owner of my boat I can only assume that the original owner, Bill Templeton, changed the alternator to a Delco Remy 7294103 which has spade connected to the #2 terminal on the back, a positive terminal and also and EXCITE wire that I assume controls the internal re...

All, firstly when I unplugged from my shore power supply and simply reconnected in a different outlet the reverse polarity light is now gone. Secondly, I purchased a new alternator that did NOT have a blue wire coming from the alternator with a bullet connector which I am assuming is the "excit...

Hi Brett, I am connected to shore power, however, I have my switch turned off to the shore power during this troubleshooting exercise. As an fyi, everything was perfectly fine, tach was working, alt was charging perfectly. Then mysteriously I noticed my "reverse polarity" light on my panel...

Good morning, Ken and all else, In response to your message and anyone else: My volt meter at the helm is showing 11 volts with engine running. My batteries are showing 12.2v (at both batteries when engine is running. When the engine is NOT running I am showing 13.27 at each battery. I am only guess...

Need help! I have a 2005, 350 Hull #333 I am not seeing volts while the engine is running (at 1500-2000 rpm) at the helm. I am showing batteries (new in 2022) fully charged but when the engine is running I am showing a negative on my battery terminals. Just had the alternator tested and it is showin...

Hi John,

Circling back to you on this, sorry I didn't respond sooner.
Can you email it to me? ekleinst1@gmail.com

Thanks much,

Good morning, Brett,

Any luck getting the info from your brother about he hoses from the forward tank?

Thanks
Ed

Hi Brett, it has been verified that the leak is from the forward tank, SOMEWHERE. Not 100% sure if it is the tank itself or pipes from the tank, but it is the source. Would certainly like to start simple and find the lines leading from the tank and check those first, then the clamps and then the tan...

Hello all, and Happy New Year!

Can anyone map me the water line from the forward tank? I have a leak somewhere that I need to track down. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks

Thanks very much, Leigh. Can you tell me how long they are? Would like to get them ordered before fighting the removal battle.

Thanks
Ed

Good morning,

Has anyone removed the forward water tank for inspection? If so, how did you do it? I believe mine has a leak and need to remove and inspect.

Thanks
Ed

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me where to access the onboard side of the 2 small thru hulls on the starboard side rear quarter? Mine need to be replaced. Also, are they both 3/4 inch?

Thanks
Ed

Hello,

Can anyone confirm IF the Carbon Disc on the PSS seal should have any movement when installed?

Thanks
Ed

Thanks VERY much, Ken. Ed

Hello all, Can anyone provide the actual ordering size of the rebuild/maintenance PSS kit? I am going to assume all 2005 350's have the same size? I am just now starting to notice some wear on the rubber baffles and noticed some water spray. Boat is on the hard, so a good time to get er done! Thanks...

Hello all,

Has anyone replaced their engine control lever on the pedestal?
Mine is extremely tight and the button that is pushed to increase idle is pretty much stuck all the time.

Is this a tough job?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I just tried using a Honda eu2200i for a/c on my 2005 350 but I could not get it to work.
What is your secret? What did you have to do in order for it to work? This has been driving me crazy trying to find these answers.

Thanks
Ed

Forum,

The black button on the gear lever that controls throttle in Neutral does not depress. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?
