Re: Heat and Air pump for my 2008 350 Cruiser
Seacock should be in the small access in the aft area under the stairs, directly in front of the port side small cabinet. It is open if the lever is parallel to the hose.

Re: 270 hot water tank size?
A lot of people(including myself) do the bypass so you don't have to put 6 gallons of antifreeze in it during winterization.

Re: St Clair Shores area bottom painting
Are you sure about that AA? Here on the great lakes if we dont bottom paint we have quite a science project on our hands. My 310 was wet stored just for the summer and after 30 days I had hours of scrubbing with Zep toilet cleaner and a $200 lift bill on my hands. Huge regret, had to have it lifted a few times for horrible cleanings. At least in this freshwater you must bottom paint if wet slipped for more than a couple of weeks.

Run the boat on plane with the seacock open before you replace the pump.

Re: NHL hockey thread
Sullivan wouldn't want Wilson in Pitt. Hextal would, he's a flyer. The frustrating thing about Wilson is he's a legit top 6 forward on any team. The bad part is he likes to play like a 4th line goon.

Hook the inlet line to the outlet line. Like bypassing the heater core in a vehicle.

Re: NHL hockey thread
I think the players feed off of the fans and it helps with intensity. However it could also have an adverse effect in pumping up someone and causing a mistake or to take a dumb penalty because of adrenaline.

Anybody can get into the Bahamas if they bring wallets like pro hockey players.

Re: Two questions - windlass and A/C
Sometimes the AC seawater pump does not prime after being out of the water. With AC running on cool or heat cycle check for water coming out of the boat. On my 342 it is at the bow stbd side. The unit should shut down if there is no water flow.

Re: Buying a 2008 280 EC - Advice
I am not sure if you are confused re fresh water cooled. If your engine has closed cooling it will have anti freeze reservoir and a heat exchanger cooled by sea or lake water (Fresh water cooled) or the engine is cooled by whatever water it is floating in.
How long has the boat been in the water? Normally small blisters go away over the winter if the boat is laid up on land and re-appear after a couple of months in water and as long as they are small it would be OK. If they are large the bottom will need to be stripped and sealed.
The surveyor found high moisture readings in the transom but the soundings were good meaning the core is solid much like my boat. At some point you are going to have to find the source of the water intrusion and deal with it. If it is left too long the cost to repair will get larger. I am not trying to put you off buying but I would certainly be negotiating the price down to cover future expenses. I have a post on this subject.
