Re: Radio replacement
I've been able to install pioneer head units(the Jenson you posted would work the same) in both the land rover disco 2 and 2005 Passat that have factory amps, both really complicated wiring system, using installation adapter components I sourced from crutchfield.
On the Passat I had to call their tech line as I had some questions that they cleared up quickly.
Their factory amps are more like crossovers than actual amps, but either way they sounded good and didn't need upgrades other than the head unit.

New Member Intro
Hello All. I wanted to introduce myself as a proud new owner of a 2006 342. I've been lurking for a while and have found tons of great info on these forums, and hope to contribute. Here's a pic:

One question I have about the forums:
I've noticed a lot of dead links to older posts. Is there an easy way to access these older posts?

Re: 5ECD Generator
Unfortunately that's a marine only part.
Generally the parts I have access to will have an xx-xxx-xx-S part number sequence
Something like 12-554-45-
If you ever come across one similar hit me up and I'll try to get you Kohler parts without the marine markup (plus a 10% discount on the outdoor power equipment MSRP for any rinker members)
It seems the GM numbers are marine specific
We get tons of local motorcycle/ATV/utv guys coming to the shop for Kawasaki OEM motor oil. Our synthetic blend and/or full synthetic 30, 10-30, 10-40 and 20w50 oils are 8.99 a quart where the local power sports charge 15.99-19.99 for the same oil. We thought the markup was good selling for 8.99.

Re: What did you do to your boat today
Great Lakes Skipper appears to have dropped prices on a bunch of their Rinker stock.
Couldn't find anything I might need, but some deals up to 40% off:

Re: New Member Intro
I think I just answered my own question. For the dead links, if I change the URL from "vanillaforums" to "vanillacommunities" the links seem to work.raybo3 said:Welcome to the RBOC. The 342 is a great boat. As far as archived posts the forum only goes back about 5 years. Not really sure I can go back further than that but I will check into that.
