Re: Bow Thruster
Here are pics of the thruster setup in the 330. 342 should be similar. Make sure the switch is on. ANL fuse is bottom right of the second pic.

Re: Toilet Issue
What Rinker do you own? On my 342 there is a filter strainer in the aftcabin under cushion on the port side near the A/C strainer. Check to make sure its clean. You may have to prime it also.

Re: Toilet Issue
Agree with Raybo, is the thru hull leading to the toilet raw water inlet open?

Re: 2003 282 with 496 looking for Smartcraft plug
If you search smartcraft on here you will find a ton of threads. So Mercury started to implement after 2002 so the first thing i would recommend is to just verify that the engine is really smartcraft capable. There is normally a symbol on the spark arrestor cover. On the 350 Mag the plug was on the rear of the engine. On my newer (2008 496) it was moved to the front of the engine. It will likely have a purple or yellow terminator cap on it but will look something like this. Have to be careful though as there are several plugs that look very similar.

Re: Bow Thruster
What brand is your thruster? Lewmar? Was it factory installed?
My Sleipner thruster has a low amperage run to the switch and is high amperage to the thruster motor. I imagine yours is the same. Sounds like your high amperage circuit isn’t powered.

Check to see if your automatic main switch is off or if the large (circa 300 amp) fuse has blown. Both should be located under the v-berth.

Re: Toilet Issue
@Easybee - Folks on this forum love providing help to others, but I can't help noticing that over the last couple of weeks you've asked for help on your windless and engine issues - and people responded with long, well though out answers, and with questions to you asking for more information and you haven't responded to those.
Could you please take a look at those posts and respond to the people who are trying to help you. It would be appreciated.

Re: Volvo DPS-A driveshaft seal
Update…. had the yokes chromoly treated and sized to spec. Worked great . Will reassemble this week. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue. Will pack grease in between the inner and outer part of the seal to hopefully keep it lubricated enough.

Re: What did you do to your boat today
I just spent 3 hours washing the outside of the boat and that wasn't even waxing or anything special. Pressure washed everything then used a foam cannon and scrubbed from top down 😴.
We leave in a couple days for a 5 day trip with some fellow boaters.
I replaced this cover while I was in the replacing things with brighter white mood.
