    I got it on eBay from a guy in Australia.  I think it was around $1200 USD shipped.

    @YYZRC Wow, not sure how that shaft would get bent. I do know somewhere it says when removing foot from flush petal, DON'T let it up easy, but rather slide it off quickly so it snaps back up.  Mine started sealing better when I switched to that technique.
    It pains me to do it this way but it works!  Thanks for the tip, Spyder!

    Yeah, I know what you mean.  Feels kinda uncouth.  But that's what the directions say to do.

    Installed two new power steering coolers today. What are you using for PS fluid, ATF? I have “quicksilver trim and power steering fluid” that says it can be used in place of ATF.

    Aero, are your wiper arms/wipers original?  PO of my boat messed up the wiper arms (drilled them) and the wiper blades are clearly wrong.  Could you please measure your wipers and arms when you get a chance?  Thank you!!

    The arm looks like 23.5” or 24” and the blade is 16” .

    Do you have straps on the back of your bimini?  I see two loops on the transom but mine has no straps.

    Yes, if I have no curtains up I have to use the straps to keep the Bimini tight.

    If the curtains are up on the arch and everything else is down I still don’t need the straps. Only if everything is off.

    Back to this crappy topic - do we have the 149 in our 330s?  I assume discharge side is determined when sitting on the throne?

    iPad is mounted on 1/4” starboard. I think it’s going to work well!

    @YYZRC as for the toilet, I never figured out the correct model.

    Well I swear by it to. I was just curious and wanted to see what he was using without me running an advertisement for navionics which is a great app for a low price and can be used on multiple devices with one login. Ok I'm done. 

    Also maybe there is some other special software on there we don't know about. 🤔

    Just measured the pooper and it’s a perfect match for 148/149

    Edit: I found the instruction manual and it confirms 148/149

    I need to replace the fresh and waste vents, they’re badly corroded. Thoughts on these?
