YYZRC, not that I am being nosey but I am also in Ontario and looking for a vessel view, did you purchase from a Merc dealer or buy on line, anyone
 that you found were offering any deals, thanks

YYZRC

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!

Spyderweb

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.

@YYZRC ,I use the Quicksilver fluid also.

YYZRC

Thanks!! What are you using for garbage bags for the built in “well to the center of the earth” bins?

aero3113

LoL! 13 gallon bags.

YYZRC

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!!

aero3113

I will, I’ll get that for you at some point today.

YYZRC

Thank you!!

aero3113

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

YYZRC

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

aero3113

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

YYZRC

That makes sense.  Thanks!

aero3113

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.

YYZRC

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

YYZRC

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

Aqua_Aura

Looks good. What's on the iPad, chart plotter software?

I’m going to guess Navionics app , I swear by it, best app out there.

aero3113

Looks great @YYZRC

aero3113

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

Aqua_Aura

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. 🤔

YYZRC

Navionics FTW!

YYZRC

Aero, can you please share the details of your order for the windshield gasket?  I need to replace mine.  Thanks!

aero3113

Send an email to tms@taylormadesystems.com 
Tell them you need 25’ of 41100024 . It should be $1.17 per foot plus tax, $10 handing fee plus shipping. They will send you a CC order form. 

YYZRC

Thanks!!!  Anything else I should order from TMS at the same time?

aero3113

Not that I know of

YYZRC

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

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

YYZRC

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