Thank you! 😂

@YYZRC here you go. No Friday afternoon special for me. Maybe mine was put together on a Thursday!

aero3113

@johnny44 yours looks like it’s installed further forward than ours.

YYZRC

It is odd because the aft position of the windshield (base of arch) is static and should be the same on every 330/340/350/360. I guess there enough play in the assembly to get it off kilter somewhat. 

aero3113

Looks like over an inch from mine….

YYZRC

@aero3113 you need to send @johnny44 the details on how to order some new windshield weather stripping!

Edit: found my original invoice. 25 feet.

johnny44

Yes please

aero3113

@johnny44 , find your windshield frame serial number it’s on the port or starboard side (maybe both). Give Taylor Made a call and tell them you need new weather stripping. And don’t forget to remove and reseal all of your frame screws! When you cut it to fit, cut it a little long.

Wrapped the cabin door with stainless look vinyl. Hoping to reduce sunlight infiltration in the early morning. 

In case anyone wonders what it looks like under the door cover:

aero3113

Nice @YYZRC ! I’ll probably pull my cover soon or over the winter to replace a broken screw on the top track.

YYZRC

I took the opportunity to replace the screw that was missing from my screen door.

@YYZRC I like the look of that stainless on the door.  I did it with my ice maker and been very happy with it.  I'm curious how well it will stand up to things and get any nicks in it.  I usually pull my screen door behind it when we sleep, it helps with sun penetration.  I'd think that will help a lot more. Now I'll have to look a bit more to see if anything can come off around where my door gets stored.  I don't think I can access that area like you did.  If I can, that would be great to get in there to clean it out!

Looks good. no issues wrapping the corners and curves when applying? I did the fridge but what I used creased up but I don't think it was vinyl more metallic.

YYZRC

@Dream_Inn I will report back at the end of the season on durability. I trimmed pretty far back from the edges hoping to avoid peeling. I used the same material as you did for your fridge (from Amazon). Wish it was a bit more grey and less silver but oh well. 

@tricountytrail it’s not a compound curve so it was easy to apply. It’s not a perfect install but 90% or so. 

Dream_Inn

@YYZRC Do you have some pictures of the edges?  Curious if you wrapped it all on the edge?  I'm also wondering if it gets hot at all, although I wouldn't think it would. & hey, if it doesn't work, I would think it wouldn't take much to pull back off and little cleaning and you are back to where you started.  Even if you had to redo it every couple years, not a huge deal.

YYZRC

Posted a pic of the edge above. Did not wrap around. Tried to leave about 1/8” reveal.

Built and mounted drawers under the sofa in the salon. Ordered laminate to match the cherry wood. Will have some drawer fronts made up when it arrives. 

This will be a great place to store our duffel bags full of clothes.

Nice @YYZRC !! So much easier to use them then having to lift the couch bottom.

YYZRC

Exactly. The couch lift never works as there’s always crap on the couch (or the dog). 

YYZRC

This Amazon fridge organizer is awesome! A bit jury-rigged for now as I need to install the blue shelf that came with the fridge.

Yea, sometimes I try to lift it with my daughters on it because I’m tired of telling them to get off! 😂

For the record, the Admiral wasn’t loving my enthusiasm.

Which simrad are you running? I currently have a go9 and am probably going to upgrade.

YYZRC

I have a GO12 for nav, a GO9 for sonar/gauges and a GO9 for gauges

johnny44

Love that dash!

tricountytrail

How much more screen is the go12. compared to the go 9
I might try to mock up the 

Simrad NSX 3012 Chartplotter Fishfinder or 3009 on a gimbal mount to right side for plotting. My Go 9 keeps rebooting on start up sometimes take over 30 min to come up.

YYZRC

I think 9 is too small for navigating. I went from a 12” iPad with Navionics to the GO12 so admittedly I’m spoiled.

Installed new seacore transom assemblies. 

@YYZRC when you bought your seacore transom assemblies, I am sure you shopped around. Any advice? 

YYZRC

@johnny44 Not really because I'm in Canada so we just accept that everything is at least +20% vs USA.

I found the best price I could online (in USA) and the parts dept at my marina came within a few hundred dollars of matching it. It was well worth the extra money as I didn't have to deal with hauling them to the marina - they are shipped on a pallet and each box is probably 2' x 3' x 4'.
