Nice @YYZRC ! 

Don’t forget the panel behind the couch when it’s folded down! Or is it all one panel?

YYZRC

On the 350 the hull liner doesn’t show when the couch is folded down. All good!

YYZRC

Anyone find a good replacement for the galley fridge and cockpit fridge thermostats?
I had one that was bad no cooling and one that was shorted never stopped cooling and always iced up.
I replaced them with 

Ranco K50-P1127-001 Cooler Thermostat

. they both work now but both seem to not get as cold as the wife likes. looking for ones that will set to a lower temp. Any info out there?

YYZRC

Great service in my experience.

also if the fridge isn’t getting cold enough, put the thermister tube deeper into the insulation. It will allow the fridge to get colder.

I am looking to replace my anchor light on my 2010 360EC.  I want to use the same mounting holes.   Does anyone know what make/model of LED anchor light that will fit?   

Thanks

@tricountytrail, this is the one I have as a spare for my cockpit fridge. I got it from the Cdn distributor.

Late test due to Covid, But I was finally able to run the boat after the installation of the hill 4x4 (20 pitch) props. In my opinion the 4x4 was better to get my boat out the hole in a lower rpm and I was able to plane the boat around 2800 to 2900 rpm which it was around 10 to 13 knots which it feel very slow.  I lost speed between 2 to 4 knots, plus the eng rpm are more higher to cruiser now.  My normal cruising speed with the 4x3 Mercruiser props 21 pitch was between 19 to 20 knots around 3050 rpm, to do the same with the 4x4 hills prop I have to increase the rpm between 100 to 200 rpm more to cruise around 19 to 20 knots. The feeling of the boat is more heavy which it may be because I am not used to this props yet. I going to cont running with the 4x4 for now until the end of this season, But I believe my original set up of 4x3 (21 pitch) Mercruiser prop with a drive of 2.20.1 gear ratio are the perfect combination for my boat.

That’s a bit disappointing @oscar1 - maybe reach out to the guys at Hill for their thoughts? It’s a lot of $$ for no real improvement. 

aero3113

Im surprised that there wasn’t a big improvement for you @oscar1. 

oscar1

Yes, it didn't work for me. You can see the pics speed and rpm in the gps or the vessel view and the performers are not there. I may call them to see if they have another ideas

@YYZRC, is that factory wiring in the bottom photo?

aero3113

What are you doing there @YYZRC ?
I would say it’s factory wiring, I want to say my 330 looks the same.

YYZRC

Yes it’s all factory wiring. 

Grahamu

@YYZRC, thanks, I'm still trying to find plug C20, square white 4x4(16 pins), all the speaker wires for the cockpit connect there. I know the wires from the amps run low on the stbd side low from the vee berth area and come out next to the helm. I was wondering if the factory used ducting but your pic shows none.

What are you doing there @YYZRC ?

YYZRC

Maybe this is the connector @Grahamu ?

Edit: sorry not 4x4

YYZRC

Installing an inverter and lithium cell to allow me to enjoy coffee without the genny.

great man

aero3113

You found a lot more storage space for that cabinet by cutting that opening bigger 👍🏻👍🏻

YYZRC

Yep, total bonus space!  Well ventilated and easy to wire up. 

YYZRC

Got the door from Boat Outfitters. Very happy!

Nice @YYZRC !! Very useable now!
