    Can’t wait to see!  I really like the metal ones I put in a few years ago.

    The 390/400 doesn’t have a stern light which would seem to put it out of sync with the rules for boats over 40’.

    Discovered that the anchor locker drains are about 3" above the base of the anchor locker, meaning there is always standing water in there. Forgot to take a pic. Will likely end up filling the holes and re-drilling them 3" lower.

    I’m pretty sure my 330 is the same way! 🙄

    I don't understand why they did this! The drains are well above the waterline (even when plowing a lot of water). Waffling between filling and redrilling the drains vs building up the floor of the anchor locker with foam and then a couple layers of fiberglass. Either approach is easy since the PO cut 1/3 of the bulkhead away!  :D

    Definitely cannot leave it as-is since the anchor locker is not sealed off from the cabin, meaning that moisture (mold) is impacting the cabin as well.

    GLS dropped the price of the 330/340/350 hardtop, it's practically free now ($3400)!

    I paid almost $7000 and still the best upgrade I did. Do it, @aero3113 !!

    It is amazing how much cooler the hard top keeps the cockpit

    That is a steal!
    If I installed a hard top, I wouldn’t be able to have the boat hauled to the house. It would be too high.

    I love having it in the backyard. It’s my therapy when I walk out and work on her.

    @tricountytrail it is almost certainly mounted on the starboard side of the anchor well. If you remove the starboard speaker you should be able to access it. 
    So only 2 wires coming from the front of boat on my 360. Its not under dash or any where in front of that.
    I double checked the engine compartment only place left is under helm seat or behind ice maker. Anyone know where it is on a 342? Still trying to find windless solenoid???

    Picture of actual wiring coming from front of boat then travels all the way back thru cabin and into helm.

    @Dream_Inn would you mind posting a pic of your shower head? I can’t figure out how to mount it such that the door doesn’t interfere.

    @Dream_Inn @LaRea do either of you recognize this connector? There is one per motor; it is located right at the transom assembly. 

    Other end is connected directly to starting batter for respective motor and has a 5 amp fuse.

    So, my shower head does interfere with door if left in normal position.  But, we move it flat around against the wall when not in use.

    As for that wire, maybe trim solenoid?  Fuel pump?

    I know the DTS uses a 5-amp breaker.

    Thanks gents. Upon digging through some photos it might connect to the engine harness.
