I have the exact same boat. 2005 and the black hull. If you have any questions, I will do my best to help. Have Fun!!

Thanx Hamdog....by the way, where the heck is the freshwater and black water tank? My tank monitors are not working and I need to get access.  I thought I found the freshwater but it's actually the grey water tank...behind the mirror in the aft cabin.

Fresh water: starboard side. There is an access plate behind the ice maker (you can see it under the trash can there too).

Waste tank: port side. Direct opposite of fresh water. Most people take out the side wall in the storage area behind the mirror aft cabin. If you can fit: crawl in the under port seating area and you can get to the waste tank sensor that way too.

Both sensors are from www.fireboy-xintex.com.

I've got a grey water tank behind the mirror, not sure I'll be able to get in there but I'll check when I get to the boat tomorrow.

There is a deck plate towards the aft under the port seating. I crawled in there and took it out, thought that was for the fuel tank.....I'll look at it again.

The fuel and black water tanks are borh in there.

We used to have that boat. We loved it. I think it's a great looking boat. I did have to access the waste tank to run a new line to it from the head. Take apart the interior in the rear berth port side. The tank is real accessible at that point.

Dan,  Congrats.  The 342 is one heck of a boat.  As to the tanks I had a door put in each side of that aft storage space behind the mirrored door.  Now I can have a look any time I want.  That was an idea I got from a post on the predicesor to this forum.  The door used is a rectangular hatch with a latch that could probably be found at West Marine of Defender.

DanD2

Thanx for the comments guys.

Tony, problem with my boat is that I've got a grey water tank in that storage compartment and there's no way it'll come out without taking everything apart, Looks like a PITA job.

Here she is with the new name....
