    Orgiinal Lavorsi Marine Speedo

    [SOLD] Orgiinal Lavorsi Marine Speedo Upgraded to a MFD with GPS speedo a few years ago and figured I'd see if anyone on the forum is interested in the original speedo. Worked fine when I removed it from my boat and is in near perfect condition. Will ship. (sorry the pics are sideways and...

    Coolant Recommendations

    I have a water pump starting to seep a little coolant that I'm going to change out this offseason. The coolant in the engine now is orange-redish in color, is this just Dex-cool? The Mercruiser coolant is kinda pricey. (almost $20/gallon premixed), 2005 496 HO with closed cooling.

    Fresh Water System Problems

    I'm having problems with the fresh water system on our 2005 370 SS that is NOT a single fill system. It has separate inlets for filling the onboard fresh water tank and for hooking up to city water. Last year I started noticing air in the system while using the onboard pump that wouldn't bleed...

    2005 370SS Replacement DVD Player

    Has anyone had to replace the Blaupunkt DVD player on an 2005 370? My wife wants to be able to watch a DVD on the boat (doesn't make sense to me but happy wife....) and the sound keeps cutting out. Turning the player off the back on works for a while before cuts out again. Thinking of taking...

    Washing Factory Cockpit Pillows

    Has anyone cleaned the Formula factory outdoor pillows? They're made from Sunbrela and I was thinking of throwing them in the washer with some towels and letting them air dry. Or maybe having them dry cleaned. Any thoughts? Sent using Tapatalk

    Drive Oil - West Marine vs Walmart

    I purchased my drive oil last year from West Marine and had a couple bottles left over. I was at Walmart last week and noticed they had the Quicksilver High Performance drive oil for a pretty good price ($10/quart) so I picked up some. When I got home I noticed the bottles look a little...

    496 HO Seawater Pump Impeller Replacement Parts

    I puchased my boat with about 290 hours and now have about 375. I'm not having any problems but figured it's time I replaced the seawater pump impellers. I see the standard kit (part #8M0104229, engine serial #0W345020 & 0W345021) includes the impeller and O-ring, are there any seals or parts I...

    Question for 370 SS Owners

    I was wondering what other 370 owners have done with the empty space on the starboard side of the aft cabin. Mine doesn't have the optional TV there and it seems like a lot of wasted space. The space is about 4' wide by 3' tall and 11" deep and it'd have to be something removable as there are...

    Lubing Track for Bimini Connector

    Does anyone lube the track that runs along the radar arch that the bimini connectors slide into? I was thinking using a dry silicone lubricant to make installation easier. Sent using Tapatalk

    Programing ECU

    Does know the procedure to program my 2005 496 HO? Apparently these engines are programmed by default from the factory as starboard engines and now that that I can view the Smartcraft data, I need to program the port engine (as port engine) to display the data from that engine correctly. I have...

    Smartcraft Blue CAN Line Routing

    I’m running the 10-pin blue CAN line for my Smartcraft and one end has a yellow label near the connector that says, “Termination Resistor On This End”. Does anyone know if this should be hooked up to the engine harness, the junction box,or doesn’t matter? TIA

    Helm Seat Removal

    I'm trying to remove the top portion of the helm seat on my 370 to see what kind of access I have behind it (and to clean lol). I can get the port side loose but not the starboard. Before I force it too much, does anyone know for sure if the starboard side tie down is the same as the port side...

    For Sale: Bimini Top & Camper Top

    I just replaced the bimini and camper tops on my 2005 370 SS and like to find a good home for the old ones (both were original canvas pieces from factory). Color is Mediterranean Blue Tweed and both are in OK shape but they would probably need a little repair work for long term use. All zippers...

    Cleaning adhesive from vinyl

    I have some adhesive residue from some tape on one of my cockpit seats. OK to use acetone to clean it or is this a no no. Part that needs to be cleaned goes across some stitching if that matters. Sent using Tapatalk

    Running Wiring from Stern to Helm

    This offseason I need to run the Smartcraft wiring from my engines to the helm so I can display the info on my MFD. Is there a preferred path or way to do this? Or is it just how it looks and I just need to run a chase up the side wherever I can get through (using common sense of course) to pull...

    Binding Transom Door - Fixed

    I finally fixed the transom door on our 370, posting in the Super Sport section but may apply to other models. The transom door on our 370 rubbed the back seat cushion and engine cover since the day we bought it used last year. It rubbed so badly it was tearing up the vinyl on the cushion and...
