    Replace stereo head unit

    Andrew, Not sure if you've proceeded with any of the stereo work yet. If so, you may have discovered this already... Once you pull the speaker grill off, there are four straight "brackets" that hold the cherry panel on. Just remove the bracket screws, and the panel will come right off...

    How-to: convert your Merc raw water pump to crank-driven Johnson (take 3)

    Yep. Here's a video of an older one. Some of the accessories and harnesses have changed, but basically the same as a more modern setup. Water pump/impeller astern. Would not be fun to change, but on the I/O boats, it's a breeze.

    Fuel Capacity

    Hum... My 2007 34 is listed as having a 206-gallon fuel capacity. From my observations, the fuel gauges are VERY conservative. I believe this may be by design, to keep operators out of trouble. As an example, I can be down to 1/8th of full fuel showing on the gauges, but at that...

    Change Battery Configuration (separate house from start battery bank)

    My 07 34 came OEM with two group 31s on the port side, that serve as house and port starting. Two M7 group 24s for stbd starting, and one M6 group 24 for genset starting. OEMs were Deka. Currently running Lifelines of the same size…

    Change Battery Configuration (separate house from start battery bank)

    Lifepo4 batteries don’t do well living in, or being charged in a hot space. It shortens their lifespan noteably. That’s one of the reasons I passed with our design boat. You’d also need to upgrade alternators/wiring, and preferably go to external regulators for Lifepo4 technology...

    Shower sump float switch

    Put screens in your sink/shower drains, and run water down the drain and through the sump box for a couple of flush/pump cycles after putting shampoo, soap suds, toothpaste, dishwashing liquid ect..., down the drain. It flushes out most of what sits in, and fouls the system out, rather than...

    Engine room Insulation, 07 34pc

    What prompted you to change this Joe? Wanted something more effective? Mine still looks new, and isn't falling or anything. I've always wondered if treating the underside of the floor would make a worthwhile improvement, but never considered changing what's already there.

    2008 34PC: New Electronics?

    I still wanted Navionics Cartography, which was one of the reasons I stuck with Raymarine. I know Garmin purchased Navionics, but they still had a Blue Charts display when I was doing the refit last Winter. Nothing wrong with that look...just not what I was used to. If I understand...

    Auto Pilot solution for 37PC

    This thread hasn't been active for a while, but if any commenters are still following, I did go to fully hydraulic steering a year ago. What a difference. Absolutely transformed the boat. This enabled autopilot...which tracks dead straight. Actually, the boat tracks straight without...

    Odor in fresh water.

    I might add to run all the hot water out of the water heater before you start. (Use an outdoor faucet or this part of the process will stink up your cabin.) Then when you initially turn on the water pump to distribute the tank solution, it will re-fill the water heater first?which is often...

    Auto Pilot solution for 37PC

    Turbo Joe... I have the same boat, and my hand may be forced on at least a partial helm refit, and this would be the time to address this, if ever. Thus, this conversion is compelling. A few questions if you don?t mind: - What brand system did you choose? - What is the current draw of the...

    Pulling Left

    Just had my boat out of the water for annual Drive service about a month ago. The usual stuff.... pull drives, lower unit oil change, check engine alignment, check gimbal bearings, reinstall, new anodes, repaint. (No Bellows change this year.) Since doing this, and going back in the water...

    34 PC A/C Question

    Any late model PC owners notice the bus voltage drop when your air-conditioning compressor engages? Mine is dropping about 15 V. I don't remember seeing it drop that much in the past, although I haven't watched all that closely. My air-conditioning is cooling fine, but I am having a minor...
