22 years. couple name changes over time. same results.

i scrape off as much as possible with hard plastic tools. denatured alcohol to clean and then scotch-brite Non-abrasive pads and Flitz.

strongly suggest against 4200. GE Silicone II almond is a match and what i was told to use by GW. Secure with the screws and a nice bead around it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-Advanced-Silicone-2-Caulk-10-1-oz-Window-and-Door-Sealant-Almond-2813667/317804254 make sure you use exterior...

sounds good. something to look forward to.

i should have mentioned that i have the upgraded helm seat. that said, a 2022 seat should not generally have the issue you indicate. unfortunately, my seat was not installed in a high quality manner (along with many other items on the boat) and i had to "fix" it as best as possible. if they...

if this is for me, not a tightening thing. you can tighten to stop any wobble, but then you can't swivel. i don't actually sit so the swivel is more important to me.

had a 2009 with F350's. other than a first year stbd engine casting crack out of winter layup, no problems. loved the boat. downsized in 2021 to a Marlin. i do miss the 330 center helm, but it's also something you may or may not like. i do think that a 330 with F300's will be hurting a...

couple of "locks" on it. you can't have it swivel and not rock at the same time. pick one. take a look under the seat and it should be obvious. good luck, ron

similar on the line evacuation. i use a shop vac and draw out as much water as i can on the fresh water system, then 6 gallons antifreeze in the tank and run though all the lines. i recapture antifreeze each spring and use it in the head holding tank and pour into open drains for kicks . on...

narrow strong putty knife. work from one end to the other gently. can't remember exactly but i think tape pieces were about 6" long. dome lights have to come off first. my lights where wired direct; i cut them and installed bullet connectors for ease. good luck, ron

is it just the vinyl or the actual backer board? my vinyl came off. i had to pull the backer board down carefully and restrech the vinvl. GW only left about 1/2 inch or so overlap which was defintley not sufficient. I got GW to send me the 2 sided mounting tape to reattach the backer board...

ask GW directly. they will respond based on your HIN.

sorry. i was just saying if they do, why not just pop it in. i have to believe it's a minor cost related to the entire Optimus system?

doesn't Garmin do a steer by wire autopilot for the Optimus?

yes. the joystick needs to be calibrated. the ap compass also needs to be calibrated. and you'll have to make sure that the engines are trimmed horizontal to the boat hull so you don't get prop wash impacts. there is a small blurb in the DEC manual about calibration. if you don't have your...

owned the boat for 10 years.

hull is 16,000+ lbs wet without people. 250's will hurt on the cruise range. i had f350's with 4 blades, which, if asked, would be my recommendation. but, for the OP, you can deal with that at a future date as i posted before. good luck, ron

i use this in buff. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--gel-coat-scratch-patch--P004_120_006_503?recordNum=5 clean it up and make sure it's dry. good luck, ron

someone i know has the DF350's used commercially. he's happy with them. my personal preference is more power (i had a 232 with twin F200's). i'd rather have more power and use less, than have less power and need more. just me. good luck with it. ron
