Hi everyone, I am considering buying a1999 Martinique 3000. It does not have air conditioning or a windlass. Does anyone have experience installing AC or windlass or if anyone has experience with potential costs for this I would greatly appreciate the assistance.

It is price around 25K with 5.0L engines with 300 hours. Runs great and average cosmetic.

Thank you.

Jeff

I have a 2000 290 Coastal. I need to replace the water valve on a Dometic/Sealand Vacuflush toilet.

Problem is that the toilet is mounted so close to the sink structure that I can not get to it. There was plenty of room
to mount it further away (just 4 inches would have been sufficient) or install one that had the valve on the other side.
Basically want to see if anyone has removed a toilet on this model as it looks like that is where it's heading. Thanks
for any ideas.

1997 Eclipse 2000
The bilge in the center of the boat between the driver and passenger seats does not drain. There is a large plastic plug in the rear of the bilge that I pulled out and removed some debris. I can feel a drain pipe in the hole but snaking it out has not helped. I also tried to snake it from the engine bilges forward. I reach a hard spot both ways. Help please. See pics.

Just purchased a 1997 Eclipse 2000 that needs work. I’ll be here often looking for help and advice.

The batteries, battery switch and sounder module are located just under the step-down into the cuddy. I noticed some water around the batteries and decide to investigate. Removed one battery and saw this plug. It screws into a hole in the floor and has an o-ring to obviously make it water tight. It obviously doesn't work! Removed the plug and water comes pouring out. It is full of water down there! The bilge of this boat is dry and the boat is on a trailer, not in the water. So, now I am perplexed. Does this boat have two separate bilges? And no connection between the two so they can both drain? No way to get water out of this area without using a manual pump? I can't ask the previous owner because he passed away. And his wife just doesn't know anything about the boat. It took forever to get all the water out but I have to figure out how water gets down there to begin with and if there is a drain plugged up somewhere.

Anyone familiar with the 2010 Wellcraft 232 Coastal or might have an idea? Attached a pic for clarification. Any info appreciated! and thanks in advance.

There are two of these on my boat. Can someone tell me what they are?

Hello Guys,

Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of the Spyder 26. What engine package is the best? 454's or 350's. What should I look out for in regard to structural problems etc. Are they good in rough water?. I am about to purchase a 1987 with 350's, only one engine is original. The boat looks very clean, red, new trailer, new interior. 10k for all. Any help would be really appreciated.

I got an 10 year old boat from the original owner who gave me all the documentation he had. Problem is there are no owner manuals. Only how to install. My boat has the Raymarine E80 with 2KW radar and I would like to learn how to use it all. Even the Raymarine website only shows the installation details. Didn't they provide owner manuals with these things? How to navigate etc. I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to turn on the radar. Anyone know of a good source of owner manuals? Surely youtube isn't the only way to learn about this stuff.

Gosh, remember when the internet had useful information. Now it is just full of people trying to sell you stuff you don't need.

So I've been scouring the internet trying to find an answer to my question, and then I found this forum. After searching here for a bit I still haven't found an answer.

So here goes:
1979 WellCraft SunCruiser 2000
Is the hull solid fiberglass or is it cored with something, like foam.
I am looking at an in-hull transducer for my fish finder, but apparently they only work on solid fiberglass hulls.

Please help!
I'd love to get my transducer off the transom and out of harm's way. Plus it should increase the speed at which I can fish find.
