I called it solvent, but used an epoxy to seal the joints. Used s/s through bolts for added strength.

I used the large 8D's to minimize connections which could corrode. Yes, they were heavy and cumbersome to handle, but you only do it once. They are set up as 2 8D for port side and 2 8D starboard side house/starting, with a switch to isolate/combine. Now plenty of amps to operate my Cat...

My four 8D batteries no longer were providing much amp hours, even after a full charge. So with all this time being Locked Down courtesy of Covid 19, I decided to address this issue. Did alot of research on various battery options, and came to the conclusion of "what aint broke, don't...

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these trying virus times. We are on 5 week lock down here on SXM, so am using this time to catch up on trawler "honey do" list action items. Has anyone installed a Samson Post on their 390? When buying my boat in Florida, my broker gave me a...

Picture of unit that replaces the CD400. It is the PHD gauge from DataMarine.

Forward wash down hose on 390 I had the same issue on my 2000 390. I removed the state room headboard mirror, but still could not gain access to that hose to replace it. I think these were installed at the factory while installing the top deck. Mine just pulled out 20", so assuming...

Thanks for the reply. Already had contact with these people a month ago. Unit was sold long time ago...they have not updated their website. I have searched the internet, Amazon, Ebay with no hits. DataMarine has contacted me with an alternative; their PHD gauge will act as a remote...

Hope everyone is being safe during these coronavirus 19 times. I am looking for a new/used Depth Gauge CD400 from DataMarine. It is a model that was installed on my 2000 390 MS. Anyone have one from an upgrade to sell? Just need the gauge only, as everything else is in place. I checked...

I too have a 2000 390. Here's what I discovered as I had two damaged by Irma storm. That model is no longer in their offerings. So I disassembled the hatch, removing all hardware. Then took it to my local glass shop who also does Lexan. Using it as a template, the cut an exact fit...

Also, at 1600rpm she will cruise at 7.5 -8.5mph.

I have a 2000 390 with single Cat 3161 diesel. Bottom just painted. I too am a bit confused on my performance data. I can run WOT at 2000rpm, and get 9.5 - 10.5 mph via my GPS. The 10.5 is with following seas and wind. I really thought it should be 12.5 or better. I am third owner, so...

Yes that is the same as on my 390, but the auto on feature of vac when plugging hose into the suction opening will not work unless that vac circuit breaker is on.

All, I live in the Caribbean full time and run a business here on Sint Maarten. I have a 200T Master CG lic, and still shipped my trawler down here from Florida for all the above reasons. My 2000 MS39 is NOT an ocean going vessel. Even when I take her out for day trips or island visits...

Central vac factory installed The system is mounted at the inside helm, left lower quadrant, just below the steering wheel. The foot rest is positioned to the right of it, when normally the foot rest is dead center below the steering wheel. Uses vac bags we buy at Walmart. Lots of power, and...

Central vac factory installed I have a 2000 390 MS, and it has a factory installed 110v central vac (a bit of a misnomer as it is just located just at the inside helm at the salon level). It does have a long hose to reach the entire inside of vessel. And yes, it has it's own switch/circuit...

390/350 fly bridge spray shield vendor? Very surprised with as many of these boats that were built (I am told 350+) that no one has had to replace a fly bridge spray shield...and which supplier fabricated them for MainShip in Florida...

350/390 flybridge spray shield Thanks for the heads up on the 350 using the same spray shield as the 390. Just looking for the vendor contact that did all these models of boats, if they are in business still, and can I order one and have it shipped to SXM. Due to the complexities of the...

Does any one know which supplier provided the factory spray shield for the 2000 390 fly bridge? I have asked this previously, and many suggested having a local vendor create this, but am located in the Caribbean. No one has this capability due to the complex curves involved. Mine was...

Rudder indicator install http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s11/390-trawler-2000-rudder-indicator-install-41840.html#post718936

From what I can see in picture is that you have just 2 wires from the sender going to the gauges in parallel set up. Thus one gauge works (which means sender IS WORKING). I would check the wires going to the gauge not working, and especially the connections at the rear of the not working...

2000 Mainship 390 water hose for wash down I have the same boat. Nightmare to get to the connection to replace the hose. Could not do mine, so even though it was 19+ years old, yellow, but did not leak, I just replaced the sprayer head. I took the forward stateroom queen bed bulkhead mirror...

2000 MS 390 listing issue Latest update on listing issue...I ordered the diesel fuel transfer pump from Amazon, hooked up appropriate hoses to it, and figured it would take just 3-4 minutes to transfer fuel from Port tank (listing side) to Starboard tank. Didn't figure on a 90 degree turn on...

Hi Doug, thanks for the input. The simple fact that I did not have any list previously, makes me believe this situation can be remedied. My list is dramatic...almost 3-4" above water line on stbd, and on portside my white accent line is well below the water with algae growing on it. My...

VacuFlush toilet fix Hi Chris, I like that idea. It was a true nightmare to install the sender flange into the poly tank when we did this change over. But the sender itself just screws into flange making it easier to take out and clean. I will follow your suggestion and secure a 2nd, so it...

NovaKool cooling update Just wanted to share this update on improving the cooling efficiency of my NovaKool RFU6200 on my 2000 MS 390: After the 3 fans installed (outlined on previous thread), I still was not content with the cooling, so went to the experts at NovaKool. Spoke to Jim/Stuart...
