Re: Up Date Your 388 Hustler
The flush latches I've been using from BoatUS are made by Teak Isle Mfg Inc.,401 Capitol Court, Ocoee,Fla. They claim to supply 200 boatbuilders worldwide.As I said in an earlier post, they also sell key locking flush latches. P/N 29201 as an example fits panels 1/2 to 3/4" thick and is one number I've been using. For what it's worth...

They don't blend in as good as the metal ones but they don't break. The new ones come with a different length screw. The panel under the steering wheel took a different length screw also.
When Bill at Hustler was still there in parts, he sold them to me at a fair price . The new price now is double what I paid before . They are high but they don't break.
If we could find out where they git them from it would be about 125% less
Heres a pick of the old and new. Hope this helps yall

These are the Southco M1 series. The white are M1-61-1( or -62/-63/-64 depending on panel thickness). The stainless steel are M1-41-8(or -42/43/44: depending on thickness). Their website is Southcofasteners.com.

Re: Up Date Your 388 Hustler
Here is a pick of the Trim/drive indicator panel . They are the teleflex cables . the one on the tabs people have been having problem with them bending at the tab. Telaflex told me ya need to lubricate [grease] them at the tabs where the rubber boots are .
I don't think we can pull the cable back thru the wiring harness with all the tye raps on them ,
Cable length is 22ft and 25ft the cable series is a c27r. LMarth ended up with a different name brand .We are still doing research on them to see which is better. I also talked to Fred at Trick marine and he is working on a line of cable thats all stainless.should save some money going thru him also.

Re: Up Date Your 388 Hustler
Here is the cable thats bent .I straightened it out some .but its frozen I figure might as well do both while the motors are out.
Also a pick of the bundle that its in.
Here is a pick of the depth finder puck. When they lay the boat up there is no foam coring here to try to get the sender to read thru the bottom, With a step bottom they tell me once your moving they want read anyway.Mine doese'nt On the older boat I am told they put the puck by the drain plug.

Re: Up Date Your 388 Hustler
Here are the bilge pump and float switch . Walmart sales both of these cheap. Atwood . Lmarth said his is different from this.He has a Rule.. The front bilge pump is still a rule on both year models.
On the Whipples they come with a thru hull pick up for the innercoolers.I asume they will have to go by the drain plug ?
I need to mount 2 more sea strainers also Have to figure out where?any sugestions
Notice the Gill strainers the top plastic have yellowed and stained. Is anybody else like this??
