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...

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.

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.

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.

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??
