2004 360 Sport Sedan questions
1. I have a circular gauge on the electrical panel that shows the fresh water amount. However, I've yet to find a gauge of any kind that shows what the level of fill is for the BLACK water tank. I realize I probably could go crawling around below deck and look for the tank but seems to me there should be a gauge somewhere. Ideas?
2. I recently (I've only had the boat a little over a month) ran into an issue with the motor stalling as we were trying to enter a slip, very dodgy moment. So, I brought in a well-recommended mechanic to try to suss out the continuous problem with getting the engines running and keeping them running. The mechanic was perplexed by the boat shuddering when we tried to start the engines (Volvo Pentas). He developed a theory that there might be excessive back pressure due to the underwater exhaust arrangement. Any ideas on this?
OK, there will be more questions coming as I get more up close and personal with this gorgeous vessel, so, I thank any respondent in advance
Cheers!
Patrick

If they are gas engines, most likely time for a tune up.
What engines and how many hours?

Re: 2004 360 Sport Sedan questions
Have you tried looking in the head for the black water gauge? Look in cabinets, behind curtains, etc. You may instead have an electronic indicator somewhere with LEDs instead of a gauge. I suspect you have a Vacuflush head? If so, check the control switch if you have one beside the head and look for any hint that it may indicate levels too.
