  1. Condensation dripping solved

    The aluminum window frames on my 43DC have always dripped some condensation in the Winter even though I have a dehumidifier running. Rather than installing insulated panels on the inside over the windows I have created a "gutter" to channel the water into cups as follows: I bought plastic 1/2...

  5. Radar - Dome vs Open Array

    I trust the open array provides better performance, but I wonder how much. Is it worth the added cost and space? I have Garmin 4212 and 4012 plotters on a 43 DCFB and would like to add radar. I assume I can just plug in. It is tempting to just follow the GPS plotter, in bad visibility,...

  8. Forward head losing pump suction

    1978, 53' YF - I have had the boat about a year now and have not had many opportunities nor the need to get it up on plane. Each time I have done so though, the forward head appears to lose the supply pump prime requiring me to break the discharge connection at the thru hull valve to finally get...

  9. Back Water Blues

    I recently moved my 1985 45C from a marina into a Miami canal and was wondering if the nasty, silted, tannic brown water could cause any ill effects to my raw water system. Silt and sediment are the main concerns as the canal is probably only 6 to 8 ft deep. Thanks for any help, Greg

  11. Checking an old copper oxide rectifier...?

    Can you check a copper oxide disc rectifier with a multimeter? I am trying to determine if a rectifier is working properly but can't figure out how to do so. I put a MM on it in both directions and get 56 Ohms in one direction and 70 Ohms in the other but I don't know if that means anything...

  12. Rolls Battery supplier?

    Any idea who has the best deals on Rolls Batteries? I realize the shipping (Boat in Kent Island, MD) is probably a deciding factory but I'm in the "research" stage for pricing/shipping 8 Rolls 8V 8 HHG 21PM Batteries. I've seen prices at around $410 apiece (not counting shipping) and wonder if...

  13. Battery Wiring

    This is a picture of my deep cycle 8D house batteries on my 37c. I am about to install an inverter, and one of the electricians that looked at the job said that these batteries are wired incorrectly and will not draw down evenly. Just wondering what other members of the forum think? Thanks Scott.

  14. Replacing battery cables

    I am getting ready to replace all the battery cables on the boat. After reading several threads about this, I still have some questions.

  16. 50 amp power cords

    Last spring I met a guy who had a new Marlow MY with an electrical problem. I loaned him my new-in-the-box spare 50 ft Marinco 125/250v 50 amp power cord. Rather than pay the shipping he just sent me a check for it. So I need a new one, and I can get whatever I want. When we went to plug in...

  17. water heater problem

    I just replaced a leaking water heater and ran into a strange problem. Now, when taking a shower the water keeps cycling from cold to scalding, without touching the valves. It didn't happen till I installed the new water heater! Any ideas what could be wrong?
