  4. Cleaning Electronics Display Screens

    I didn't want to steal JLR's thread (cleaning binnoculars) so I thought it best to start anew and ask what is best to clean electronic's screens (GPS, sunder, radar, PC, coke machine, etc.). Before you say read the instructions, I have. And no two suggest the same thing. Also, if I'm correct,...

  5. "UTC" Time

    At 6:04 PM (1804) the sea buoy off Sunset Beach, NC - near the SC/NC state line - had this to say: "Station 41024 CaroCOOPS Location: 33.848N 78.489W Conditions as of: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:00:00 UTC" Does any one know what is "UTC" time?? Thanks,

  6. Sea Buoys...weather conditions

    Why is it, on the advent of one of the worst storms we have seen all up and down the east coast, I can't find ONE - not one solitary - weather buoy on the east coast of America showing winds in excess of 55 Kts? Just trying to understand what they are there for. Capt'n Bill

  7. Canvas Cleaner for Mildew

    I know that this has been kicked around a lot in the past, but it's been a while since I read anything new. My question is what should I be looking for in a canvas cleaner solution that is effective on mildew and bleach free? Most stuff that I've used in the past has been anywhere from moderately...

  8. If it ain't broke...break it!

    All alternators eventually wear out their bearings. Hence, damage to the brushes. On automobiles (with quiet engines) you can tell by the pitch of the sound coming out of an alternator it the bearings are worn. No big deal to replace or get repaired. The question: when my diesels are running I...

  10. It’s my turn, curses!

    Over the past couple of months the aft head started cycling right after flushing (older Sealand vacuum type). Meaning after it built up pressure and stopped it would cycle on again for say 15 pumps or so. To make a long story short the system abruptly quit building up suction – and not removing...

  12. Back Up Sounder

    Hi guys! The old original Dart sounder (1988) finally died. (Bet no one gets 22 years off today's electronics!) My main sounder is a Garmin mounted on top of the console. Works fine. The Dart is like a thick panel mounted flat (horizontally) near the throttles. A neat installation. I think that I...

  13. Re: Newly Asked Service Questions - Zincs

    I would like to add to that post that the problem was solved last October (2009). An astute mechanic made the accurate determination that the old (original) battery charger was bleeding off AC current over to the the DC side and, hence, into the bonding system. It got so bad that all under hull...

  14. Unhappy Glendenning Syncs.

    I was told that once I reach my desired speed I should then activate the Glendenning Syncronizer, and that starting off from idle with the syncs activated causes stress to the system soloids (or something). Can anyone shed some light on this please? Bill

  15. Acrylic panes incorporated in canvas

    I am beginning to hear about a procedure that incorporates acrylic window panes in with canvas, particularly the forward windows of a fly bridge. One source suggests that hot glue from a glue gun is utilized and can make a long term bond. Has anyone had any experience with this??? Thanks!

  16. Proper coolant for 3208 CATs

    I need to change out the coolant in my 3208 CAT's which have done quite well with Dexcool in the last 5 years. I'm not sure that something else would work better. Dexcool was (or still is) a GM product with ethylene glycol. Prestone's "Dexcool", when you call Autozone or Advance Auto, does not say...

  17. Extended Life Coolant

    In Feb. 2004 (Nobody You Know) engines were flushed and refilled with Dexcool Extended Life Coolant. While I'm sure the running time per year is way under the life of the coolant a Freightliner dealer and a CAT dealer (not the same) advise that the coolant is good for 5 years. The litmus strip...

  19. Brighten up the salon

    Recently while carusing YachtWorld I noticed a 40 DCMY same as mine but with a much brighter interior (browsing YachtWorld can get you in trouble). I emailed the broker and he said this: "wipe down the walls with isopropyl alcohol, at least 90 proof, and then wax the walls with liquid turtle wax....
