Around a year ago I replaced the windlass on the boat with a Maxwell 2200. My concern is the connection of the wiring to the battery. The previous windlass had the positive connection to the battery switch, but I was told that that was not the correct way to wire it, that the connection had...

A while back there was a posting that contained an internet site for Racor elements at a good price. Of course I misplaced the info and I can't find the post in the archives. If anyone can help It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Fred

Hope all had a great weekend, we spent it traveling to Turnberry in North Miami, this was our first trip. All the work that had been done on the vessel from hull to new isenglass was well worth it and we were excited. The Mechanic that I used was excellent and the many days we spent on the boat...

“N’s” preferably. When you next run your engines, at idle, would you please take IR temp readings on your exhaust manifolds, 1 inch from the head and post the readings? This is for comparison purposes to mine. On mine I read: Port eng, Left Bank- 177-184F Port eng, Right Bank- 177-180F...

Our boat has the 3 original Galley-Maid heads and, it appears, the original controls. The control consists of a small panel with an electric flush button which you press and hold for however long you wish to flush. After the toilets flush, water continues into the bowl for several seconds and...
