  2. Refrigerator replacement

    We have a 1986 53' Classic. The full size, original refrigerator just died and cannot be repaired. Does anyone have any suggestions for removal and replacement?

  4. LED Conversion

    I am planning to convert all interior halogen lights to LED. At the same time, since they don't use much power, I want to have them run off of house bank batteries (24v) and prefer not to connect to inverter. I now have the ancient but versatile Lutron Grafik Eye 2000 and they will only accept...

  8. anti-fouling for underwater lights

    I am about to install new trim-tab mounted Led lights to replace the halogen ones I installed about 7 years ago. What is everyone doing about antifouling to the (1) housing and (2) the lenses of these lights to make it simpler to maintain? I have used just plain antifouling in the past with...

  19. 12v71 twin station senders

    Apparently the oil pressure senders for the motor and MG516 gearbox are no longer made meaning the original AC brand gauges also need to be replaced. I’m wondering if anyone has a workaround for a VDO or similar sender? Oil range 0-80. Gearbox range 0-400psi.
