Are they installed in the location of the originals in the breaker panel on port side? That is what I am trying to confirm. Your picture showed them in a different location unless I am mistaken. Also, do they need separate 12 volt power for display or do they run only off the AC power...

I use Starbrite teak sealer and like the results. It works the same as the SEMCO product which I used before. It comes in various colors.

Can anyone confirm they fit in the original AC panel? My concern is the 3.5 inch depth of the gauge as the width of the hole seems fine. Thanks,

I am looking to mount a Starlink with Seaview mount on my radar arch with minimum hole drilling. First thought is to 4200 two pieces of plastic board to the arch, then secure unit to the boards with screws. Would the Imron on the arch need to be removed or scuffed prior to 4200? I wonder if...

My boat has a 120/240 input and a 240 only on each side. When I hook up to the 120/240 output of my marina am I only getting 120 ? If I hook up the 120/240 to the 240 would I get 240? An electrician friend told mine to me the 120/240 is three phase and the 240 single phase. Asking because my...

I am looking to install the Racor LG100 in my fuel line vents. Has anyone done this? Curious where the vent line is located for each fuel tank and if it is a flexible line or metal. The unit has a 5/8 barb fitting designed for flexible lines. Also wondering if the vent lines if flexible...

I notice that in my anchor locker the chain is rubbing against the bow fiberglass. I can see some wear, nothing terrible, but got me thinking. Any ideas for how to protect the fiberglass from the wear of launching and retrieving the chain. Thanks,

I just put new wiper blades on my 53 MY. Is there a way to make the arms put more pressure on the blades? I tightened the screw that attaches the blade to the arm, but it still is very light pressure and part of the blade won't wipe. Thanks,

Can someone tell me which is the house battery on a 53MY? Port or Starboard? No way to easily tell from what I can see. Thanks,

I am thinking installing two of these to replace the old voltmeters. Wondering if anyone has done the same already? Not cheap, but I don't mind because I want the accuracy and multifunctionality. Blue Sea 1838 M2 Ac Multimeter - Marine Electrical Part (hodgesmarine.com)

I am looking to get air conditioning to my enclosed back deck area. Right now I have air in the salon with the blower on the rear starboard side of the salon. It pulls air from the back deck area to feed the salon. Trying to figure out the easiest way to get cold air to that back section...

On my 53MY the helm seat is also a TV stand on the back side. I am not at the boat, but wondering where power and wires enter? Obviously from below. Is it in one of the engine rooms?

Does anyone know this brand of cradle and if they still make it?

My rear enclosure windows are showing signs of age. The large middle one has a crack that was repaired. Has anyone replaced these wood windows? Or refinished them? Its more of a cosmetic issue at this point.

Has anyone replaced their oil pressure gauges on 8V71s? I have two new gauges and a dual station sending unit. I am having trouble reaching the sender and getting a wrench on it. I cannot determine the wrench size. Also the original sender has a ground and positive while the new sender...
