There are also transformer boxes and fuses behind the wall in the closet in the master stateroom.

I have 23 Navionics chart chips for sale. Each of these charts worked in my Northstar 952 GPS/Chartplotter. I have listed below the chart number and area in the chart. They are being sold for $30 each. I will pay for shipping. If interested, please email at john.rivkin@rivkin.com. Chart Area...

I am selling my other boat. It came with a Northstar 952 as a spare. It was still packed in the packing used by Northstar to service it. It looks brand new as if it has never seen any weather at all. It does need a software update to work properly. It is the head unit only, no antenna or wires...

Almost New 50’ 50 amp 240V Shore Power Cord I will be selling my other boat. I just removed my spare 50 amp shore power cord. Since I have dual Glendinnings, I only had occasion to use it once. The ends are in perfect condition. Before I put it on Ebay, I thought I would find out if anyone here...

I had a new pilot installed. Now, I am getting interference on my VHF even when the pilot pump itself is not running. I am going to run a shielded power cable from the VHF directly to the battery to try to eliminate the interference. In the past, I have tried ferrite beads, chokes and noise...

I will be acquiring a second home with a small floating dock. The dock will only be 20’ long suitable for a small (think 22’ boat). As of now, the dock is made of wood and has no rub rail or other protection on it. Rather than add traditional white vinyl or rubber stripping to the edge of the...

Here is a picture (I hope) inside the box showing the AC input from the bottom and the two DC outputs from the top. The switches (not pictured) are on the left side of the box. Hope this helps figure out what it is. All ideas welcomed.

I have a 14” X 18” closed electrical box wall mounted next to my battery charger in my ER on my other boat (56 Ocean). It has three switches on the outside labeled hi/low, on/off and hi/low respectively. I opened the box and found two transformers and a few relays. It has one 110v lead going in...

I have these controls on my 56SS. I had a failure of the controls. Very scary since the boat was in gear. I have mechanical backups in the cockpit but not on the bridge. Has anyone ever seen the need to install mechanical backups on the bridge, where most of the running and docking occurs? Also...

On my other boat (56 Ocean), I am thinking of adding a linear actuator to make the sliding salon door electric. I will have to remove the strikeplate so that the hook on the door does not grab the strikeplate when closed. But, here is the question. I need some sort of manual release both from...

Hey Tony, I am guessing that was yours that was on the show. How about a spoiler alert. Did the couple on the show buy the boat? All they talked about was how many friends they could get aboard for a party. Seemed clueless about boating. I know you have sold it.

Okay. Here is the deal. I have this unit as a spare on my 74. The boat is up for sale. The unit is in good shape except it needs the on/off repair fix we have mentioned here before.The guy from the Outer Banks will repair it for $250. Since it is a spare and the boat is being sold, I have no...

I have just listed the Nancy J, my 1996 74 CMY. Too little time to get from New York to Florida to continue to enjoy her. https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1996/hatteras-cockpit-motoryacht-3540464/

Okay - so this is on the other boat but I look to the experts here for some help.When using the air conditioning in the master with the door closed on a hot day, there is so much moisture/humidity in the room that water actually forms on the mirrors and hard surfaces. Has anybody experienced...

Does anyone have a source for rubber fender boards? I know I can buy rubber ends for a 2x4 but I used to be able buy a totally rubberized fender board.
