I have 4 of these that have never been installed. Was to be part of a saloon refit that never happened and now I've sold the boat. These LED downlights deliver more light per watt of power than typical incandescent or halogen lights, last substantially longer, operate cooler and can be dimmed...

I have two of them that have been rebuilt. You would have to pay shipping from San Jose, California.

The holding tank full indicators were not functioning for either the forward or master heads/holding tanks so I want to replace them with stand alone gauges and associated new sending units. I discovered the tank for the master (in the v-berth bilge) is missing the sending unit altogether. PO...

I have a gift certificate that entitles the bearer to a haul-out and minor engine work (main engine(s)/transmission(s) oil changes at Delta Marine Services/J&H Marine located on the Stockton Deep Water channel in downtown Stockton, California. I was the high bidder for the gift certificate...

I understand that there is a way to wire the controls that when the compressor cycles on/off it will also control the water pump. Does anyone have the wiring diagram on how to do that?

I have the Rayline search light and it appears as if the relay has given up the ghost. Anyone have a part number and source to order a replacement? Searched Sam's parts and didn't seen anything applicable. Tim

Wanted to see if anyone has converted their 8v71-TI canister oil filters to remotely mounted spin ons? If so, do you have the part numbers and source of the items needed to make the conversion? Thanks.

Hi, I have the uneviable job of having to replace the stator on the discharge side of the head. Need to know the steps if someone has documented them or if someone can point me to the steps. Got the housing loose but it's not clear how to get the macerator blade off, etc. Thanks.

Somehow I got onto an email distribution list for Diesel Parts Direct. I received an email this morning announcing they have a great deal of overstock product. Thought I'd post it for anyone interested now or possibly in the future. Their actual website link is...

I posted a thread yesterday asking some questions on the 12 point monitor system. Come to find out, my boat, an early 1978 53' YF, was equipped with a 4 point monitor. They apparently changed to the 12 point version later in the production year. What confused me was the schematics that were...

Factory 12 Point Alarm system - Operational questions I am into the 2nd year of owning a 1978, 53' YFman. The PO hadn't used the boat for 3 years prior to me purchasing it and many of the systems were non-functional. One of them being the factory alarm system. It, now has bubbled to the top...

The articulating arm for the port side wiper is broken (PO) where it attaches to the pivot inside the boat. I purchased all of the replacement parts from Sams and am about to tackle replacing the assembly. The picture attached shows what I'm up against. The "caulking" oozing out is almost...

The PO installed a set of (FloScan's) Dual Scan engine gauges both at the lower and upper helm. At the lower helm, they left the original engine temp gauges which were disconnected. I decided to replace the mechanical fuel senders for the forward and aft tank and installed newer electric...
