I am having an interface problem. It involves a Northstar 941X GPS, a Simrad AP21 autopilot, a Furuno fluxgate compass and a Furuno 1941 MK2 radar. After having spent many, many hours trying to solve this myself, including calls on the telephone to each of the manufacturers above, I am hoping it...

I am having a problem with the KVH satellite system I have. I believe it is a 4 series and was new in 2006. If the TV's are not used for let's say two weeks or more, the KVH system (which is always left on) looses its lock on the satellites. If I power cycle the KVH, it regains its lock. It is...

Looking for some ideas here. The hatch that is at the top of my pilothouse stairway to my bridge is very heavy (probably about 50 pounds) and is currently raised and lowered with the help of one, gas spring rated for 90 pounds. Even with this newly installed higher rated gas spring, the hatch is...

I have a Northstar 952X that is acting up. I am not terribly concerned because I am not relying on it as it is the third gps/chartplotter I have in my pilothouse. Nevertheless, I'd like it to work properly. Here is the issue. It has the typical Northstar AN 150 waas antenna. The problem is that...

I am looking to buy two, 24" personalized life rings. I prefer not to go to a place like Overtons to have it done. Also, I do not want to buy a separate letting kit but rather use a pre made name/hailing port. Any sources would be appreciated.

I have just had all 24V fresh water head intake solenoids replaced. After doing so, my aft head now continues to flush (pump runs and water comes in and goes out) until the emergency toggle shut down switch is flipped. Thereafter, when the toggle is flipped back on, the head pump times out...

We have a Magma gas grill on a rod holder stand on our cockpit. It is almost useless in any type of wind. If the flame does not go out in the wind, the wind enters from the openings and the grill doesn't get hot enough. Any suggestions on a small, gas grill suitable for either a rod holder mount...

Just looking for some advice. I have fueled twice at a particular marina. Each time time, separated by two years, I fueled up I took on diesel. Each time was with a separate boat. Each time, I took on way more fuel (according to their pump) than I was supposed to take in order to fill the...

Looks like my 1200 pound Marquipt low profile davit has developed a leak in the cylinder that permits the boom to raise and lower under load. While the cable is fine, the boom arm wants to return to parallel under load. The replacement cylinder from Marquipt is $1,450 before shipping and...

Three out of the four heads on board are fed by fresh water. We had a failure the other day which continues to underscore the need to never be connected to dockside water when not on the boat. The solenoid that is supposed to close to stop the fresh water (pressure side) feed to the head stuck...

Just took first leg of summer cruise. Four fuel tanks. Despite fuel manifold on port engine being in correct position, upon arrival, gauges show both engines drew from same fuel tank. Checked with Bruce. There is no cross over, other than the fuel manifolds, which would permit both engines to...

In the course of repairing a routine leak on the fresh water intake side of one of my heads, I learned that the fresh water intake lines for the heads are plumbed directly to dockside water as is the rest of the fresh water system on the boat. On the chance that someone might forget to turn off...

Does anyone know of an online source for a manual for the displays on my 1996, 12V92 TA's DDEC's? I have not been able to locate any source, let alone a source that would permit me to download the display manual.

I need to replace the pump in the forward shower sump. I know where it is but cannot really find a good way of reaching the pump to change it. Short of cutting a whole in the floor where my steps lift up to get to the back of the forward genset, is there some trick to get to the pump. Standing...

I have run into an issue on one of the heads on my 74 MY. The head is a galleymaid, raw water fed head with the Delta green button timed flush. The problem is that the head flushes normally and appears to refill normally. However, although the water refill appears to stop, a few hours later, the...

I have DDEC displays on my 12v92TA's. Unfortunately, I do not have a manual for them. Is there a way to scroll through past errors showing up on the display?

I am getting ready to do my first oil change on these engines. What is their oil capacity excluding the gallon or so for each of the four oil filters?

Just finished bringing my 74 North from Jupiter to Long Island. In case the numbers may be of help to someone else, here they are. 1119 nautical miles, 71 running hours, 4,995 gallons of fuel at an average (not weighted) of about 3.83 dollars per gallon. Day one was Jupiter to St. Augustine, day...

Anyone know George's telephone number on the Incentive. I need to speak with him about a part needed tonight.
