Cleaning out some stuff, found a new looking spare Jabsco pump for my old 1978 MDJF Onan genset. Anybody need one? Capt Ned 305-799-6080

Greetings all, When I turn on my 12 vdc overhead light in the head, it takes about 3 seconds before it comes on.. :confused: Any Ideas? Seems to be taking longer each time. This is in my spare head that I don't go in very often. The light fixture is the typical round perko style. Oh, and...

Greetings all, I'm looking to replace my salon door with one with more glass in it. I have some water leaks in this door and I would like to get one made. I have thought of having this one cut down and having glass installed but I'm worried that I might just dig myself a deeper hole. Or...

Hello all, I tried to search past threads on this to no avail. Here goes - When I'm running the boat and shes all warmed up, I slow down and put the gears in neutral. When I go down to the cockpit, I hear this really HIGH pitched whine/ whistle and it comes and goes as we are bobbing around...

Greetings all, I'm pulling my starboard engines t-stats at the moment. I've been overheating some on that side this winter and I know that summer water temps will make the engine even hotter. I have never changed them so I was wondering, being in South Florida, should I install lower...

As long as I'm under here, what can I do about this? Does anybody else have a rat nest like this or am I the winner? :( Captned 78 46 Conv

Does anyone have a dedicated battery at the helm for your electronics? I am thinking of installing one with a small charger for two reasons. One - safety in case my lower batterys get covered in water, I can still work the VHF and two - I get a lot of interference in my stereo, on the fishfinder...

Hynautic hydraulic engine controls? I have cables now but I have recently driven several boats with the hydraulic systems. What a difference. I have had the pleasure in the last two years to have a cable snap leaving my starboard engine in reverse (about twenty seconds to figure that out -...

Greetings all, I'm looking to replace my last two 8d's I have on board with batteries that will fit in the 2-8d boxes I have now. I have 8 other golf cart batteries for the house bank and to start my starboard engine. The 2 - 8d's I need to replace are dedicated port engine start batteries...

Hello all, I just changed oil and oil filters for the mains and the transmissions.(Allisons) When I was refilling the starboard tranny, I accidently put in 5 quarts of 30 wt. Didn't look closely at the bottles when I bought them. :mad: I had two quarts of 40 wt in the tranny already and 1...

Good day everyone. My hot water tank isn't getting up to the temp it used to. I plan on changing the element out tommorrow. This one is about two years old. However, it seems that the water pressure on the in hose side is really making the hose bulge and when I turn on my hot water, it seems...

Greetings all, I'm a livaboard and I installed Hypo air filters a few years back. Highly reccomend them. However, I have to clean the master cabin filter (where I sleep) once a week! My question is what the hell is this stuff? None of the other filters get nearly as dirty. They could go a...

Yawn.... :) Captned Miami Beach 78 46' SF

I built this desk out of the old bar on the port side of my salon. Keyboard and chair slide in, printer is at my feet and hard drive is located bottom right. I moved the ice maker (The most valuable appliance on the vessel!) to a starboard side custom built end table that matched the one on the...

My dock is made of concrete and over the last couple of years has accumulated a lot of paint marks, rusted spots, spills, etc. and is looking pretty bad. Any suggestions on how to clean it up? I tried scrubbing with a SS brush and much to my surpise...Nothing! Thanks all.... Captned

I just called my dockmaster to ask about the mistake on my monthly bill. It was $500 more than last month. He informed me that my yearly contract was up and that figure is my new amount. (if I take another year lease) Take it or leave... Up 33%. :eek: Captned 46' SF Hey Pascal, got a slip...

Greetings all. Of all the things I've lost, its my mind I miss the most. Second is the 9 1/2" by 9 1/2" metal ac grill / vent from my forward stateroom. How did I lose it? I don't know... Does anyone have an old or spare one? I checked with SAMS and they don't have them. The Home depots...

My windlass system uses a 12 vdc / 4-d dedicated battery and charger at the moment. I would like to add a battey cable back up running off my port engines battery bank. I would run it to a switch so if my dedicated 4-d battery fails I could still operate my windlass. I'ts a run of about...

I would like to install some type of high temperature alarm / thermocouple for my 8v71 TI exhaust system. I lost a hose a couple of weeks ago and didn't notice anything until my high water alarm went off. (Actually the hose was fine, the pipe had corroded and slipped out of the end of the hose)...
