After a closer look it appears that this style of strainer was used after the thru hull R&R. We are going to switch it over to a scoop style for the AC pumps. I don't think these were a good choice!

I have been troubleshooting our march AC pump running dry for some time. On one of the older threads someone recommended scuppers/ scoops to pickup water when running. We just pulled the Caprice out of the water and neither of the inlet through hulls have a scupper or a scoop. As far as we know...

In our Salon we have a 220 volt two speed air handler / fan with a Honeywell thermostat. This unit is the next on my list to upgrade to an FX control system. How have you all converted this type of system to a FX control unit? Is there a way short of replacing the air handler fan that can...

Hey folks, I am planning an autopilot upgrade and am hoping that one of you knows the size of the steering cylinder size that shipped with a 61 MY. I have looked through the Hatteras docs as well as looked at the cylinder itself and have not been able to find any specifics. It looks like the...

Yep. Sorry I wasn't clear. I am speaking of the standard MD-AC-5C pump. This is basically what I have seen happen when one run's dry....

If your going to make one...post some pics. Last time I went down this path it got interesting!

I have a year old EMU-1 For Sale. Works great, just doesn't work with the sending units I have. http://www.actisense.com/product/emu-1/ I paid around $500 for it. Looking to get $375. PM me for details.

I am having a strange issue with my forward shower sump that I am a bit baffled by! The sump has a standard rule 2000 32v pump and rule "super" float switch. Over the last season the sump has seemed to get stuck on even when the float is down. Last fall I replaced the pump which likely was...

Anyone have a source for 32v squirrel cage blower fans? Just lost one!

Has anyone tried these: http://www.led-cfl-lighthouse.com/page/428093642 I'm tempted!

Has anyone upgraded to the P1500BXT from the AC-5C-MD? The P1500BXT looks a lot more hefty with a brass housing. I am very curious if it has more resilience to running dry compared to the crappy AC-5C-MD which it seems that most of us have fairly regular problems with. Here is a link to the...

Using the Hatteras AC schematics, the FX1 manuals (that were on the internet) and the schematics that were behind the cover of the compressor assembly I was able to get one working fairly easily in a couple hours. The control panel fit nicely in the same place that the Honeywell three wire...

One of our Hubbell 50Amp shore power receptacles needed some maintenance recently and when I pulled the exterior electrical panel apart I noticed something that I wanted to understand more about. Basically both 50 amp receptacles in each exterior panel on both sides of the boat have two hot...

I have been troubleshooting air bubbles in the Racor/ Flowscan inaccurate readings / low idle / low fuel pressure. In my case it was the lines to/from the Racor assembly creating a vaccum leak. Old fuel lines have consistently been a problem on our boat and might be worth taking a close look at.

When I mentioned that it was hard to get the old cans off....here is a picture that illustrates the rough idea of what I was talking about. :)

I used Rigid industry lights. The price was right @ 0$. :) I think retail they were in the 2500$ range. I used two small ones in the center and two larger ones on the sides. Seems to have worked out good. I have been really impressed with the latest generation of color changing LED's but the...

Does anyone have any words of wisdom about the easiest way to convert to FX1 control boxes from the three knobbers? I picked up a few from Pascal and I was sort of curious about the best way to do the install. A couple key questions come to mind: Is it possible to mount the control box close to...

Does anyone have a source for 32V LED bulbs for the BA9S indicator panel lights? I have been using these: http://www.bulbtown.com/1828_MINIATURE_BULB_BA9S_BASE_p/1828 miniature bulb ba9s base.htm However, they are only 3000 hour bulbs which need to be replaced frequently!

Just a head up all: I recently ordered a High tide 50A 50' power cord from Cord master LLC. After the order the website went down, the number was out of service and emails were not returned. I finally got an email stating the following: Mr. XXXXXX I am sorry I had no idea these things even...

I have a potential source for a KVH M7 satellite dish here locally. I have heard some negative things about the M7 and satellite switching and have heard that a lot of folks have switched the the HD7. Does anyone have any experiences good or bad they can share with this dish?
