Second day working on VacuFlush system and still not working right. Tested pump with vacum gauge before putting back on and it would pump up to 11 # vacum. Put it back after cleaning all duck bills on suction side and now it will not shut off. Acting like it is not getting to the 10 lbs of...

Guys, I have a Magnetek Model # JF1H056N raw water pump which handles all three air units on my 42 LRC. It is starting to get hard to start. Today I tried it several times and it seems to be locked up. Gets hot but will not pump. Can these pumps motors be rebuilt or should I bite the bullet...

While in Vero Bch we noticed a lot of dinghy's had cables that they used to lock their dinghy's. They were black coated cables about 10 or 12feet long. Is this something I can buy at West Marine? I'm noticing in the cruising books, they say to lock your dinghy in several places we are...

Does anyone have a spare Rudder Angle Indicator. My Raratian has gotten a lot of condensation in it after about a year and is froze up. Company told me they are not water proof. My flybridge is not enclosed. Anyone know of the type I need to look for to be OK on the open flybridge? captbuddy

Guys, I just replaced the 1981 LaMarche charger. It would run but would not charge the batteries. If there is anyone interested in the charger for free plus shipping, just let me know. It is extremely heavy. It would have to go on a truck. Too heavy for UPS. Would bring it south when we...

Guys, Just wanted to give a plug for David at Depco. Several of you told me to send my pumps only to Depco for rebuilt. Just got off the phone with David and it seems that I have been getting screwed in the past with local guys and the pump not lasting very long before it started leaking...

Guys, I just ordered the 5000 60 amp charger to replace my 30 yr old LaMarche. Came back tothe boat after a Battery charger not working. Electrican said after trouble shooting, he would have to take out to see what was wrong and it would probably pay me to just buy a new one. He called me...

Guys, I know it's not a Hatt but hoping ya'll can help. While waiting on my new/used trim cylinders for my mercruiser outdrive I tried the up and down switch. They are seperate switches and are the monmetary type. The down switch will turn pump on but the up switch does nothing. Have 12V to...

I am getting ready to replace the house bank. Three 8 D's. Want to go with Deep Cycle. Having a Interstate guy tell me Interstate doesn't make 8 D's no more. Saying the 4 D is a better battery and litter. Understand them not weighing as much but can they be as strong as 8D's. Also have a...

Found out last night, no matter how far I turned the knob to hot, it continued to blow real cold air. Like it is stuck on the coldest setting. Normally would not complain about this but need to know how to fix it. Can it be something major or just the thermostat? captbuddy

I have a used 50 foot, 50 amp shore power cord. It came off a 25' Tiara cutty cabin that I acquired. It only needs a 30 amp. Asking $250. We are in Ft. McAllister Marina in Richmond Hill. I think it's to heavy to ship or it would have to go by truck. Anyone close by, I might be able to...
