I have a couple of brass or bronze quick disconnect couplings for freshwater and seawater that need to be rebuilt. The ball bearings are rusty and the o’rings are just about flat. Does anyone know of an online source for these? Sam’s? Grainier? FWIW the bearings seem to be a few thousands...

Is there an easily installed replacement for the GalleyMaid windlass? We had ours rebuilt two years ago and it’s making funny noises again. I had the bearing that allows some powering down installed, but we have been using it a lot. I had the gypsy rechromed and I think they got it too thick...

It’s also located in Effing, South Carolina......

We have white wallpaper in the hall between our engine rooms that looks like bead board and we are considering how to spruce it up. The is no peeling, but it has a few scratches and gouges and is getting discolored. I was thinking of filling the damage and painting it. Has anyone done this, or...

Spreading the attachment pieces to remove the old filter element. The filter assembly with the filter element removed. The completed filter after installation. The new filter material was installed using the large screwdriver to spread the clamping rails and a putty knife/scraper to push...

I have my first set of Rolls batteries installed in my 32v house bank and I have a question about servicing the water level. On the starboard side with 8v/195’s I use a water bottle that has a device that stops adding water when the level reaches the correct place. However the Rolls batteries...

I noticed the other day that there was negative air pressure in my engine rooms: the door felt like it was a tiny bit sticky when I opened it. The previous owner had built and installed an assembly to hold blue HVAC roll filter material to screen the top and side of the air inlet in the hull. We...

Last summer I bought a Victron inverter through Scott for installation by a boatyard in MD, it worked great up until a couple of weeks ago when it inexplicably died. We were in Long Island Sound, hundreds of miles from Scott’s base in Florida, despite this we gave him a call and he was able to...

“Restore” engine oil treatment I’m sure to be flamed for this, but I wanted to share my experience with Restore oil treatment in my generators and main engines. When I purchased my boat I was having to add oil to my Northern Lights 12kw genset after every time I used it. In fact, it even...

This is our first trip to the northeast and with hurricane season upon us I was wondering if the forum had suggestions on good places to shelter if a named storm gets this far north. We are currently on Long Island Sound for a few more days and then will be heading up to Rhode Island then on...

Our Sea Recovery watermaker went black on the way up to Sandy Hook and we need a tech to fix it for us. We had hoped to be independent of shore as much as possible this summer as we made our first trip to New England and having a working watermaker is essential. We are now in Oyster Bay and...

So why did he take a baseball bat camping? I’m sure he had a pistol for protection.

The plexiglass is to protect them from you. You are exposed to one cashier on each trip to the market. They are exposed to hundreds of customers from who knows where every day. Getting covid19 should not be part of the job description for a near minimum wage cashier gig! And of course, if the...

We are anchored off Cumberland Island and the day before yesterday when we arrived the stb engine began to run a little warm the last hour before we got here. The helm gauge indicated a bit above 150 at 1050rpm and the gauge in the engine room was at 170. At the time the port engine was at 160...

Marquipt does not use a sleeve type system for rotation. There is a greased phenolic ring that sits on top of the standpipe that allows for rotation. The standpipe should be a one piece non-welded extruded pipe with very thick walls. If you want I can send you the exact dimensions of the...

http://www.tribune242.com/news/2020/may/25/american-held-over-green-turtle-cay-shooting/ I thought that you couldn’t enter Bahamian waters: exit only these days. This article has the vessel in question arriving as well a two from Key West. Have the rules changed recently?

This was going around in 1991 when I was at McDonnell-Douglas, just the heading has been changed.
