Just curious if anyone knows if you could successfully build a 32V battery bank using 2-12V and 1-8V battery. Its getting harder to find 8V batteries and when I checked into replacing mine last year I could only find one 8V on the shelf. Luckily I discovered my issue was not the batteries but a...

Here is one with the numbers. Hope this helps. If you get just one it needs to be double the capacity of this as I have two and they barely hold the lid open.

I got two magnifying glasses and cant read the numbers on this thing.It measures 15-7/8" extended. I will try to look at the other one tomorrow and see if I can get a number off of it. It is definitely Atwood. I can see that much

Port Fourchon. The photo is not sideways but the camper is

Here is the comparison once again

I used the POR15 High Temp exhaust paint. It held up well for over a year and probably almost 200HR but it is starting to need another coat.

Without any use I discovered my starboard galley receptacles are now dead. They worked fine last time I used the boat. Confirmed no voltage at the plugs inside the boxes. Pulled out my wiring diagrams and I have all of them except the STBD 120V diagram. I even have it for a galley down model but...

Moved the boat from the marina today to the canal behind my house. On the 30 mile trip up here I turned her up to 18knots to cruise a while. Got a call from the salon that water was running out of the toilet in the master stateroom. It is a saltwater flush Galleymaid. It was steadily running...

Im with RAC. I have a 2" electric pump with plenty of hose. It came in handy when the Sea Tow boat almost sank at my dock. Once we put 7 people on the bow to raise the stern above the water level the pumps quickly got her afloat

The relief valve on my Hynautic Steering has started leaking inside the screw hole where it mounts. I cannot read the numbers on it but there are two options MSV 21 and MSV 19. The first is 950 psi rated and the latter 500 psi. Does anyone know if there is a way, other than the markings, to...

Since I have moved to FL I am in the process of registering my boat here as it is a requirement even if it is USCG documented. Same thing now applies in LA as well. So to do this I have to change my hailing port to FL which I am sure there is a cost involved. After that I have to register the...

I have had good luck so far with the manifold paint from POR. I have about 100 HR on it and its still there .

Wife called me from the marina wanting to know where the discharge hose was for the crash pump. I told her where and she said a boat was sinking. I asked was it ours and she said no. Line went dead. Drove there and this is what I found I finally convinced them that putting enough weight on...

So in the midst of the headliner project my deteriorating coaming pads just literally came apart at the seams. I suppose the thread rotted. I bought vinyl from Sailrite and decided to try this myself. As one thing leads to another, after I removed the pads, I had to paint the gunwale behind...

Just as Walt suspected the wood on the valences is stained teak. The wife over ruled me using it though as the rest of the teak has a shine from someone coating everything with varnish. The valence boards were not so shiny and would have needed varnishing. Since the fabric was already ordered we...

After pictures I will post the valences installed once we get that done

So my coaming pads are coming apart and I ordered new vinyl for them from Sailrite. While I was looking for the right vinyl the wife finds some fabric for the salon valences. Apparently she is not happy with the 1985 floral pattern which matched the stained ceilings perfectly. I took the...
