I have an issue with an outboard motor that requires fuel pressure sensing while running at maximum speed by myself. This Yahama motor (F225C) does not have a fuel pressure sensor so my YDS 1.33 software cannot help me here. I seem to remember someone here talking about remote AC pressure...

I have a pair of VG2 vacuum generators on my boat. Both have been untouched for 17 years since new and one of the systems is starting to leak vacuum. The VG2 has a pair of duckbills on either side of the vacuum generator pump. How do you guys back out the male coupler with solid threads on the...

Does anybody have the latest on the service termination with Direct TV for our old round, single LNB Sat systems that only get SD programming. Can these domes be retrofitted and or can they be used for Dish perhaps. If so I presume that we also need a new sat box like an HD25 or something. Can...

This is one of my cockpit sole fish boxes. The two end lids are screwed into the stationary center section using piano hinges. The hinge screws are all pulling out of the center section. I started drilling out the holes ready to do the allen wrench and drill clean out followed by injecting...

I have a pair of aluminum grab rails (3/4" or 1" round stock) on the sides of the upper flybridge skirt that look like they were painted and are getting pitted and the paint is chipping off. How would you prepare them (media blast, grinding, etc) and what would you finish them with (powder...

Any advice on who to use for fuel injector service once I remove them from my MAN mechanical 8's? Thanks, George

I have a 47 Cabo with two fishboxes in the cockpit sole. Each box has two lids on each end of the box that hinge towards the middle of the box. In the center in a fixed fiberglass pad with non skid to match the sole and each lid's piano hinge screws fasten into the edge of this fixed pad. The...

The lid hinge screws for the cockpit fish boxes on my 47 Cabo are all stripping at the stationary end and the lids are getting loose. The lid hinges screw into a stationary section between the lids. Does anyone know what the screws bight into inside the core of those stationary pads and how do...

"Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most" I cannot for the life of me remember how to change the bulbs in these overhead cockpit soffit light on my 47 Cabo. Please help. I thought that you just pull them down and the springy clips above unfold and let them drop down but I am...

I had replaced my original Australian made shaft seal system in my 2002 Cabo because is was always dripping and slinging a messy goop in a circle around the engine room. I chose the Tides Marine Sure Seal system which almost never drips any water or leaks. The problem is that the system froze to...

I have a Tides Marine dripless bearing assembly that is frozen to the shaft. Apparently, there is only a few thousandths clearance between the shaft OD and the ID of the body of the seal assembly body that can get cemented together from marine growth or mineral deposits (or "swelling" as...

Both of my 2002 Cruisair FX16C (R22) condensers have seized compressors and need to be rebuilt. I already have the replacement compressors and need to decide what else to replace while I am at it. I am EPA certified and have all the equipment but this is my first marine compressor failure. A few...

I am in the process of replacing the compressors in both Cruisair condensing units on my Cabo 47. Removal of the ice maker facilitated removal of the upper (salon) unit but the lower (fwd cabin) unit is essentially trapped in the welded bracket. Has anyone had to deal with getting this unit out...

I have a 14 year old Cruisair FX16c condensing unit that is shutting down intermittently with a high pressure fault. I have monitored the high side pressure with gauges and confirmed normal operating pressures during these events. My assumption is that the high side sensor needs to be replaced...
