Don't think they can anything too big yet... https://twitter.com/i/status/1188153318327177218

Since we bought the boat, one of the head pups was erratic. 10 flushes fine, 11th nothing. The stop gap was to turn the shaft slightly with a needle nose. I have been slowly but surely replacing all discharge hoses and rebuillding the pumps for a while and the balky one was the last one to be...

Looking for any help in clearing an AC through hull from inside the boat. My diver is trying to get here today but I'm not sure he will get here until tomorrow. The flow is about 20% of what it should be and my pump is laboring as a result. On our boat, the strainer is horizontally mounted...

Another of my long line of potentially dumb questions: Is there a tool or trick to inserting the split barrels in the strainer cover swing arms? I got so frustrated, I put a bronze cotter pin in just to close one back up.

So I am pulling a fire extinguisher cabinet to gain access to the back of one of my heads and see 25 lead pigs strapped in the area. Was this common or more likely something a PO did? As I have developed a slight list and can find no water accumulating anywhere, is there any reason not to add...

So I am having an issue with the outfit that installed my Salon Air handler. Gave me a quote, took 3 1/2 months to do the job then gave me an invoice for 2 1/2 times the quote. I gave him a progress payment (well before he took the undue time to finish) and now want to settle and be done with...

Having next to zero plumbing knowledge, is it bad practice to place a check valve on my water pump outlet? Background: Checking my potable water pump and the Quest pipe compression fitting blew. In fixing, bought the wrong size nipple for an elbow and can't tie it back into the PEX. Found...

I have an M7 that is begining to tick me off royally. Started about 6 months ago getting an error message: 771 -Signal loss on Satellite 1. Press SELECT for solutions. Depending on the channel on on, it may readSatellite 2. Picture and sound remain on but the box covers about 20% of the...

I've uploaded pictures before but having problems now. Resized them to less than 50 kB and get an error message when trying to upload them. Anyone else having this issue? BTW Windows 10 with Google Chrome. Also tried Edge, IE and Firefox with no luck...

Literally had a shitty day yesterday. A vented loop failled on the discharge side of one of my heads. All cleaned up but one of the worst events I've experienced aboard... Amazing how far this could splatter... Sam's had the loops I need (white plastic) and I'll hopefully get them today (God...

Could have used this a few days ago when cutting down some threaded rod: http://altdriver.com/story/the-tool-that-fixes-damaged-bolt-threads/?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_content=583541f904d301322130ed1d&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook

It appears I may need to replace my salon air handler which is under the flybridge structure. The three OE panels on the inside are far too small to even pull the cover off the unit to diagnose the problems. I am looking for advice from anyone who has had a similar issue. I am thinkking I...

So I have a cooked 8D and have decided to replace all 4 (start & house banks) with new wet cells. I can't justify the extra dollars for AGMs (maybe a good topic for debate elsewhere...). The question I have is if anyone has pros and cons for setting my charger (Victron Centaur 24/60) on AGM...

I thought it prudent to ask advice before I start tearing things apart... Had a GM pump rebuilt last December and while re-installing replaced the hose from the pump to the tank including a new vented loop. Of late, every third or fourth use, the bowl won't drain. A quick plunge gets it going...

Had to share this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb4ye88h1ZQ Now there is a legit reason to get one of these toys :cool:

So I'm running 2 AC units (my big ones: slaon & pilot house) and turn on the cooktop to make some pasta (have to get food into this) and power goes off. As I have had my pedastel pop once before at this location I reset that. No joy. Open my panel, flip everything off, wait a few minutes and...

Getting to be time for a bottom job and a charter captain I know has been talking about this with me. Anyone out there used it yet? My understanding is the cost is not much more than a premium bottom paint and it can be applied over existing paint. Durability is supposed to be superb and...

Over the last couple of weeks, we are begining to list to the starboard. No change in tanks or weight added. I am not seeing any excess bilge water. List is about 4 1/2 inches- not readily noticable but you can sure feel it! I am concerned we might have some below the water line damage from...

So I knew I need to replace the roller assemblies on my pilot house doors but cannot figure out how to get the doors out/off to do it. I spoke with Steve and he told me the doors were changed right around the time our boat was built and he doesn't know what I can do. Bruce Morrison is MIA (I...

Just changed out the hose from the rear master in our 54 yesterday. Used about 43' Trident green stripe for runs from GM pump to siphon break and siphon break to the T by the tank. Did a couple things I think helped a lot: pulled both ways from the engine room, i.e. back to the siphon break...
