Went aboard this past weekend at our Hilton Head Island boat show and was blown away. Normally docked at nearby Wexford plantation. ( Since last posting I have moved to Windmill Harbour on HHI...very cool to live in a house in a marina ! )...

Can't get them from Naiad anymore... email procyon@hargray.com

My Cruisair is probably 1993 vintage R22 refrigerant, 220 volts, 12K BTU using SMX I digital control. So I ordered the Ocean Breeze equivalent (also good for R22), picked it up in Stuart on the way to the Palm Beach show on Friday. Get it on the boat and after cutting off the stretch wrap and...

Thought you might need some help in that regard. https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/what_is_ignorelist

but yet the bearings seems good such that the squirrel cage will turn and start easily with a little help (pushing it with pinkie) would putting in a new run capacitor likely cure the problem ? I was told by one tech that sometimes the blower motors, even with the slightest wear in the shaft...

Now that even lower coastal SC is getting a little chilly, I start thinking about leaving my engine heaters on. These are Kim Hotspot model CB tank type, one for each Detroit 12v71TA. When I first bought the boat in April, I could turn on the appropriate circuit breaker, two relays on the wall...

As it turns out Pompanette will sell the pedestal tubing separate. The tubing is held to the base via press fit and swaging at the bottom, which is easily punched thru with a hydraulic press. I used a 75 ton press, but it only took 10 tons of force to push the tube out of the base...

I have three that are perfectly functional but so scratched up that I'd like to replace the round tubular posts at the least. But it seems you have to buy a new base and post together. Seeing as the Pompanette versions of these are a bit expensive*...wondering.. 1. What holds the post to the...

One of four toilets...about every 45 minutes the Vacuflush pump will come on for maybe 4 seconds...presumably to build vacuum accumulator tank back to set pressure. No big deal except the pump is loud enough to possibly wake a light sleeper in the forward port stateroom. Have yet to...

I should know this but damned if I can remember since our last trip...plus we never went WOT. I ask as I need to order a new gauge and the current ones that have a range to 150 psi seems ridiculous. Range to 100 would be an improvement but thinking even less range than that might be more...

By mechanical I mean, reading is taken directly from oil flow to the gauge. What I have in the engine room is Murphy 20P-150. One of them has failed. Tried cleaning it internally with carb cleaner...helped for awhile but now back to reading 5 lbs (when pressure really is 35+ lbs) When I did...

In my case 2006 Avon Seasport 360 where previous owner used one part adhesive to do so. Now in my tenure the rub rail is coming off, with the one part adhesive leaving lots of sticky flexible residue. How best to remove the old residue and start over with proper two part adhesive ? I've...

what is yours set at ? I have Murphy A20P-150 oil pressure gauges, the direct mechanical one in the engine room failed recently, need to replace it, and wondering what to set the engine shutdown trip at for oil pressure for 12v71TA...

(boatsb is going to love this... ) Recently my port 12v71TA starter would not start. Below is why. Cable is 4/0 welding wire with the usual black SO type rubber jacket but also encased in heavy PVC like flexible conduit (the red cover you see) Notice there are no cracks or corrosion...

The penny is placed on there for size reference.

In my case need to test Deka 1231MF with 1000 CCA rating... a dozen of them... all flooded wet type but "no maintenance" so can't check specific gravity. Would a 500 amp load tester like below give thumbs up or down definitive results within a minute or two ? Or should I consider a larger...

By huge I mean the diameter of a can of tomatoes but taller... one for each engine in the white box dead center in photo, below the two blue/green battery chargers...to left of yellow extension cord. they both look like new including terminal (no corrosion)...at least the parts I can see from...

Went to Lowes yesterday and created the below for about 12 bucks including the nozzle. Worked great to clear a clog deep in the system. (in this case apparently at the manifold in the engine room where three or four systems joined together...I say this because to my surprise the other long...

2011 Raymarine E120 wide MFD (multi function display) software V2.49, works fine for everything else (GPS, depth, video cameras, autopilot, Sirius weather) but the radar has gradually crapped out ...and now is totally kaput. * Radar is 2011 Raymarine RA1072SHD 72" Super HD digital open array...

That model has no "lens" in front of the halogen lamp such that water could get in the housing around the edges of the rectangular lamp. There is a drain hole at the lowest point in the cover, but I still wonder if there are issues with the water prematurely rusting the horizontal and vertical...
