I have a T-top kit I purchased in 2013 for my center console. I realized it was going to take significant modification to fit my center console and since then I got a bimini top that works fine for a shady spot on the boat to eat lunch. It is basically a bunch of aluminum tubes, fittings and a...

This is either going in the trash or the mail for the cost of shipping. Outside dimensions 19-1/2" x 4-1/2".

I discovered a fairly rapid oil leak from one of the oil hoses going between the oil filter housing and the block of about a drop per second or more while running on the starboard 671N. It appears to be coming from the fitting rather than the threads. I have two questions. Where would I get a...

Is there such a thing as a y valve for the sanitation system that has a built-in switch that I can use to shut off the Purasan system when I am directing waste into the holding tank?

I'm jealously eying all this potentially usable space. Would I be foolish to get rid of this system? It was last certified in 1995.

Does anyone have any feedback on NORMA non-perforated stainless steel hose clamps? 10 packs are sold quite reasonably on Amazon and I have quite a few clamps that could stand to be replaced.

An improvement I think.

I'm going down a rabbit hole with my electrical upgrade. I'm making space for a new battery charger and I'm replacing my large accumulator tank with a mini tank. "While I'm in there" I'm thinking of making more space for a second charger by replacing the hot water heater with either a 6.4...

I have heard from a number of people that the 47 year old copper fuel and water lines are brittle and can not be flared. I would like to clean up the generator fuel supply and return lines which would require mating them to rubber lines. What is the best way to do this? Can I slide a rubber...

I've found that it's very helpful to have small, easy to finish little projects going at the same time as the bigger, more frustrating projects. It's satisfying to get at least something finished no matter how small it is. I have the door off for new hardware and refinishing.

I'm a little nervous coming out electrically here, so to speak, so go easy on me. I am planning a modest upgrade to our battery and charging system. I have attached a diagram that shows approximately where things are and will be located in the engine room of our 43DC. The inverter set up is...

I ordered four Crown 6CRV220 AGM GC2 batteries from Battery Warehouse in Frederick, MD. These batteries are made by Crown in their Fremont, Ohio plant and I settled on Battery Warehouse because they are a Crown dealer and I didn't have to pay additional freight. I went up today to pick up...

Before we set out to move our boat in October, we discovered that the large dock box on the bow, that many seem to have, was not attached to anything. We moved it to the side and lashed it down, but it appears that it has been that way for decades. Are most of them bolted through the deck? I...

Centek Vernalift muffler. I'm replacing the exhaust hoses. Do I just replace the muffler too while I'm there because it's 18 years old, or do they never go bad?

We are leaving in the morning for Little River, SC to finally bring our boat home to Colonial Beach, VA, shoving off Sunday. It's been a long time coming and we've had (and needed) much more work done to the boat than we anticipated. We've got a reservation at Seapath Yacht Club in...

I've installed a Purasan EX waste treatment system on our 43DC. It appears the fill time and resulting water level of the tablet dispenser is dependent on the water pressure, so I have to reset it differently for dock water and for water from the water tank. Further, the water pump kicks on at...

I am thinking of installing an Aquaphor RO-101 water filter under the sink of our 43DC for drinking water and cooking. Any experience with this unit or a better suggestion? I can make this fit. The replacement filters are a bit expensive. https://aquaphor.com/en-us/reverse-osmosis/ro-101

I just purchased a Rocna 33 anchor for my 43DC. It in no way shape or form fits what I currently have on the front of my boat which is a bow pulpit that the PO just installed with a toy bow roller. This is what he replaced. This is what I need to accommodate. Any ideas? I could go to...

Raritan says not to install where ambient temperatures get over 120*. That rules out the engine compartment in my 43DC and makes it very challenging to find a place for the unit. It seems that the issue is the life of the unit itself and not the effectiveness of the treatment. Jumping through...

Items complete or well underway so far: Installed new Raritan Elegance toilet in aft head Relocated starboard Racor and trim pump to accommodate new waste lines Installed new Raritan PolyFlex waste hoses and pump out hoses Installed new waste tank vent line Installed new holding tank dip tube...
