I finally pursued the Systems Monitor - INOP situation on our boat. It turns out that these things don't work if you remove the fuse... I installed the fuse and at first nothing happened - which I thought was a good thing. Then, after a few minutes, sitting with a cocktail in my hand, the...

I have a broken cable between the port Detroit 8-72TI and the Glendinning synchronizer unit which is in the starboard engine room. I have read on various threads on the forum that a lot of the cables discussed have square ends, but the ends on the cable I need are round with a key and the end...

SOLD...1984 53' Extended Deckhouse For Sale, San Francisco, CA SOLD---SOLD---SOLD We have owned and lived on this boat for only a year and a half, but we are loving it! Work and family considerations are causing us to move. There are photos of the boat in the gallery and more photos would be...

Not long ago we had trouble pumping out our holding tank and investigated the dip tube which seems to still be in functional shape. As we had just changed pump out services, I assumed the problem was with the new service. A few weeks have passed and the pump out fellow usually has some...

Ref: Summit Brand Refrigerator, Model HS2961 (This is a unit with NO freezer.) (The new equivalent model is FFAR10, the company is now called the AccuCold Division of Felix Storch) The compressor is an Embraco EMU 45HSC When we bought the boat a little over a year ago the...

When we purchased our boat there was a good amount of water in all the bilges. The previous owners didn't worry themselves about it and the bilge pumps functioned as they should when the water levels got high enough. But since we were new to boating I found this forum and, along with a lot of...

When we purchased our boat about a year ago, it came with a Heart Interface Model HF32-3000X. Nothing was connected to it and it was turned off. Because there are no 110v outlets in the generator space where I wanted to run a small (.65 amp) dehumidifier, I figured that I would try the...

We are having some charging issues and I found a Bussmann ANL-50 fuse that appears to have blown. It is the fuse that is in the Guest electrical box in the starboard engine room. It is labeled, "Battery Charger 50A" When I check for potential across it with the battery charger set to "Low" I...

The canvas that covers the entire upper level of our boat (53' Extended Deckhouse model) needs to be waterproofed. We were advised to use 303 Marine Fabric Guard. Since I am trying to do this myself and there are some challenges to cleaning and treating the canvas in place, I was going to...

(NOTICE...I have found and installed one as of 10-1-19. No longer looking, thanks!) I am looking to purchase a functional (new or good used condition) Honeywell T6052 B thermostat to replace the one originally installed by Hatteras. If you replaced your old system with the new digital controls...

Cruisair heat pump control system problem…I think 1984 53’ Extended Deckhouse Using the old mechanical Honeywell T6052B thermostats. Previous owner modified the boat pretty extensively and in the process removed the thermostat that I BELIEVE would have been in the galley. The galley and the...

Almost every time I use the forum I have to log back in one or more times as I move between threads or look at something in the gallery. Is there something I am doing that is causing this? Is it just me? Thanks! I am new to boating and new to living on a boat and this forum has helped me a...

Our boat has 2 Datamarine 3030 Remote displays (one on the flybridge and one in the master stateroom). The digital display inside the instrument in the master still works, but it has come loose within the unit and is sitting there at an angle. (See photo) I would like to remove the unit and...

(I originally posted this a couple hours ago in the "For Sale" section not realizing that I had not returned to the "Tech Talk" section where I intended to post it.) Our 1984 53' ED has a leak between the plexiglass and the frame of the hatch over the v-berth. I have gotten two very different...

Our 1984 53' ED has a leak between the plexiglass and the frame and needs to be resealed. I have gotten two very different opinions already from knowledgeable friends about how to proceed. One said to use silicone - allowing a small continuous bead to set up for the plexi to sit on, then one...

As we have a minor leak in the overhead, I am trying to remove the Perko stern light that may be the source of the incoming moisture. I can't find a drawing online that shows how this light is installed. I got the top off, the rear plate (exposing the wires) and removed three screws from the...

The Cruisair unit in our master stateroom works...but, when in heat mode it gets too warm and then too cold. (Have not had the opportunity to test the AC yet, it has been too cold!) I have been reading through a lot of the threads here on the forum that talk about these old Honeywell...

(I am new at this.) Need to figure out how to secure a new float switch in the bilge. Old switch died and when I went to remove it, the bracket came out with the switch. Now I need to find a way to secure the new switch so that it stays where it should be instead of floating around in what it...

New to Boating. New to Forum. 1984 53' Extended Deckhouse Using 2 Cruisair systems onboard for heat. They seem to work fine individually. Both operate the same seawater pump when their compressors are running. Everything seems to be fine unless we try to operate them at the same time. If we...
