Search FP for Mobella Talon. You will need to measure the door thickness to get the correct model. (mine was 22.5-27mm, MOBELLA-TALONMM-01-11X-X0) Removing & replacing is a very easy DIY. Once I had the new lock installed, I ordered some spare keys via Amazon.

We just closed on a 2001 52' Prima Seahorse. It's a 17 knot trawler with the same cummins engines that are found in the 40' Sea Rays of the same era. Three staterooms, two dry heads + 1 day head, high-gunnel's for easy & safe access to the bow and a hoist for a dingy, large engine room and...

After much thought, we’ll be putting our well-loved 400 on the market in the next couple of weeks. We enjoyed the boat, but it’s time for something bigger. Located in Clear Lake, Texas if you know anyone who’s looking for a good one.

I purchased a new 50A shore power cord this spring and it's a bear to twist onto the pedestal connection. Can anyone recommend any dielectric grease that would help with the tight connection? Possibly this? https://www.amazon.com/Camco-55013-PowerGrip-Electrical-Protectant/dp/B0024E71JI

My marina sent this out to several docks yesterday. Can anyone explain how an issue on a boat could cause reverse polarity in the marina? WD-40 on electrical connections? Thank you! Good Afternoon, The Harbormasters asked me to send you an email regarding the recent reverse polarity...

Two areas to consider depending upon the height of your new flooring: The first is how will if change the total height of the steps if you put the new flooring under the steps. At worst, you need to trim down the height of the steps. (On a related note, if you pull the carpet off the steps...

We went with the next size smaller Panasonic that is 950W at full power. With the new inverter technology, it draws less amps when it is not set to cook at full power. Plenty big and powerful enough for anything we are warming up on the boat. Tigger, thanks again for your how-to guide. I...

Our old Sharp convection/microwave oven (Model R-820BK) seems to have gone dead. Any idea what a good replacement unit is? The R-820 was a 900 Watt, 13 Amp unit. Most of the potential replacements that I have found run 1000 Watts or more and draw 14+ amps. Is a higher power unit likely to...

Thank you for the response Crime Scene, the only item that really surprised me is that the 400 has more storage room. In looking at the 480 market, it seems that there is generally a bit of an asking-price jump between the CAT and Cummins powered 480's that are of the same model year or just a...

We are considering moving up to a 480 Sedan Bridge from our current 400. Has anyone here made similar jumps? Any thoughts or advice is welcome. Thank you!
