Guys, a neat trick for breaking loose plugs sealed with a copper washer is to hit the head of the plug with a hammer or something similar. Plug will then come right out. You don't normally need to hit it very hard either.

I take mine on/off by hand but with gloves on as the brass casting has sharp edges on it that will slice your hand. Rinse the basket out then reinstall. - Ed
Thanks for the replies. I plan on sucking out the old fluid with my oil change pump which will likely not remove all the old fluid. Is the full synthetic still compatible if there is approx a quart of the old left? I purchased the Valvoline stuff. Should be years before I have to do it again...
Was at Meijer today to buy new Trans fluid for my ZF Hurth trannys and they did not have enough of the Dexron III, so I purchased the Valvoline Full synthetic Dexron VI. Is this better and alright for my trannys that require Dexron III fluid.
Thanks!
I thought I had heard that core rot can begin at around 25%. Is this a myth? I had one small area in front of my port windshield that registered about 17% during the survey and the surveyor was "concerned" with that spot too. What gives??
Sorry, forgot to add that it also over-rides the systems monitoring on the genset (like oil pressure, etc.) to allow the generator to reach operating conditions.
Try Seaview Electronics in Clinton Township, Michigan. I found a like new tridata cover and a cover for my RL70C that is in very good shape there just a month or so ago. Talk to Gary, who is the owner. I too could not find them anywhere else. When you find some newer ones, make sure you keep...
Used them last year and was happy with the service; however I found better rates and better coverage with Charter Lakes out of the West side of Michigan and am im the process of transferring to one of their underwriters. Might be worth checking them too.
Enjoy your trip.

2. New cutlass bearings and engines aligned
3. Replaced main breaker switches in galley electrical panel due to burned out bulbs
4. Considering replacing cockpit cup holders with stainless...
No problem Jason. Like I said it also works great on the dash and seats. You can usually find it well priced on Amazon and Ebay. I like the wipes for smaller projects. :) Good luck and warmer weather is just around the corner. In fact, we open our boat club island this weekend, which is...
303 is far better than AA which is why it is the only treatment recommended for truck tonneau covers. I use it on my dashboards, boat seats, etc. It is a good protectant without the greasy gloss.
Thanks for all the help. I figured it out yesterday while in the engine room and noticed on the main power panel that I must have bumped the switch to off at some point. Doh...
Standard Norcold fridge. Maybe the switch will not light because my shore power was plugged in to charge my bateries. Yes, both switches are new from Flounder Pounder Marine and both have bulbs in them. There is only one switch in both the AC and DC panels for refrigerator. The galley fridge...
I just completed my second application of PP, is it recommended to wax with a good wax like Meguires Flagship now or will that destroy the polymer protection from the PP?
