I have a 5 year old 12 20 3 bank charger. Today I arrived at the boat only to find the port batteries (starting batteries) dead. 0 volts. They were 3to 5 years old so I bought new ones. After install I turned on the charger and observed the port bank was 12.4 (not charging and the stbd (house)...
It seems the Maretron products are becoming increasingly more popular out there.
I bought my first DSM410 and a pair of TLM100’s for fuel monitoring and I’m hooked. We have a few people here with with an abundance of knowledge and experience with the product that have posted a considerable...
I don’t have a spare at my house and I’m wondering what size / # screw fits in the mounting hole. I want to order weld mounts tonight and am not near the boat. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
I just installed two tank level indicators. The dsm recognizes them. Allows me to program gallons for both of them but I can’t find a screen that shows both tank levels. What am I missing?
I am aware of the costs of ac units. I just replaced mine myself. However, I am curious if anyone else has had a professional replace theirs and and most importantly, what was the cost of the labor?
I want to start adding devices in the engine room. My plan is to extend the backbone from the helm but I have a few questions. Can I just:
disconnect the terminator and Replace it with a drop cable that leads to a new backbone in the engine room where the new “T” fittings will be located?
if so...
Leaving the Anchorage today I did a dumb thing. I put the boat in gear and started driving off I reach 2250 RPMs and the boat was going slow (about 13kts) I looked down and noticed my starboard transmission lever was not all the way forward. Before my brain was engaged my hand reached for the...
I need to finally get a handle on my inoperable fuel gauges. Before I go out and buy Kus-USA senders, is there a more modern alternative to them? I don’t want to give up the mechanical gauge. Is there something that will plug into the NMEA2000? I don’t want to do a whole new system like a...
I replaced the tides seals on the port side when I removed the engine. Now the starboard seal is dripping. Can I leave the coupler attached to the transmission? It seams easier to remove the shaft nut and use a puller to push/ break the shaft free then slide it down. It’s been a while am I...
Apologies to those who have seen this in the 400 410 section. I have reposted it here because i have started back working on it and I have opinions to ask. It will be easier here as a different thread. With more eyes on it.
I need another winter project like I need a hole in my head...
Can anyone direct me to a gallon of Arctic White gel coat. The color and code came from Sea Ray. I have been using white gel coat on projects for a while. I am not good or consistent at mixing colors. I buy gel coat at $50 a gallon. I can’t bring myself to buy from Spectrum at $344 a gallon...
I have a friend looking at a used boat. Survey says one foot square soft spot in deck near hatch. I haven’t seen the boat yet but am assuming the hatch seal failed. I am no stranger to fiberglass and core work. However, I am curious what a yard might charge to pull headliner down, cut open...
This is my fifth season with the boat. The PO said don't turn on the synch something is wrong with it. Well today I finally got to that number on my list of things to do. In gear, I brought the port engine up to 1650 rpm and the starboard to 1700 rpm. I then, for the first time in my history...
Repowering the Laguna. It has old fuel in it and I'm looking for suggestions on getting it out. I'm thinking 55gal steel drum from somewhere? I would rather pull it out thru the fuel pickup as I feel I will be able to get lower than sticking a hose down the fill and siphoning. I'm assuming...
Both port and starboard levers are a little stiff. They have been since the day I bought the boat. Is there a tension screw in the unit? Do you just unbolt the unit and pull it out to get to it or access from underneath?
i have 8 bolt holes to repair/fill on my transom. Moving from twin to single outboard. I plan on coating a dowel with resin. Plugging the hole. Grinding and feathering in the surfaces. My question is epoxy, polyester or vinyl ester resin?
I have been trying to locate a part number for a new basket. I looked in my electronic parts manual. It wasn't much help. Rough dimensions are 3.25 X 8.25 ish!
