Thanks for the suggestion fellas, much appreciated!

I'm looking for recommendations in Seattle for surveyors. Getting ready to make the move up to a sedan bridge. Any information or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Yet another water leak question for you all. I was out last weekend and noticed a small trail of water on the port side wall above the v-berth backrest. It looks like it originates somewhere around the port nav light. Anyone have experience with water entering at the nav light and presenting...

Thanks Bryan!

Are our bow rails 1" diameter? I'm pretty sure yes, but won't be by the boat for a few days to confirm, figured someone here probably knows.

I'll probably go with something like these in all actuality: http://www.fisheriessupply.com/harken-folding-padeye-3206

I have a standard snap-davits mounted to my swim step that carries my RIB. I currently raise and lower it manually with some line I clip to the handle. I'd love to rig some sort of winch system. Ideally the winch would be atop a post mounted to the swim step. I see it all the time but can't...

I'd use a 20# tank just because I already have an extra. The smaller 5# or 11# tanks would certainly be easier to move around and store though. For a tie-down anchor, I found these and like them since they are low profile when you aren't carrying a cooler or tub with them. They'll work with any...

Seems like a good option, but I doubt the propane tank would fit in the cooler, would it? It looks like there are four independent brackets, wonder if you can just mount those to accommodate a Rubbermaid instead. I'd probably only do this for three or four trips a year, so not sure I want to...

I'm looking to rig some sort of box or Rubbermaid on the swim step to carry a standard propane tank and jet cooker. This would be something temporary that I only put on for extended trips where I want to have my crab cooker with us. Anyone ever done something like this? Any advice? Any pictures...

I will admit that I’m not real mechanically inclined. I believe that I have a half system since it’s aftermarket. Anytime I have it on the trailer I use the muffs to flush it out. Regarding the back flush of the heat/AC system, if I use the plunger and my dock hose (has an unheard of...

If I choose to back flush the system by using the plunger device (have one already), is that literally plug and play? Just make sure the seacock in the bilge is open, then put the plunger on the through-hull water exhaust hole and turn it on? That won't damage the pump or anything else to push...

I didn’t convert the engine to FWC, but that was done by the original owner. My boat sits on the dock all summer, so it’s a must for my setup. Is there an easy way to back flush the engine though? Would be nice to run some fresh water through there every so often over summer when I’m between...

SeaFlush seems like a winner to me. Never seen that before but looks like a winner!

Thanks David. Sounds like my setup is somewhat different. My intake originates in the bilge, then runs behind the mid-berth to the heat/A/C unit that's under my dinette. So the tube is easy to get to in the bilge area. It sounds like your setup only flushes the intake, but not the actual...

I have a '99 270DA that has the optional a/c and heat. I want to install a dock-side flush quick-connection in the bilge in-line between the seacock and the strainer so that I can flush the system dockside instead of only when I'm on the trailer. This was done by the previous owner on my genset...

Thanks Loneranger, really appreciate the info. I have a fiberglass wire run kit so am going to give that a try first and see how it works. If I have problems with that then I'll grab a metal snake. I have some nylon cord that I'm going to leave behind in all the runs for sure. Because as much as...

This is a great post, thanks for the pictures and all the information! I'm getting ready to install the MW1 remote in my '99 270 DA. The part I'm hoping for some more clarification on is the run from the AC panel, behind the head, and into the compartment under the steering wheel. My questions...

I'm sure I'm not the first to ask about this, but I can't find anything about it on here, so here we go. When you turn the key to start up, the two REALLY loud beeps...I believe they originate with the fire suppression system. They drive me insane. Any way to either muffle those or turn them...

Thanks for the info Todd. I just shot them a note to check pricing and availability of my template. For the wall to wall option, I assume you'd still have a separate piece for the engine hatch? Would you keep those snaps to hold that piece in place? I like the idea of wall to wall, as well as...
