    Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I just finished doing the rudder packing. It wasn't too bad; I thought it would be a lot harder. On the port side, I disconnected the hose to the vacuflush and unscrewed it to move it off to the sides. On the starboard side, I removed the sensor over the...

    Does anybody have rusty SS washers on the inside end of the strut bolts? Is this a common issue on our models? Have you updated to brass bolts washers and nuts? By the way, accessing them is very complicated...

    My Cummins mechanic recommends not putting anything on them to avoid isolating them.

    I completed my 1,000-hour service, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a financial rollercoaster. The housing for both after-coolers were corroded, and since they don't offer just the housing separately, I had to spend on the complete set at $4,400 each. Adding to the drama, a brand-new turbo...

    "We usually have four people on the boat, and there is ample space to be comfortable for an unlimited amount of time. I've even accommodated six people and a baby, setting up the saloon as a sleeping quarter, which can make it a bit tight, but the fun and memories outweigh the snugness – LOL. I...

    "A Holset turbo sold by Cummins costs $6,900, while a Holset not sold from Cummins is priced at $3,000. I'm trying to figure out the difference between the two. If anyone has bought the $3,000 one, could you share your experience and let me know if there are any notable differences?" o_O...

    "Wow, that is a great price for the cooler today; they typically retail for over 6k. Do you think your mechanic might have more at that price or perhaps a resale number I can use? I'm willing to drive down to NY tomorrow! :)))) Unfortunately, I also need a turbo for my port engine, and I'm just...

    I'm currently undergoing the 1,000-hour service, and it appears that I might have to replace two after-coolers due to corrosion and pitting on the ends. I welcome any feedback and would appreciate information on pricing from those who have already replaced these parts.

    Hey group, I didn’t want to add new holes to get more light for the back seat so I found this Lumitec dual color flood light that fits perfectly to the holes already made on the plastic access cover and hardtop, i just had to do do one small hole in the middle of the plastic cover for the wires...
