Hoping someone can help me calculate/understand my magnetic variation (v A r) setting on my ST60 auto pilot. I have calculated my variation/declination as show below using the NOAA calculator with my lat/long coordinates.

Thought I'd give an update of progress on the floor and step replacement. I am almost done, only the top step to go in and a couple minor finishing items. The steps are solid maple and turned out great!
I was up at the boat working on it today while in heated storage. I am plugged into the 110v with my 15a adapter and for some reason the batteries went low even though I had my converter switch on and the battery charger is powered on and says charging (see pic). However, there is no fan or...
I am in the midst of re-bedding my deck hatches just as general maintenance. There was a black gasket between the deck and the frame of the hatch that I have removed and will need to replace. I am a little confused as it seems some people use a good caulking/sealant instead. When I look around...
I am going to replace my cockpit icemaker for a fridge and I am having a tough time figuring out the best option including what will fit. I don't need a freezer in it as it will just waste space for other items. It will also need to be 12v/110v and will need wired properly. Does anyone know...
Over the past few years, I have been using Lucas diesel fuel additive to my fuel. Now that I have been reading/researching I am not sure if I should be switching to Power Service Diesel Kleen + cetane boost (gets good reviews) and then adding a lubricator. It says it has "slick diesel for...
Got my Seadek installed today. Had the head done as well. The piece in the shower is removable. Also did the platform but forgot to take a picture of it. Overall I’m very happy with the look.
I have added larger tabs with drop fins and I am still having trouble getting my bow down to a reasonable angle. With my dinghy on (700lbs) and full of fuel etc I think the next step is adding a set of tabs. I think I have read every tab thread on here at this point. Need an opinion on location...
I'd like to install a stern flag pole. Not sure where to mount it and would like a flush hole so when I remove the pole nothing protrudes. Anyone do one and have pics?
I recently changed my coolant and transmission oil and sent in SOS samples to Cat. Unfortunately, they lost both coolant and one transmission sample somehow so all I have is the port side trans results.
How long would I need to run them before I would be able to get an accurate sample result...
Need an opinion. My dad's 2012 390 DA has a vacuuflush system that is cycling for pressure every 5 minutes or so. It had never had the duckbills replaced so I did that for him figuring that was the likely culprit and either way would need replaced. That didn't fix the issue.
I know that a leak...
im totally miffed. My ice maker, cockpit outlet, and tv have no power on that run. I’ve located two gfi locations one in my galley cupboard and one in my bathroom Vanity neither of which are tripped. There is power to all other outlets. Am I missing a gfi somewhere or anyone have any ideas?
Anyone level their bed? Mine is quite a bit higher at the bow side and slopes downward. I'm thinking of some sort of large shim to get it level. Anyone else have this issue or have a solution?

I'm having trouble finding any performance data i.e. Cruise speed or fuel economy on this model with outdrives and axius and 496 mags (not HO). Any review seems to have inboards. Does anyone have experience with This model and setup?

Does anyone know how rain water is supposed to escape the windshield channel? At some point it appears the previous owner over tightened the screw as shown in the pic. Now when it rains I have water running inside out through the screw hole. Should there be some sort of drain inside the...
My ice maker is making lot of ice and is nice and cold but I'm getting a build up of ice at the back as though some water is dripping prior to being frozen I the ice mold. Anyone else have this issue?

Need some help with the prop on my new dinghy. Currently I'm running a 12 pitch 3 blade. I'm getting the correct WOT RPM of 6000 but trouble getting out of the hole. I'd like to put a 4 blade prop on. Does anyone know what pitch I should use to keep the same rpm?
