    New Flooring and Steps Installed

    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!

    Battery Charging Issue - Charger Fried?

    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...

    Deck Hatch Gasket?

    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...

    Replace Icemaker with Fridge Options

    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...

    Do I need a lubricator in my fuel?

    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...

    Adding Tabs 410EC

    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...

    How long for new coolant/trans samples?

    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...

    Vaccuflush Issues. Switch?

    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...

    GFI location?

    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?

    Windshield leak

    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...

    Prop Pitch - 3 Blade vs 4 Blade RPM

    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.
