Specifically the most forward row of connections has 4 red wires and the wire on the far...

    Adhesive to re-glue the rubber gaskets under the floor

    As I pull up the floor to go down to the bilge area the rubber gaskets are just pealing away. They are in excellent condition and a little goo-gone takes the now slime adhesive right off. What can I use to re-glue them back on and not fall off because of the heat. This is rubber to fiberglass.

    Help identifying the what size breaker is the fresh water pump 1998 370 DA

    My old fresh water pump bit the dust two years ago and I asked the marine store to get me a replacement. Don't remember what I had on the boat but they gave me a JASCO PAR-MAX 4.0GPM "washdown pump". Said that was fine to use as a replacement. This pump says it's 15 AMPS at 60 PSI and then...

    Westerbeke Generator hard start but then runs fine

    Engine cranks and cranks and cranks then starts to start, eventually does and runs fine. Never had that hard of a start last season. I only have about 1/4 tank of gas (or less) in my starboard tank. Sounds like the engine isn't getting fuel right away. Someone mentioned that the generator on...
