    thruster anode / zinc

    Thanks all- mine looks completely wasted away. Not sure when the PO might have (if at all) replaced since 2001.

    thruster anode / zinc

    Hi all, I think I've seen some discussion on here about this but wanted to pose a specific question: there appears to have been a zinc on my bow thruster that has eroded. Anyone have a source/part number for this. It's the 24v Vetus bow thruster, 80KGF 24VDC 7.28"ID TUNNEL. Thanks, Cheryl

    460 DA Owners Thread

    Thanks folks for the additional information on the transmission. My person here has done a number of these replacements. Only issue is he's very busy, so it might be winter work. Interestingly, I talked with someone else who is currently having this issue with his boat and his mechanic told...

    460 DA Owners Thread

    Here's the pic of the port gear unit. It's a little dark but you should be able to identify the "screen" as well as some small black pieces of material that are around and below it. Sorry the pic is so small. Seems my storage space was used up with only two photos stored - clearly I'm not...

    460 DA Owners Thread

    Sure-- I should be over at the boat tomorrow (Friday) and able to take and post a pic. Folk can then keep on the lookout should something like this occur. Doesn't sound too common, thankfully. I may not have noticed it but my mechanic was in the engine room and noted it. I sucked the stuff...

    Thanks Paul- yeah that looks like what I'm seeing. My engine guy says he will have to separate the engine from gear, he did not mention engine removal. So much fun... Cheryl

    460 DA Owners Thread

    460 owners - I've got Cummins C6TA with ZF drive transmissions. My mechanic noticed some black rubbery material coming out of the top of both of them where there's a "screen" with little round holes in it. He indicated that transmission failure could occur, uncertain when that might happen...

    Port Hole Windows & Hatch resealing

    I am just now finishing this job. All the port holes and also the ER vents. Not a particularly difficult job. I did it with the boat in the water. I did the job after the boat sat for winter in the covered slip, thinking that would give any moisture time to dry out as much as reasonably...

    Whats in your to-do box?

    Right now I'm in the middle of re-bedding the ER vents and all the port holes. I've got the PORT side done, and flipped the boat around to do the STBD side. After that I believe I'll be ready to go for the season. Over the winter I did the following: -cleaned the bilges -replaced the Clarion...

    06-08 high gloss cherry delamination

    FWIW my 2001 460 had a very small area of delamination in the forward stateroom (about 3"). I ran some silicon glue underneath the area and taped it down until dry with blue tape. I've heard that earlier boats could also have delam and clouding issues. I think I was told that for the...

    canvas seat covers

    THANKS Frank! I was actually laying awake thinking about this in the night and I thought the same thing, that due to the dusty residue, the covers would need routine cleaning too. I thought that sheets might work at least as an initial fix, I figured I could tuck them into some places and...

    canvas seat covers

    Thanks- well at least I'm not "losing it" (well that may be up for debate). I, too, have a big hairy dog and I've about given up on keeping him, his hair, and the sand and saltwater he drags in, off of the exterior seats. ! Good luck with yours :)

    canvas seat covers

    Still trying to work through the canvas setup on the 460 DA I bought last year. She stays in a covered slip year round. For the winter I have no problem putting the large canvas over the entire cockpit. But when spring comes I'd like to remove that cover for the season. The thing is that we...

    Interior Cabinetry Maintenance Product Recommendation

    I have the dark "cherry" interior and I just started using murphy's oil soap and hot water. Other things I tried would not take the fingerprints off. I can't stand looking at all those smudges on a bright sunny day on the hook! Cheryl

    wire fishing tips?

    Yesterday we got the wire run for the hailer. It took a little finesse and I had not thought about going back behind the fuel manifold but that worked well. Thank you for the intel! Cheryl

    wire fishing tips?

    Thanks all- for this helpful information. I'll see what I can do, after the incoming snow storm we're supposed to get! Cheryl

    wire fishing tips?

    Greetings. I'm trying to install a hailer horn on the hard top of my 460 DA and I started the wire from the underside of the hard top where I removed the round access port (where the VHF is mounted to the hard top). Then I fished this new speaker wire down the STBD side of the arch where I...

    460 DA Owners Thread

    Thanks to you both- very helpful. Yes I believe my boat has the plate at the transom and a round on each tab. No lift. Hadn't thought about the bowthruster- thank you! I do have the parts manual but I wasn't sure how to translate that info into something that I can procure- e.g., 398222...

    460 DA Owners Thread

    Does anyone know what kind of underwater zincs for a 2001 460 DA? It's about time to get the diver over and I think this one will want me to have the zincs there for him (as opposed to bringing them himself). I had the zincs changed in the yard but it's not showing what kind they were on the...
