One of the tricks I learned with my RV that had a stuck float was flushing a lot of ice cubes down the toilet with the tank 1/2 to 2/3 full, then taking a spirited ride. The Ice can act like sand blasting inside the tank and with a little luck free up the float. Also works to break solids off...
I tried the same thing, replace the whole unit and found the cabling was all different. I returned it and bought a blue tooth receiver. Powered it with the adapter AC but could also direct wire to DC. Then plugged the bluetooth receiver into AUX on the Clarion. "Found" the bluethooth on my cell...
Hi Quint4
I'd like to talk to you about a set of snap in carpet protectors for fore and aft steps and salon. 2008 40MY. message me how to get a hold of you. Thanks
My 2008 40MY came with a nice set of snap in carpet and step covers, however there are no receiving (male) snaps in the floor and all the pieces are undersized. The width is ok on the salon floor but length is short by 18" and each step is only covered on the front edge back about 6-8". I found...
I looked at a Carver MY in the same size range as the 40MY. Actually had a purchase offer on a Carver with Volvo diesels but bailed after a survey. Hard to find Volvo techs in my area but generally the Carver 41My was a nice lay out. I noticed when I stepped on the Carver, however it would give...
Not sure what makes newer or older but I'm working with original electronics on a 2008 vessel so would like to keep in the same or new revision date range for a second display.
Next to my E120 MFD at the helm is a big blank space begging for another display. E120's are only after market now and I don't want to do a major electronic refit. Is adding another resale E120 as simple as a power cable and then Seatalk or NMEA cable from the current unit to the new one so I...
OK did my run through to figure out air horn not working. Connected my home supplied air compressor energized with 100 psi to the bilge air compressor tank with appropriate fittings and tried the horn...no go. I noticed air pressure was bleeding from somewhere as compressor lost air. I accessed...
Seaflush sounds like a good way to ensure upper evap unit is protected. I'm in Chattanooga. Winters are not severe but all I need is a few days of hard freeze to make for an unexpected Spring project.
HI Al, This is the rudder angle display from the Smartcraft. I haven't tried the rudder angle indicator for Autopilot didn't know it had one. You jut gave me something else to try next weekend. I wanted the rudder angle indicator available for my admiral who tends to wheel steer rather than...
All good procedures for winterizing. I'd like to hear what others have done to winterize the raw water network for the 3-4 A/C units. Don't like risking freezing the exchangers.
Hi Al, Long message with some other updates.
Been awhile since I've been on this forum. Regarding the horn,next weekend I will be going back to the that issue. I removed the cover on the cockpit ceiling and saw the horn solenoid and it does actuate. So next I removed the starboard cover plate...
Job is finished by a very capable Cummins tech. My first seasonal maintenance with this boat. Gen and engines: fuel, oil filers, impellers, and valuable comments along the way. Learned my fuel was a little dark so I should add a biocide or if left to be, its a big problem to get rid of a bloom...
I am comparing a local service organization bid to change oil and filters as well as impellers on my Cummins QSB 5.9's and Onan 15.5KW or do it my it myself. Being somewhat mechanically inclined I feel i can figure my way through it but the PIA factor may be worth paying. Bid involves total of...
Agree with Accurite. I have a weather station set up over my helm plus 4 sensors set up around my 40MY. I keep the modem powered up and connected to dock cable so I can view temps and humidity. Easy to set up, nice app. You need a modem though.
