    One solinoid for "up" one for "down". Suggest you replace them both.

    Should you buy a gun or not?

    I am 78 and was born into the Texas gun culture. By "culture", I don't mean persons following a trend because it's cool, but rather people who think no more of putting a gun in their belt than their wallet in their pocket. Here is a piece of wisdom. Anyone can make a gun work - what is left out...

    Mosquito Netting vs Isenglass

    n 82 36' SRV has full canvas enclosure, but it's old and hazed. I was about to have the Isenglass replaced when I asked myself, how about something more utilitarian. I live in Texas, cold is not an issue, but bugs are. Has anyone considered replacing the Isenglass with mosquito netting?

    Need Rebuild - Vacuflush Pump

    True but the O ring seats against a groove in the pumps housing as well as in the fitting itself. Why not do both? Kinda an insurance policy. If it fails what have you lost? Keep us informed. Both?? I like it ... will let you know.

    Need Rebuild - Vacuflush Pump

    TE="dwna1a, post: 1306914, member: 26097"]Increase the thickness of the O rings and use Vaseline on the rings before putting it back together. I'm thinking of chucking the "O" rings altogether and lay bead of Permatex Right Stuff instead. Can't turn out worse than present leaky SOB.

    I've "rebuilt" it twice and can't get it to stop leaking effluent at the O-ring seals. I thought I woul let someone else give it a try.

    Wire on Sea Strainer

    What is causing my question is that a freeze broke the glass bowl in the strainer. Marina mechanic took the broken glass out for replacement, quit his job and left me to deal with it. Not a hard fix and when I figure out how to get past the generator, I'll deal with it. However, now the...

    Flooded Engine Room

    Subject boat is SRV 360 berthed in Fort Worth, Texas. Recently experienced record -2° freeze. Over a foot of water accumulated in the engine room that overwhelmed the pumps. Thorough inspection didn't reveal any through-hull issues. Does freeze and rupture of fresh water holding tank sound right?

    Not sure on circuit breaker size nor how to determine. I'm guessing overkill is better than underkill.

    Amps For Windlass Solinoids

    I am replacing the solinoids (up and down) on my 12v Good anchor windlass. The people at Good won't tell me what size solinoids are required (irritating). I guessed and opted for 300 amp. Before I install them I would appreciate input on whether the 300 amp solinoids are sufficient for the job...

    Good Windlass- Solenoid

    We are about to find out. I asked them about the proper solenoid and they advised that can sell me both solenoids on an aluminum pan. What follows is my explanation to them. We'll see what they decide. I understand, but the problem is that the subject solenoids are virtually inaccessible...
