    so you only deal with the strainers? I don’t mind researching how exactly to do it, I just don’t know know if anything else is required or recommended.

    Hello I don’t know about you guys but I would have someone come out to clean out all the components to my air conditioning systems. He is out of the picture now so I thought I would try myself. Here’s my questions. 1. What exactly am I cleaning? I know I should check on the strainer, and...

    My bow thruster failed to work this past weekend. I had the battery changed towards the end of last season, and it worked just fine a few weeks ago when I took it out the first time. When I try to use it, the green light on the thruster control blinks red a couple times. I hear no sounds or...

    Can you describe the process of doing this in more detail? It looks great.

    If you view my picture the crack in mine is perfectly straight as well, but only on the one step. Maybe these steps come in two pieces and are glued together? I may try your solution because I am hesitant to putting long screws into the step.

    My middle step into the salon is cracked. It’s been getting worse as time goes on as people are constantly stepping on it. I have a feeling this is a common design flaw because I noticed one of the previous 44s had the same issue while I was boat shopping. Has anyone else encountered this and...

    The temperature control knob to one of my salon fridges is stuck in place. It is the larger fridge to the right of the other one. It won’t become cold enough to put any beverages in it. I first tried to crank it with pliers but did not want to break it. I also unscrewed the whole knob and took...

    What makes the camper canvas better for pollen? I’m just trying to decide which one would be better to use from fall to spring. I know it’s not really that big of a deal…

    Does anyone use a cockpit cover for their 44/420? I noticed I have one but have used the isinglass when I left the boat this whole summer. I would like to use the cockpit cover instead when leaving the boat this winter so my isinglass stays in good shape. My concern is I heard they can trap...

    Jay, do you miss the split windshield? I wanted the 48 but I’m not a fan of fully enclosed windshield. I’ve considered upgrading to the 52 instead for that reason alone…

    Who all has fitted led lights to their boat? Besides simple bulb changes in the cabin, I’d like to have some multi color strips fitted under my seats, wet bar, vent holes, and maybe even around the edge of the radar arch/hardtop. If anyone has pics of any of this done please send them and feel...

    Does anyone have a suggestion to make isinglass installation less of a pain in the ass? I found that zipping a little bit first on the corners and then snapping the buttons was the best way. Should some pieces go on before others? I am definitely replacing the zippers as some of the teeth are...

    Thanks Bennett. I was concerned that I was going to burn my ac out when I saw no water pumping out while my ac was blowing. It just kicked on again as I’m typing this. My old boat never did such a thing...

    So the pump is supposed to cycle on and off while the ac is running? It’s not like I’m turning my ac on and off...

    My ac pumps seem to not be working while underway. I can see it pumping while idling but after a cruise there is no more water pumping out. Air still works though. I have to turn off all of the ac switches and then turn them back on for it to work properly again. Has this happened to anyone?
