Mine has a hard time heating up, takes a bit to cool. I wouldn't say anything is "wrong" but when things hit around that 20 year mark I start eyeing them for upgrades, especially when they seem a little goofy. Full disclosure I haven't done so much as to have it checked/recharged, which is on...

Quick question for the collective - Have any of you guys refitted your AC or still running the original equipment?

That looks like the one they sent me. Sorry for the delay - Been out of town a bit and not on here.

You are correct - You will have to take off the map area formed panel in order to replace the tracks. Its 1 visible screw from the top, a handful of screws on the bottom edge, and I didn't see any in the sides while I was peering around.

I also rebuilt the VacuFlush head - theres a million resources on that so I won't spam it here, but if anyone has questions on that it is also a treat. My bowl seal was leaking and the pump would kick on way too frequently.

Back again with more "Everyone learn from my suffering" :) My cabin door felt...heavy. So some investigating I found one of the trucks exploded, so I got in touch with FP-Marine and found this kit -...

Hick, I had to replace mine. It was doing the same thing so I purchased a small bar faucet from amazon instead of parts kits rebuilds (the original was also kind of gross looking from oxidizing). I think this is the one I bought...

We had a really good (all day) downpour yesterday and it did 2 thinks - Confirmed my repair was good, and confirmed my other 2 hatches need resealing. There was a bit of moisture on the shade, and 1 drop on the couch in the galley.. I think with less rain it wouldn't have been noticed. Like I...

After I splashed this spring I was doing my “what broke over the winter walk around” and I had the beanbag chairs on the bed and I noticed some water drops on it. While it was raining I pulled the inner trim off and saw the drop. I’m sure I could have found a gasket, and west marine sells...

Getting caught up on spring maintenance and I wound up needing to reseal my forward most deck hatch. I would imagine if you haven't your boats are going to be coming due soon. There seal itself was an adhesive tape, with silicone on the screw. I cleaned it all off, used 3M 4200 to rebed the...

Right on, thats what I was imagining. With all the COVID stuff, boating is shut down in MD. I've been busier than I'd like between work and National Guard activation... so I'm thinking about spring prep in my hour nap between jobs. Fun times! Hope everyone here is staying safe.

I was half expecting that. thanks for the insight! I'll investigate further when it warms up and spring prep starts. I've got servicing the aftercoolers on my list too... so spring should be fun.

I was afraid I’d run into that. Do you remember what the wires were? Was it a bundle, rca jack with +/- ? I was initially wondering if I could reuse existing wires

Hey guys, wondering if any of you swapped out the control remote for the stereo at the helm. I see new models are 3 wire (power / ground / 3.5mm ) just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience. Cheers!

Pics from the light parade in Middle River MD. Sorry for duplicates - uploaded from phone. Great time, 77 boats showed up decked out in way better lights than I had

I got a chance to put the switch on this weekend - Gen issue confirmed resolved. This is the link to the part: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071L62MP9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mine was the coolant safety switch that I'm pointing to in the picture. Bypassing it stopped the breaker from popping and the gen started right up.

Approaching winter and doing my "fix it list" I wondered if any of you guys had replaced your refrigerators, and what might be a direct replacement to the original unit. Thanks for any info you can offer !

Hey guys, I wanted to share an issue I ran into. 1997 370 EC 3116 Diesels / 7.6 BTD Westerbeke I was on my way to anchor out for the night, went to fire the Generator - nothing. Further inspection showed the 20A breaker on the generator itself was popping. I traced the electrical system to the...
