    BTW thanks for doing this. I had forgot to acknowledge. They actually look identical from the inside. My shot was from the outside. Haven't found an easy fix as yet.

    Thanks, that was my thinking but a lot of it is trapped between the inside of the window and the center post. Basically there is no way to get at it other than removing the window or the cabinetry/trim inside. It is weird as its only this window and doesn't appear to effect the bond line at all...

    Has anyone had an issue with the painted on black mask on the large widows?Specifically the galley window. It’s on the inside surface used to frame the window opening and cover inside elements when looking from the outside in. There is spot on the window where it covers the post with the...

    Thanks Carter, The strike is at it's max, and holds the door closed, but if you wiggle/rotate the handle enough (there is some rotational play) when locked, the latch will jump the catch and the door can open (i.e. pseudo locking) not sure if there is an adjustment in the lock itself to...

    Ours sides fine, but the catch only works to keep the door closed, but not maintain the lock when you turn the handle. There is a catch adjustment which I have the catch at it's highest position. Is there another adjustment to either the full for height or the amount of play in the lockset when...

    Our PO put a switch on the dash panel to shut off the compressor when not under way, and let you sleep at night. Leaks were tough to stop completely

    Congratuaions on the new boat, and maybe we'll see you in June......will be over from Chicago staying over 6/16-19 to get the season started. Maybe White Hall later in the season. Would love to do Charlevoix, but the family units pushed back on Pentwater, need to find time to put some legs together.

    Thanks Carter, I'll give that a try. Mine backs up and leaves all the dirt/residue in the channels.

    Does anybody have an issue with water not draining around the engine room hatch? On our boat the the drains are located beneath the auxiliary hatch which is bolted in place semi permanently and the water needs to run around the permanent hatch and the gutter.

    Sounds goods other than those logs! Yikes! Price is consistent with others. The five blades are supposedly for more lift which obviously helps with trim and angle of attack, basically more forward thrust.

    Thanks Carter, These are 5 blades and my numbers are MPH "not" Kts so meh. MAN really likes the WOT fully loaded to tip 2350 i.e. 2360. You might limit the time at cruise until resolved. I'm debating with the VEEM tech as to whether to swap the strips that modulate the cup/pitch down to get a...

    I'm guessing the plate striker slides back down over time. Might try some Locktight (blue I think - reversible) and/or inserting some double sided tape (thin) between the clamping surfaces prior to tightening the screws back down. It isn't the best design for sure. Also is there a way to adjust...

    I’ve had the issue but was able to adjust the latch plate to achieve consistent locking. That said it’s not easy. Suspect alignment must change over time ant the original adjustment tolerance is removed and you end up on one side of the tolerance band. Probably resetting the door is more...

    It just so happens I had done that at the same ...... and which engineer thought of that one.......as an added plus I have a nice Davit pole to slither around to port as well. I tried for an "06 + with the swim platform to avoid some of this, trust me, but forces higher up stood opposed.

    I really appreciate the help, but I crawled, literally, into the back of the two areas and this is in the category of "tools of ignorance". On the Stb side I observed that the line passed behind the generator fuel change over panel. So I took that off and found that the tube was just dangling...

    Thanks guys, I still haven't found the drains terminations if they exist, the only thing I see is the drain tubing dangling into the air intake sump, and obviously not sure this is what the factory intended.
