thank you this is great info. And what you predicted is exactly what I’ve seen happening so far. Good readings on both units 90% of the time and then suddenly the i40 will give a whacky reading for a short period, and then return to normal. I think if I cannot adjust the frequency to prevent...
I recently installed a new Garmin transducer for my new Garmin MFD (943xsv). I still have the older transducer in place from previous device, and it is mounter next to my new one, maybe 12” from it. Out of curiosity I connected a stand alone depth gauge (Raymarine i40) to the old transducer...
1998 400 DA. Medicine cabinets in both heads have mirrored faces that are aged and deteriorating around the edges. Anyone know of a way to replace or fix. Searched FP Marine and no luck. Wonder if I could just break and remove the glass mirror surface and glue new custom cut ones on but...
I ordered a Vitrifrigo. Put one in my last boat and loved it. Found it for the same price as the Norcold. Arriving next week. I will need to remove part of the cabinet inside the galley in order to get the new refer through the companionway of the boat. I'll try to post a few in-progress...
Does anyone know the "type" or exact model of thru hull transucer was used on the tridata system. 1998 400DA. My Parts manual lists it as:
Transducer Depth Retractable Bronze (B&G) PN: 0947556.
I am trying to see if i can make it work with a new Raymarine i40 depth instrument that says it...
thanks for the feedback. I agree 100% about life expectancy. Mine is 20 years old, so I am happy it lived this long. I have also never had a problem with Norcold units unless again, they were old and at the end of their reasonable lifespan. But, I was reading reviews on West Marine that were...
OK. That's what I thought you meant, but wanted to be sure. And I agree. I was ready to just replace with the exact same thing since it served its purpose well for 21 years, and it's affordable, but then all the bad reviews got me second guessing. thanks.
I have a 1998 400 DA. Original refer is a Norcold DE0061. It is dead, or at least on its way to to the grave. Looking to replace it. From the reviews I have read I am nervous about putting in another of the same model, and would prefer Vitrifrigo or Novacool, but between Covid-19 and tariffs...

As Croc Dundee used to say, "That's not a knife. This is a knife!" I can't take credit for this raft up. My father-in-law and the Northern CA -Sea Ray Boat Club. He started and organized this annual event for years and years. I believe this was their biggest year, or at least close to it.
Does anyone know the exact hose size that goes from the strainer to the engine heat exchanger on a 2001-2003 Mercruiser 8.1L MPI gas engine. I am pretty sure it is 1-1/2" but cannot be certain. I measured the circumference and from that I determined the OD is approx. 1.67". The engines have...
Does anyone know the torque spec on the brass sea water pump body assembly. 2003 8.1L Merc. Horizon.
I know on the plastic bodies from the 7.4L it is 10ftlbs. Learned the hard way when I cracked one on my last boat. Not sure how critical it is on the brass body of the 8.1L.
Thanks.
Does anyone know if the impellers for 2003 8.1L Mercruiser Horizon engines are the same as for a 2000 7.4L MPI. I was told they are, but when I go to Mercruiser website they show different part numbers.
For the 8.1L it shows PN: 47-862232a2 (Sierra match is 18-3016-1)
For the 7.4L it shows...
