Mark them, and remove and clean them. Worked for me on this and other boats. Add a little liquid Tide laundry detergent to your holding tank once in a while will help keeps things working.

I can't see where to start a new post so, does anyone know the Sherwood part number for the raw water pump on a QSC-500? TIA

I am referring to a 420/440 DA. Anyone who did this, were you able to remove the old unit somehow through the triangle without cutting anything? Central vac is already removed and out of the hole.

The A/C unit in the salon on my 06 44DA now sounds like a coffee grinder. The blower fan is about to fail and I assume it is best to just put in a new unit. I would like to hear from anyone who has gone through this, suggestions for what appears to be a difficult removal, and also what did you...

I am noticing oil coming from my starboard engine raw water pump as well. First it was a couple of drops, now seems more. I am going to check the mounting flange for tightness, but I am fearing the worst. Does anyone have a part number for the pump, both Cummins and Sherwood, and what I might be...

From C.G. Edwards in Boston, their pn was PKO49300999E

C.G. Edwards in Boston. They have all the Perko parts and fast service. 617-268-4111. I’ve used them a couple of times. cgedwards.com

Here are before and after pictures of my adding a power switch and new fuse block dedicated to the electronics. The fuse block on the right was always on with the breaker in the engine room. The fuse block on the left is just added and now switched at the helm. I moved five circuits from the...

It’s not a dumb question. I run one engine at a time at idle, seacock is OPEN. The result is flushing with about 80-90% fresh water circulating. That is to flush after use. When winterizing, there is a five gallon bucket hooked up filled with non-tox anti freeze and the seacock is closed. I use...

I did drill and tap on to the cap. I bought a new set of caps and kept the old ones as spares. It works like a charm.

This is what I added to my strainers after spending $15K to service my boat after purchase. The entire raw water side was gone through, after coolers replaced. When I know my boat will sit more than a couple of days, I flush them, ONE AT A TIME, sea cocks OPEN as per Tony Athens. This process...

My engine hatch operates fine, whether the transom door is open or shut. I would like to get it to function as it should. I clipped a wire on the safety switch and it still operates. I do not see any evidence where the previous owner may have bypassed the switch. Someone mentioned to me in...

Found it and problem solved. Thanks to all!!!!

On my 44DA, I went to activate my windlass and when I hit the master switch at the helm, the indicator light did not come on and the windlass would not operate. I checked for a breaker under the helm as well as the circuit breakers in the engine room and can’t seem to find a breaker or fuse...

I keep getting a "water in fuel" alarm on my port engine QSC 500. Fresh filters all around, happens sometimes at cruise once the tanks are around half, even happened once at 5mph, 600 rpm. I have gauges and drains on my racors, but do not see any sign of water in the bowl (s). I silence the...

Just wondering what the fuel consumption is at 2400rpm. I am burning 40 GPH total at 2400 and wondering if this is normal for the QSC 500. Port is 20.1 and stbd is 20.5. Has anyone changed the a/c unit in the salon, and if so, were you able to remove the old unit through the access opening...
