    Newbie - pods are scary?

    There's a very good reason boats with pods are cheaper than their counterparts. The market is telling you they are a big problem. Spend more or save up more so you can spend more to get the same boat w/o pods or just get less boat. Good luck

    Holding Tank

    I've used these folks and they can do custom tanks and fittings by filing out a sheet. Were pretty good to deal with. https://www.plastic-mart.com/category/159/marine-holding-tanks Good luck

    Question

    Improper installation makes them come loose. What's proper installation? Eh, I snug them up with some 5200 on the thread and between the nuts and they never come loose. Cotter pin prevents anything really bad from happening anyway, loose or not.

    Any suggestions for removing scratches from isinglass?

    I bought a boat and they were crap. Tried some plastic cleaner polish (Meguir's PlastX or whatever it's called) by hand, for about 5 seconds, before just using the random orbital on it. Worked great and made for a much easier time. For my maint it's Imar 1 or 2x a year and then Plexus every...

    Winterize Antifreeze

    I wouldn’t. Taking from another thread, Preston’s waterline AF -100 $7 gallon MSDS sheet shows it contains Ethanol.

    Oil Filter for Westerbeke Generator

    Buy a few of them. That lowers the shipping cost per unit at least :-)

    Advice on winterizing

    No idea where water tank is but turn the system on, run it dry, then fill it up with some pink stuff and run every outlet until the pink comes out.

    Westerbeke genset 8.0 btd won’t stay running

    What you did won’t break the switches. But there is a pretty clear wiring diagram that shows you exactly where the wires to the oil sending unit go. Just check those, and then also buy yourself two new sending units to replace those that are there now so you’re done checking that part of your...

    Westerbeke genset 8.0 btd won’t stay running

    Unlikely that your oil pressure sending units’ wires were mixed up since it worked previously. My last Generator, same brand, had the exact same symptoms you do. I don’t recall what eventually fixed it and I did just what you’re doing now but one day I said F the investigating and testing and...

    Westerbeke genset 8.0 btd won’t stay running

    Sorry, should have known that. It's just checking continuity on them. They should all have continuity I believe. Something goes wrong, sensor opens and kills circuit. Oil pressure might be opposite, can't recall.
