    Refrigerator

    Yep, fridge and water heater went out at about the same time. I have the Norcold DE 0061. I am seriously considering replacing the cooling unit so I don't have to do any trim work. Ideas?

    Water Heater

    Sorry I haven't been here for a while. Life is So Busy. My water heater started leaking today when I turned the fresh water pump on. It was manufactured in 2006. Attwood/Dometic EHM11-SM. I assume I'll be better off replacing the whole thing. What is the most similar replacement? Anyone...

    Anyone nearby? I got an accidental phone call from Doug (buddy from this site) who reminded me we have lots of members here.

    Modified Acrylic Enclosure

    Our boats generally come with Eisenglass. We can spend double on Strataglass, and I recommend doing so in most applications. I have used Makrolon and loved it, until it crazed. I recently tried to move forward with EZ2CY on my forward 3 panels, but decided on modified impact resistant acrylic...

    One cylinder mis-firing on QSC-500, low RPM only

    My 2008 Cummins diesel engines have just under 800 hours. They get used regularly, though not as much this past year as we have been building a house. We have used the boat more often in the last couple of months. The #2 cylinder on the stbd motor is not firing at idle, but runs great above...

    Best Lift for Dinghy on Dock

    Hello, My name is John and I am a Boataholic, and Constructionaholic. My wife and I bought a lot on the Bay just over two years ago. It was completely natural. Now, we live in a beautiful home with a view and a dock, and are working feverishly to finish painting the interior to qualify for a...

    Boat Security

    Forgive me if this has been covered recently. I only found dated threads. I have researched several systems online. I am looking for a security system primarily for use at the dock, at home. I may build it myself from home systems. I may obtain cell service with internet for the boat...

    Looking into Cameras and Alarm Systems

    I am looking for ways to put Internet accessible cameras and an alarm system on my boat. Ideas? I am ready to put a WiFi router on the boat with a cell phone line if required.

    How do I diagnose Vacuflush

    I've done searches, and I know there is already a ton of info here, but I couldn't find it. In my 18 years of owning Sea Ray Cruisers, I have never had any work done to any head system. My Master head motor now runs and, apparently, does not build up vacuum. I had the dealer mess with the...

    Compare New Strata tinting 44 DB

    I am having new glass made for the bridge. It was original Eisenglass that the dealer had abused and then I used for almost 4 years. It is being replaced with Tinted 40 mm Strataglass in the back and untinted in the front. I added U-zips in the back corners. I love it! In the two photos, they...

    Age Old Quesiton: EZ2CY Vs Strataglass

    Time to start replacing more panels. I actually cracked a roll up the other day. The L and R front panels can be solid, but need to flex 90 degrees in about 4 ft of panel length. I never, ever take them out. The side ones definitely need to open up but could possibly be lifted and snapped to...

    Alternator or Battery Bank?

    My house batteries ran a little low, unexpectedly a couple of months ago. I have noticed that my DC gauge on the engine instruments is reading at about 12.3V on the port side (house) and 13.8 on the starboard side. Would a faulty battery cause this? They are group 31 AGM batteries from Sears...

    If this thread has already been initiated, apologies up front. I have been away from this site for far too long. My resolution is to come back. I completely missed the calendar season - first time ever. Catch up: Family is doing well. Boat is doing great. It is waxing season. I've...

    Aquapalooza a complete BUST in Panama City, Fl

    I wrote a huge post about this but it got deleted during submission. Bottom line - no one knew about it. Weather cleared up by afternoon for a great afternoon. Musician was cancelled by SR and showed up at the restaurant where we ended up taking the boat for dinner. So, why a bust? I...

    Cleaning A/C Cooling Lines

    Two of my A/C units share one pump. One line travels 5 feet to the salon. The other travels 30 feet to the forward stateroom. We have done a lot of medium-term living aboards and travels, so, I didn't keep up on my line maintenance. I have since used acid twice to clean the lines, and though...

    4-day Get Away over Memorial Weekend

    I have really been behind on posting any posts like this one, but I have a start video that I have to share. We cruised 15 NM SE of the Pass at Panama City to Crooked Island and hung out for 4 days. We were alone for the first 2, then joined by some local SR people (one family is new to this...

    Check out this Screen Cleaner

    I got some inside info from one of our own here at CSR, Douglas. He sent me a sample of this screen cleaner kit, and after letting it sit in a pile of mail for too long, I finally got around to checking it out. That was a mistake. This stuff is great. It's not just that you put a tiny little...

    Need Help IDing new Azimut owner in Kentucky - Up from Florida

    Nice dock neighbor, for a day. When I returned to port, my hose was in use by the boat next door, fittings disassembled and strewn across his boat's bow. Apparently, the owner was off finding parts. The young ladies on board were put out by me needing to remove my hose from their dock inlet...
