    Water in Bilge

    Sometimes the magnesium anode rods in water heaters can react to stale water and create a rotten egg smell. The solution is usually to change the anode rod to an aluminum one. I am not sure if your heater has an anode rod or not but it may be a good place to look if nothing else fixes the issue...

    Raymarine C90w vs Garmin 740s

    Thanks for the insight. I did realize that they are not equals but I was really wondering if the reduction in screen from 9 on the Raymarine to 7 on the Garmin was offset by the touch screen feature on the Garmin. I have been leaning towards the Garmin for a while based on features and newer...

    Raymarine C90w vs Garmin 740s

    The time has come to update and add some new electronics to the boat. Originally I thought the Raymarine C90w with radar was what I wanted but now I have seen a lot of ads touting the Garmin 740s. I would appreciate some imput on pros and cons of each and other units to look at if possible. We...

    Atlanta Boat Show 1/13-16/11

    We will be there on Saturday. The best reason to go is to get the feeling of being a boater again. The last two weeks have been unusually cold and gloomy so just hanging around other boaters should cheer everyone up!

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    I may have to resort to that. I used to laugh at owners who would not let people use the head for all of it's intended purposes but I may have to rethink my position. The standard is 6 pieces per flush. I wonder if I can get a bidet for the head???

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    I sincerely appreciate all the help. I am headed back up to the boat on Friday and will check for a leak around the pressure switch. The filter is about 16 months old so it's probably time to change it again. I'll let you know if any of these makes any difference. Again Thanks

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    So far the antenna IS the most logical answer. We left the covered dock just long enough to take the picture. I hoped no one would notice.

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    I removed the hose from the pump before I sent the snake down the toilet to avoid that possibility. If it didn't work at all that would make it easier but if we go back on Friday it will probably be fine until Sunday.

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    The bowl does fill and hold water. I should have also said that I ran a small 25 foot snake down the toilet and removed the hose from the suction side of the pump to make sure that there was nothing in the line. I also ran it down the 3 ft section from the discharge to the tank.

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    Sorry, I should have stated that the pump runs but does not build vacuum. After the last complete flush the fill water remained in the bowl. My thought is that if the vacuum leak was at the bowl then the water would be sucked into the line. I have tightened all the stainless steel clamps I can...

    Vacu Flush doesn't work on Sunday's

    I have tried to read thru every thread on this issue but did not see anything related to this. We had problems with the vacuflush about a month ago and after reading all the threads I could, replaced the duckbills and the diaphram. Unit worked great. We spend every Friday, Saturday and Sunday on...

    Jacksonville, FL Info please.

    Sorry to hear that things have not picked up. I was born, raised and lived in Jax for 45 years and people either love it or hate it. Being a water rat I loved it. The St Johns River, Intercoastal and Ocean are all easily reachable and there are a lot of day trips to be made either north to...

    V-Berth custom mattress

    Since the mattress is two pieces I got some 3' wide construction paper and taped them to gether to get a 5ft 10" width. I laid the old mattress on top of the paper and traced it out to get the bottom size. Then took another two pieces and taped them together. I turned the mattresss over to get...

    V-Berth custom mattress

    We had the same issue with our mattress. I contacted Knox Foam out of Knoxville Tn and they made us a custom memory foam mattress that is great. Three inches of base then 2" of 5 lb and 1" of 4lb for a total of a 6 inch thick mattress. I worked with Jody. Made a template of the top and bottom of...

    V-Berth Comfort

    The original mattress on our 330 was terrible. Two years ago I contacted Knox Foam out of Knoxville Tn. Jody was a huge help in having a custom mattress built for our boat. I made patterns of the two sections, sent them to her in a mailing tube and 10 days later we had a custom mattress of 3"...
