420/44 DB Owners Club

Has anyone ever used someplace like SignSpecialist to replace the "44 Sedan Bridge" on the side of the flybridge?

I just applied the new name vinyl and now the 44 Sedan Bridge looks a little faded. I might also replace the 44 at the stern. I think is has peeled a little.

I did some searches but could not find anything. I thought I read about it on here...

The font and color are important and I think there is some slant to the letters.

Cheers!

 

Try here! I replaced all on my 420DA and they were a perfect match!

Thanks Bennett!

 

You can get same cuts in the OEM black/silver or in a chrome look. I went with the OEM look.

I waited until December and they had a 50% off sale. Even full price is cheap.

Yes, Victron 712 for 1 bank plus voltage level on second bank.
Installed it myself. The only challenge was installing the lugs on the minus cable with awg 000. I lucked out as my local battery shop in Norwalk, CT lend me their huge crimping tool for a couple of hours.

 

That’s my hold up on this project. Need a good hydraulic crimper to do the job.

 

This is the crimper I have; it's been invaluable. Easily does 000. Recommend.
TEMCo Industrial Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper TH0005 V2.0 (11 US TON) 10 AWG to 600 MCM Electrical Terminal Cable Wire Tool Kit with 32 Die Sets - - Amazon.com

 

That is the one I use, my brother in law has one and is close up in Anacortes.

 

Our local chandlery has the parts and can do the crimp ... made it easy to just tell them the length. Maybe yours can as well.

I added my shunt as part of the solar work and mounted it on a board behind the electrical disconnect box (under the stairs and just in front of the waste tank), which is near the ground bar. The ground to the bus bar had sufficient length to one end of the shunt and it was just the shunt to the bus bar that had to be made up. The Victron app is great but I still wanted the ability to have a quick look at a display, which is mounted in the electrical panel.

 

was crawling in my bilge yesterday and stumbled across this .. Not sure if it’s aftermarket or factory?

 

Thought I’d share with you a picture of my cockpit after the transom module relocation.

 

Went to use mine today and it didn’t operate.. Green light flashed and beeping sound heard but no thruster.. Going to start the trouble shooting process tomorrow.

 

My master toilet vacuum failed yesterday so I tapped this thing and it came good. Anyone know what it is? Thx

 

I think that is the vacuum switch. It tell the pump that is has pumped the system down enough. Maybe it just got stuck from not using it or there was some corrosion.

Glad it is working now!

 

Mine was working like a champ until last Tuesday. We used it at the pump out station but got nothing when we were rafting up with friends. I ducked in the ER and one of the thruster batteries had 13.13 Volts and the other had 0.75. So I took it in for a warranty replacement. Looks like early failure.

I'll get it in and post about a few other projects later!

 

Following with interest - I’m thinking dodgy battery or charger.

 

Working now but I have a feeling it’s trying to tell me something so I’m going to replace it. Thanks for identifying it for me
