If I were you and all the other faucets are ok, I’d swap the galley (K) with a toilet sink/shower faucet (I or J) to see if there’s a blockage in the manifold or line. Photo attached.

Yup, considering that.

 

[Irie308]

Should we assume that you already verified that the valve at the manifold is open all the way on the galley line?

Yes and my manifold has shut offs for the main hot and cold lines only.

Have been trying to find the source of the low water pressure at the kitchen faucet. Have even replaced the faucet with no change. Either on shore or tank water the pressure doesn’t compare to the other faucets. Any ideas?

Check the aerator. Likely plugged-up.

EDIT: Ignore that. Somehow missed that you replaced the entire faucet already!

Purchased the Taylor Made fender baskets for the 10x26 fenders. Well the mounting brackets are to small to go over the top rail and get the bolt in place. I assume I am going to have to custom bend it. Has anyone else mounted these and how did you do it.
thanks

What do you keep in those huge fender lockers on the bow? I never felt the need to use the baskets and as a personal preference I cant stand the things. The Carver had a tiny little bow locker that wont hold much more than the 20 feet of chain. I an buying Fender Tex inflatables and take my baskets off the bow rail. I can put about 8 deflated fenders in chain locker I reckon.
Carpe Diem.
Oh and the baskets are kind of gerry-rigged with long bolts to fit the top rail anyway so to keep them I would be compelled to mount them correctly.

 

[RBB]

Never thought abought putting them in the bow locker. I will take a look at that tomorrow. I had the baskets on the 390MY and they were fine, just wanted to try them on the 44 . that way no need to move them when retrieving the anchor.

 

[Irie308]

That’s where we store our fenders. Not a big fan of the baskets either.

 

[AEO]

Yup, considering that.

Let me know how you go

Just after buying my boat I installed 2 CAM 220 cameras thinking I would use them for back-up, but agree with the other comments, once you get the angles down you won’t even look at them. Now I use them for keeping an eye on what’s going on behind me along with the bow facing camera installed for ClearCruise AR, then switch them to my security system (MAC mini running Security Spy) when away from the boat.

Curious where you mounted the bow camera for clear cruise?

Was able to put mine on the spoiler which was apparently an SR option.

Yup, much more real-estate on your model than our 04.

what size are your Raymarine MFD's? Our boat is a 06 model and I am trying to fit a
7"&9" in the center with a 12" to the left. They are suppose to start installing around the 21st or 22nd. Waiting on the radar and 16" Axiom to come in.

I have an Axiom 12” forward and 16” left. I am also getting a new radar. Radar, Sat Dome and stand are currently being painted black.

Yep I am installing the open array mag radar 4’ and the cam 220 also. We have another vendor doing the stereo. We are also updating the KVH
to the TV3 . Hopefully we will be done then.

Sorry, I am not installing a 16" MFD its a 12".

What was your reason for the KVH to TV3 update?

 

[RBB]

The unit on the 44 I bought is outdated.

Outdated in what way? I have the M3 and it seems ok still but always looking for reasons to upgrade

I think its a TV 4, i am IT inept though. The system on the boat is set up for Direct and we are on DISH also. Possibly has something to do with the local channels and HD also.
