Greatly looking forward to our sophomore year at the helm. Having a ball planning all the chores and may-as-well jobs once Spring comes to Toronto.
2 questions
There would seem to be a built-in sleeve designed to hold the salon sink cover in the tall sliding drawer next to the wall . Ee could not open the drawer wide enough to drop the cover in in the way it would appear go. Is it somehow adjustable. Seems like we just need another inch of travel. Suggestions?
Secondly, what's the protocol for maintaining the A/C units? I have no idea on the history or status, other than the 3 all seemed to work fine last year. Suggestions?
Not a question but any hints or warnings on how best to switch out the impeller SBMAR provided for our Sherwood pumps would be also greatly appreciated.

Reaching out for some help, the ACR manufactured spotlight on our 2003 420DA has stopped working. I did replace the RCL-100 point pad. It appears that it is a ground or loose wiring issue as I am a ale to get power to the coaxial cable that connects to the touch pad control if I wiggle wires under the dash. Does anyone have any experience with this or have the wiring diagram available for the original OEM spotlight system? Thanks in advance.
Problem is I just bought the boat and it’s just gone. I don’t want to pry out the other ones and break off the little trees that hold it in.Take the old one to a Auto paint supply house. Chances are they can scann the finish and make you a pint or better a small spray bomb to match. Good Luck. Mike
I replaced the exact clairon sat tuner with the exact SKV300, the original antenna works fine all you need is the fakra adaptor

@Lovichka 420 DA - attached are a few pics I took today showing how you have to insert the stove top at an angle to get it to clear the lip of the counter:
View attachment 101103 - the start of the insert process
View attachment 101104 - almost there ...

For the fuel shutoff valve, I approach it from up top, laying with my feet facing forward. For the Racors, I try to get them done from the front side of the engines, before my legs start to cramp up. A big moving blanket over the top of the Portside batteries can be your friend. I have wiggled out from there over the exhaust tube, but it is tight!
I changed my batteries a few years ago, and frankly it wasn't that hard as long as you have a buddy with some decent arm strength. I used a rope and with him suspending the battery from the top, I was down below guiding the battery down, over, down, and over.
Good luck,

Two man job - One up top with a line around the battery handle and lowers it to the other man in battery area to put in place. I was the man up top while my son was in bilge. In 30 minutes we finished both sides..Just saw your post. Bought new batteries for the port engine and have been dreading the thought of how to wrestle them down the ladder, around the engine AFTER hauling the old ones out. Was hoping Santa would send me a crane but no luck there. Good to hear is can be a two man job.
Thank You, We found local mattress company to do custom size. Its all coming together!Mike, we purchased our boat last year and with it came a brand new 'Huron Yacht Mattress' made by Spine Align, 741 Chicago Drive, Holland, MI. 49423. Price, incl. taxes, for the mattress alone was $1800. The previous owner never touched it and all the bedding and sheets that came with it were packaged. Boat is wrapped up tight so I can't offer much more than this pic I took when we 1st looked at buying it (no idea who made the blue protective cover). Memory tells me it's not a thick mattress but still, we slept like babies on it all last summer. I'm none to fussy about those sorts of things but my Princess is a princess and it passed her serious scrutiny. Not one complaint. Highly recommend it.
@Lovichka 420 DA - I can confirm that the process @villain style described is the exact one that my 16 year old son & I followed together to get the new batteries in (as well as the old batteries out).Two man job - One up top with a line around the battery handle and lowers it to the other man in battery area to put in place. I was the man up top while my son was in bilge. In 30 minutes we finished both sides..
