You can recharge yours easily. Cut it and dump the charcoal. New charcoal at pet stores. It’s PVC so you can customize itView attachment 97526View attachment 97527View attachment 97528View attachment 97529
Looking for plug wires for my 8.1's. Part # is 84-8M0117678. I'm seeing prices out there for around $490!! Is there an ACDelco equivalent, or another option?
Also, other than Amazon, where do you purchase your holding tank filter? These seem to go up every year as well. This year, $130 from the dealer. I see a couple of options on Amazon - $43 for a Voker filter, and $91-$99 for Dometic.
I think a lot of these filers new or home made fail as the minute they get wet game over. don't overfill your tank or this happens. If you cut yours open and find it wet...well there is why it stopped working. I see some in boats mounted too low and I think it actually gets water in them quicker. Keep it hight and away from the tank if possible.
I used Volvo Penta 3861295 wires. They are marine grade (so you don't get those people whining about auto parts) and are for the 8.1 and are MUCH cheaper than Mercruiser wires. I bought mine from Cecil Marine for less than $70 a set. They fit like OEM because they are OEM.
Oh, I also sawed my sanigard filter in half as well (a little off center, because the clamp went right on the centerline). Need to put something on each end so that the charcoal doesn't enter the vent line. (Cheap sponge or circle cutout of a scotch-brite pad.)
So, did you ever buy the boat?Thanks for the tip. I’m gonna go back and look at the boat again this weekend and I’ll give that a try.
There are steel tabs (angle iron) that are screwed to the bottom of the shelf behind the bulkhead that the front of the CD player sticks out of. If you have the stereo head unit out, you will be able to access the four screws.Decided to go with the Crusader plug wires. Will check the length of the wires first, to make sure they match what I have. One set is around $73. Volvo Penta's were around $100. Way cheaper then the Merc replacements!!!
Still TBD on cutting my vent filter. I appreciate the feedback though.
On another project, how do you remove the CD changer underneath the Clarion stereo unit at the AC panel? I pulled the stereo, and cannot figure out how to remove the changer?

You might be able to reach past the head unit to get to the four screws with a fairly long screwdriver. It's just kind of difficult to reach, leaning through the breaker panel and being scraped by cut off zip ties!Thanks! I’ll take a look again. I don’t recall seeing those the last time I was in there. You can only access it with the stereo removed, correct?
