Got things working, I think. Gsrmin suggested I run the seatrial a second time, at cruising speed. The seatrial will always populate low speed...
Thanks for the reply. It's an Ocean 55Ss. The hunting is anywhere over 15 knots and worse the faster you get. The pump is direct power. The...
Actually, it's fine with no gasket at all - it's when I put a gasket in that the freezing happens. I'm not trying to make it frost free, but to...
I've got a nice fridge/freezer on the cockpit that I store beer and drinks in. It's got a AC based compressor and I believe it's just cold plates...
over the winter I upgraded the garmin plotters to newer models. I got a great deal on a pair of 8212 units and it was much more economical that...
I just installed the large jabsco to see if it would work for me and it does. It's high pressure, 70psi, so I put a reducer on it. If you are...
Very nice! My 55's battery bank is also a nightmare. I've added 6 6v scrubber batteries for an inverter bank, and will transition house loads...
I had problems with the seal on mine.
One thing I've found is that wet cell batteries with a watering system will well outlast Agm.
No. I did some more research into the Galleymaid and figured I'd give them a try. I also wanted to put it off until the boat is in the water.....
Thanks. I've had a lot of help but you're right. I had a vision, and it's real now :)
I thought I would post an update on my refit project. The salon work is nearly done, just varnishing the new wood remains. It's been a much...
I've looked at that brand before. It does appear to be the most economical. I'm going to look for a mounting location on the boat to install it....
What brand do you have? I get my water straight from Georgian Bay and then run it through a few filters. It's clean but probably harder than yours.
I found it left streaks and water behind that left spots. I use waffle weave towels or Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy towels (especially for...
Great question. I don't actually know. I applied last winter on my last boat and it was still going strong when I sold the boat in November. The...
It's not bad to apply, as long as you have good light. I find it's a 2 person job with one person looking on at a different angle to ensure no...
I agree with the ceramic coatings, but they are expensive. What product do you use? I use CQuartz on my boat. The new boat will probably take...
I've got a new dinghy for the new boat coming in spring and will be lifting it on the bow. My last dinghy, from the same dealer, came with wide...
I've had extremely good luck with 3m Imperial Compound and a wool pad on a rotary to bring back gelcoat. It's a one step and does a really good...
