hi,

upon further review...dimensions i quoted before on screen frames were for the side facing in. the larger frame facing out are 21-1/8 x 16-1/8. not sure what bomar will use.

i assume that you're talking about the cover on the outside of the hull. if you mount the cover with the slots facing aft you can get a vacuum created behind the solid portion and cut down on the flow to the engines. the cutout is probably intended to reduce the chance of a vacuum.

hi, do you need replacements or just rescreening? ours are bowmars, 20-3/4" X 15-3/4". if you just need screening, it's not hard. you can get screening at most hardware stores. pull the rubber spline out. lay the new screen over the frame. insert the spline in the groove to trap screen. trim excess ...

on leaking on the stbd side near cabin door: we had same thing. turned out to be leaks from both shorepower plate and the coax plate. shore power was easy just remove the plate, clean gasket, silicone, and tighten. coax was harder. finally made an insert out of a 2" pvc cap. i cut so just had the cu...

hi, i THINK railing is 1"{. not sure if home depot has the exact size, they might. if not defender does by the foot. don't trust the guage. on ours, #23, you can pull snder out to check fullness. also, y-valve can leak. what's wrong with genset? wholesale replace sounds radical. steering stiffness c...

hi all, this winter we had our challenges with our fridge. the current one is a direct replacement in 2016. right from installation it frosted up much more than the original, but what did we know. this winter we had a series of complete defrosts. in the end we had 2 problems: 1) the primary one was ...

hi all,

we will be crossing back to us soon from the bahamas. in prior years we cleared in using small vessel reporting system. this year it will be ROAM. has anyone used it to clear in? any tips or traps?

done

yes. i just sent to you.

no, i don't have. i'll send you a pm.

heh mac,

i have one which i think you sent me. i will send via pm or regular email?

we've had 2 sets of seals replaced. both times out of water with prop removed. i just looked now and it looks like there is 6" that the prop can move back. that should be enough to split coupling. i guess it depends on what type of puller you need for the coupling in trans. good luck.

so after a couple of years use i swapped my first set of impellers with the threaded hubs. the whole process is an order of magnitude easier than with the older impellers. the puller is about $20 but worth its weight in gold.

expatriate, i actually like that. we too also have less trouble with the forward tank. the issue is when you need to fill both. i can't sit at the fuel dock pumping front to back....or maybe i can. i haven't thought about it. on another note, we bought the funnel. we filled both tanks once using the...

sorry but this is one of those "s**ks to be you". yes you will go in head first and get comfortable. get some foam on top of the water heater. ideally, do it on a cool day. sorry, but i think this is as it gets.
