PDQ OWNERS FORUM

We just recently came across another alternative that looks and works great:
A Furrion 3 burner cooktop for less than $300.
Had to modify the cutout but other than that an easy install.

Please note the posting I did today under the heading of Turbo to exhaust elbow spacer.

Yes, the factory did use a butyl calk under the outside frame that makes it hard to get the exterior frame off. These are great ports but unfortunately no longer offered by Bomar in our size. Corrosion can cause parts of the frame to come apart in areas where it was welded which does result in inter...

Over the last few years we have been encountering failures of the spacer that sits between the Turbo and the Exhaust elbow. This is a custom PDQ part that was designed to align the output of the Exhaust elbow and the Vetus muffler. Until now there was no replacement available each had to be custom m...

Hi Folks, Over the years we have tried many different designs of chain hooks and finally found one that is 100% in all conditions and not expensive. The drawback was that it was custom made and impossible to find on the open market...So.... Last month we found a source for the SS material and someon...

Scott, Great update ....good information for all of us....Thank you !

Several weeks have passed since my original posting and no one has voiced any interest in the old mattress so I guess it goes in the trash on Tuesday 12/26.

Hi folks, We just replaced our original mattress on the stbd. Side with a new Millard 3 fold 6” …a little upgrade from the original 4”. The old mattress is in good condition and is available at no cost to anyone that might need it. Just text me at 772-486-2250 , we live in Palm City and it is availa...

Last March 2022 a failure of the bolts connecting the Turbo to the spacer and then to the Exhaust elbow was reported. Since then we know of two other engines that have suffered the same fate. In the latest case a significant amount of exhaust was leaked into the engine compartment and caused quite a...

Good morning, I concur with all Duetto has mentioned....except the life of the batteries....If we are lucky we get 4 years out of the house bank and only three years out of the eng. start batteries. Last year we tried a different brand for the house (interstate) and they lasted 2 years...never again...

The pick up tubes in the forward tank were cut at a depth to prevent more than about 50 of the 70 gal to be transferred aft. The practicality of the information however is questionable as we all know our fuel gages are not very accurate. My rule of thumb is that I never take the forward tank down to...

A comment to owners….high water bilge alarms are easy to install, not expensive and a very practical insurance to avoid a major problem. I know of several real experiences where a high water alarm could have saved the owner thousands…not to mention the headaches.

This is an important and troublesome issue on our boats as they grow older and I thought it might be helpful to summarize all the lessons learned with the Nova Kool units. First and foremost they are good and reliable units but there have been many issues, most related to installation. Many hulls ha...

We were one of the first PDQ’s to get the Bourgerv and have used it extensively over the last year. Our first unit stoped working after about 5 hours and upon notifying the company we had a new unit in hand three days later….outstanding service. Since then the unit has been absolutely 100%. Low amp ...

As our engines grow older the starter relay is failing on many engines. It is a simple and not very expensive ($179 to $350 depending on where you shop) part that you should have on board as a spare. Replacing it is not easy due to its difficult to access location just under the starter motor. Many ...
