Re: PSS Seal Size or Part Number
Doug, I also have an ‘06 & had the same ongoing Tide Seal dilemma. Not to rehash the entire PDQ/Tide Seals issues (you’ve probably read extensively on this forum & including Dick’s advise), but if you’re pulling the shafts, replacing the cutlass bearings & shaft seals, you should definitely consider...

Re: wiper arms?
Mostly confirming what others have said regarding windshield wiper motor replacement (based on my 2006): The correct motor (see below) is the Marinco #34000 MRV Heavy Duty Motor w/ 2 1/2" shaft & 80 degree sweep angle The correct arm (if pantographic) is the Marinco #33037A Deluxe Adjustable Pantogr...

Weatherstripping for cabin sliding screens
When re-painting the cabin rear side screens (in the sliding windows - NOT the phantom screen) I ripped out the weatherstripping, thinking I would just replace it. Unfortunately, it appears to be an unique size no one sells. While it is typical slide-in pile weatherstripping, it is only .15” wide. I...

Re: Fuel Vent Gurgle?
Ahhhh ... we hear the same occasional gurgling noise. I had thought it must be battery acid gurgling or something, but the diesel vent makes MUCH more sense - in particular the Racor fuel/air vent separator in the vent line which is basically 2’ away when lying in bed. We hear the gurgling mostly at...

Re: Cutlass Bearing Replacement
Finding my port Tides seal beginning to leak & with the shaft visibly whipping at high speeds, I thought I’d make an attempt at checking the engine alignment. As I carefully disconnected the flexible shaft coupling, I was surprised when the shaft dropped down onto the bilge floor like a lead weight ...

Re: Effective Fuel
I’d be curious, in a fuel emergency, could you access some of the extra fuel in the auxiliary tank? If you shut the genset valve off (so it doesn’t drain & of course not use it), remove the pickup tube of the transfer pump & add a length of rubber tubing to reach further down into the tank - then tr...

Re: Effective Fuel
Nick- I’m sure you’ll get more exacting info from people like James Power or Dick & there may be some variation depending on exact pickup tube depth. Going by our experience, the useable fuel is quite limited. The main tank: Once we got very low - the gauge had shown empty for over a hour & when I p...

Re: Original LPG tanks
We just went through this last fall when attempting to refill our “expired” tanks - Another option if in the Vero Beach area: I would recommend Como Oil & Propane. They re-certified (with an official receipt & decals on the tanks) AND filled both tanks for only $27.00 - I was pleasantly surprised! F...

Re: Removing Flybridge icemaker
John, This was one of our first projects when we bought Twin Sisters. We decided an icemaker wasn't needed, but we would need extra fridge space rather than extra storage, so we replaced the icemaker with a small Engel #SB47F-MK fridge, typical of Sea Rays & such. The opening size is different, but ...

Re: A Second Depth Sounder
Another possible fix for your DSM-300 issue (if being inputted to your Ray Marine chartplotter) could be the settings on your chartplotter. My depth worked only intermittently for 3 years (& the previous owner’s 2 years), so I added a separate depth sounder in the starboard hull to use instead. Jump...

Re: Prop Zincs
Mac,
The correct one should be the “D”. I’ve been purchasing then from BoatZincs.com as their “Nut-D-Alum.” prop anodes.

Re: Rudder safety warning!!!
This is our rudder from our mid-2006 (hull #100) model. There is a collar on top of this glassed-in board with one bolt thru into the collar & one protruding out - I assume this is the updated design?

Re: novacool fridge
Nick & Barb, This can be a very involved question/answer! Your Nova Kool freezer/fridge is not the “ideal” unit, with it’s single compressor attempting to keep both compartments at proper temps, with minimal insulation thrown in. I’ve outlined some things I’ve done here: https://esc-pod.com/pdq-34-u...

Re: novacool fridge
Mac, I used a common 4”? pancake/computer fan from Amazon. In addition to 12 volts, I looked for one with ball bearings & the best rated/most expensive (they are so cheap, the cost difference is tiny). I hooked mine up to a terminal strip mounted below the fridge which powers my new digital thermost...

Re: novacool fridge
Mac - We store all of our lines in that locker.
John - Not sure what you mean. Are you asking why I drilled the hole at that location or why I mounted the fan from that side of the partition? If the latter, it just seemed easier.
