UPDATE.... We made it back to St Augustine and were able to have our local NL dealer send one of their technicians to do an assessment. It turned out to be the brushes. It does seem odd that with only 1100 total hours we would have to replace the brushes again as it has only been 3 years and less th...

I don't know but I will call NL tech support to get some advice in that regard. Thanks for the tip.

NL only said that it was not as simple as replacing the brushes. I will update once we get home and have a final assessment. Thanks again...

Unfortunately no we don’t have solar. The big question now is, will running the engines charge the house batteries?

John, Thank you for your input. After discussion with Northern Lights Tech Support and the NL dealer in Nassau and diagnostics performed at their direction it was determined that "flash the field" would not correct my problem. It looks like we will just live with it not working until we ge...

Hello All, In searching the Forum this is all I could find relating to my current issue. We are down in the Exumas and our Northern Lights generator has stopped supplying power to the panel. I have a call into tech support at Northern Lights but haven’t heard back yet. So here is my question…. Has a...

All, I have decided to raise our lower helm seat as well. The problem I am having is removing the seat to access the mount. It appears that it is designed to slide forward until it slides off if the track giving full access to the mount. However, I can't figure out how to remove the slide "stop...

Roger, I rebuilt both of mine last February because I had very small drip at the handle. I dealt with customer service at Forespar (949-858-8820) and they were very helpful identifying what kit was needed. Mine had a 1” interior hose diameter and the rep from Forespar identified it as a Marlon Serie...

Craig,

Thank you for the pics and input. I was initially concerned that Velcro would not be robust enough to hold outside but this certainly gives our guy another option.

Alan,

Thanks for the photo. Yes, that is exactly what I was envisioning.

Duane,

I just had a chance to look at mine and you are spot on. Thank you for your input. I will post once the install has been completed.

Hi All, We are getting ready to install a “Textra” snap on sun shade on the exterior on the salon door. Our thought is that it will be able to stay in place while using the door. Our fabricator is questionINF how close the snaps can be placed to the glass top and sides. Any help would be greatly app...

Very helpful info. Thank you for sharing....

John, Thank you for the info. We are planing on having the davits extended (about 10") so we would be able to secure them to the bottom back rail of the aft bench. We are a little concerned that St. Croix does not use a stabilizer bar but they assure me that it is not an issue if the dinghy is ...

Our 2005 didn’t have davits when we purchased it. We are in the process of exploring our options - we are leaning towards either the Kato Island model or the St Croix rotating davits. We are planning for a West Marine 10’ dinghy and a Mercury 9.9 hp. Any thoughts, suggestions or recommendations woul...
