PDQ OWNERS FORUM

I am a cool or cold weather wimp but I can take all the heat mother nature can throw at me.

Mac,

Got it. I am sure it is a great system to have out there and I like the idea of the separate zones. By the way, when it drops below 80 I grab a jacket.

Mac, I am with John, there is nothing like that on my 2006. I am assuming someone wanted to have an unlimited supply of hot water at anchor without running the generator when they had that one installed on your boat. Is that hot water only or does it provide heat also? Either way, the prior owner pr...

Thanks John. I sure don't have anything there. I think I am saltwater only.

Alan

Duane,

I feel a bit silly asking but where is the fresh water wash down fitting? I haven’t seen it so I am either blind or it was an option that our boat does not have.

We have had our boat for just about three years and for the first two had problems with the starboard side Tides Marine shaft seal leaking. We had both seals them replaced at Stuart Yacht. Gregg said they had replaced them less than three years earlier for the prior owner. Stuart did not feel we had...

Thanks Bob. My 2006 has the same problem and I have been trying to figure how to tackle the job.

Alan

Mac, I think you are asking how to route the wiring. Parts of this job will require a helper. Start in the starboard engine stateroom. Inside the forward inboard storage cabinet there is a recessed fiberglass shelf, remove the six or eight screws take it out. Once out you will see a lot of wiring he...

Tim, I am sorry I didn't respond to your first post. We have been having a problem for several months with notifications from the forum being sent to spam. I change the settings and things are okay for a while, then back to spam. I would have said it is very likely to be a shorted out heating elemen...

Bill, On our boat, the fuel gauges come on from a breaker on the DC sub panel labeled instruments. Was it on? If so, I would check to be sure there is power coming out of the breaker. On the fuel spill, it can be a challenge to not get some spitting when filling our boat. I try to really slow the pu...

Thank you all for the input. I also heard separately from James Power. Perhaps our boat was unusual with an 18K unit. James says he has replaced multiple with 16K. I did some more measuring and the only 18K 115 volt available is probably not going to fit as it is 1.5 inches taller than the one we cu...

Help please. I didn't get any replies to this post. We need to replace the salon a/c unit. Ours is a 18,000 BTU CruiseAir. I can only find one 115 volt 18K BTU unit and it is a Dometic which now owns CruiseAir. It does not come with a control head. The unit is rather expensive. There are several 16,...

We the same rust problem in the pans of both a/c units that has been written about before on the forum. The bottom of the compressors are also rusty. No leaks yet but I am planning to go ahead and replace the salon unit and maybe both. I don't think replacing the pan would be a great option with the...

Congratulations Tim. I know it was not easy.

Tim, I have not had the problem you are referring to but I had to replace the starter on the port side. The starter itself was fine in my case, it was only the solenoid that is mounted to the starter. It seems to me there are two solenoids on the starting system, one on the starter and one tucked aw...
