Hi Mike, It sounds like you are trying to replace the roller wheel- if so you dont need to remove the whole stainless bracket, you only need to remove the wheel “axle”bolt. The bracket bolts have nuts that you can see from the chain locker access, but it looked tricky to actually get to them- so I w...

Shim it using stainless or G-10(fiberglass) so that it raises it just below the pan lip. In that position it is positively captivated and will transfer lateral and fore/aft loads into the pan. The 1g vertical loads will keep it where it needs to be and the pan sidewalls will take the relatively low ...

Hi Eddie, Welcome to the group! What kind of access plates did you use and what did you use to cut the tanks for them? Also, before installing the plates how did you know you had a problem, was this evident in the racors? Was fuel sitting in the tanks for a really long time? We are lucky enough to b...

I just renewed with geico. My agent was wrongly told they wouldn’t cover Bahamas during hurricane season but that is not the case! We will just need to call them with our travel dates and we are good.

These fit, i believe our cutouts are just greater than 2”.


West is always more $$ but it is noce you can trial fit…..


Sorry if i made you second doubt.

Just ran this rodeo..

Replaced both. One dismounted probably because of thermal expansion due to incadescent light.
- thermal stress cycles. I thought it was a turdy kid playing Around with it at first

Good luck!

We got the same Christmas surprise but a double whammy in our case since our Homeowners (Florida Peninsula) is also dropping us since they are getting out of the business of insuring Florida Coastal homes. Went to get homeowners quotes from other providers to find out that they won't even quote a ro...

Duane, I am also interested in the turbo wash method. And I also wanted to add to this thread that I had our 4-blade props re-pitched to 17x13 by Canaveral Propellers and we are now seeing 3750+ RPM. That is with a full load of fuel, water, dinghy, etc on our 2006 MV 34 with Yanmar 100 HP's. Thanks,...

Thanks for everyone's responses! It turns out we have other business to take care of over Christmas Break (moving my wife's business), so we won't make it this year. But I will revisit this thread when we get a chance to go. Another PDQ'er at my marina mentioned the 10,000 islands, shark river, and ...

We are looking to do the Florida loop over Christmas Break... leaving from Sebastian, FL and likely going through the Okeechobee Stuart to Ft. Myers,possibly visiting the Cayo Costa area, then south to Marco and 10,000 islands, maybe Everglades City, and then the Keys... and if weather cooperates th...

Wow, thanks for sharing your findings, the community appreciates it.

Looking forward to your write-up on how you removed and replaced them in situ!

Thanks,
Doug

I plan to replace our windscreen, and was wondering if anyone had a good source for the Lexan sheet. Also, what size is needed? Is it .177" thick, 48"x96" sheet in gray (Lexan 9034)? It looks like I can just remove the existing ones and use them as a template and use a router to cut t...

Thanks for the input! When I did a follow up check of the brushes, they were fine. At the suggestion of NL and helpful fellow PDQ owners, I flashed the field, a very simple procedure. Problem solved! Hi Randy, Can you post the procedure you followed to flash the field for our NL generators? It woul...
