    Mine were stored at home since we bought the boat. Now there installed back in the lazarette as the boat is up for sale. We never traveled away from the states, so it would have been easy to retrieve them or have someone ship them to me. MUCH more room with the removed. The extra weight isn't...

    Carl, I was there all day today doing my aftercoolers. Should be back down on Monday weather permitting. You might want to wait until I put the breakfast back in place. It's sitting right in front of the fridges, and the floor is still out. Chris

    YES, They are the company that did my boat. Was quite pleased with the results. Pretty good article. Sorry for the delay in posting, apparently my notifications got turned off again. Loose nut on the keyboard probably. :):)

    Russ, Someone replaced them when the plastic one broke off. I should of gone that direction as well. Better sealing area than the 2 holes through the core. Do yo mean the caulk seam that runs around the edge of the fly bridge? It would be where the grab rail screws into the starboard overhead?

    TNT8808, That could be it. There is a few that look very similar. Got mine from marine max a bit cheaper than ebay. Still too expensive to me for a hunk of plastic. QT, That rub- rail that goes around the transom with the bullets is the only rail that is 110% completely encapsulated with caulk...

    Yup, the 2 christmas tree style pins that hold the bullet on, go right through the core to the inside. When we purchased the boat we were getting water splashed all over the aft port area in the lazarette. Took 2 people to find it. One driving and the other down in the hold. He actually got shot...

    No, It sounds kind of like a small wet/dry vac running inside the trailer. This trailer they brought required 220V 50 Amp. Although I don't think it drew that much. Attached are some pics of the remediation. Port side at the fuel tank area, Couldn't get to it from the inside 3rd Stateroom...

    Douglee25, I am gathering some pics to post. Their trailer is a 6x10 single axle enclosed trailer that's light enough to maneuver with one or two people. So it can be positioned close to the boat. The drying equipment is permanently installed inside it with power and hose connections coming...

    OK Here it is, I started it before I posted the one above. If I should start this as a new thread (moderators) let me know, and where to post it. Hi Carl, No, I was going to wait till after the Holidays, but I can get started now. First a brief history I had the boat sold end of last August...

    Hey Carl, Happy Holidays, I'm writing up a brief history to get this issue known and what you can do to fix it if it hasn't rotted or de-laminated yet. Boat is all done and dry. Had an issue with 2 areas that ended up giving us false readings with the moisture meters. I did the TV stanchions...

    My bridge switches are also rocker switches, not momentary. If your lights work with the bridge switch at the helm,then either you have a bad switch or a loose/broken wire at the other switch. JM2C , Happy Holidays:):)

    Keith, There are 5 zincs per engine and probably 2 on your Genny in the heat exchanger. (different size then mains) The 3196: 3 in the heat exchanger. One in the fuel cooler on the raw water supply side. (not on on the side between the cooler and the RW impeller. and one in the trans cooler...

    If the platform was operated just prior or during the engine running, it could still be that. Only reason I say this is cause it happened to mine a couple years ago. Firing up the engine moved the water around and showed the sheen coming from my ram. I have the TNT style not GHS. Either way it's...
