You had me until the holding tank part…. Ha ha ha

Glad you tracked down the issue. Well done.

Make sure your AC Pan under the salon couch is draining into the sump. If the drain hole is clogged and the pan is full of water, that is most likely the culprit. This happened once on my 2001 410da. as per above dtfeld post: 2. You main AC is under the settee to starboard. It may be...

So sorry I had to miss this bahamas trip. Keep sending pics, allowing me to live vicariously thru you. Hope you all have a great time! Jeff P.S. Send my regards to Larry Q.

Boat Guy, Very good, helpful video. I am curious, how has that inexpensive vent actuator held up? Thanks, Jeff

As murphy’s law would have it, the genius I mentioned above, broke my Norcold during Covid. Fortunately I work part time at West Marine, but unfortunately there were zero frigs in stock, so there goes my employee discount. After many calls and google searches I found a Vitrifrigo. Would have...

I went the easier DIY way and just replaced the compressor. I think it was approx $700 for a new compressor quite a few years ago, but saved me well over $1,500 since I wasn’t gonna DIY the frig replacement. Compressor is an easy install. Just remove screws on side of frig and slide it out...

Great game last night - FAU, FAU, FAU! UConn/Gonzaga was a great game too, until it wasn’t. Gonzaga couldn’t buy a 3 pointer! Is it just me, or is the 3 pt shooting a bit too much. I know its hard to do all the work to get 2, when the other team is dropping 3’s, but the 3’s just weren’t...

FAU!! Great game!

Wow, embarrassing, I have been out of the workforce too long. I had to look up SOP. :(

Always looking to expand my knowledge, especially on my boat. Thank you!

I am trying to understand this. Are those exhaust pipes adhered to the fiberglass hull, and those cracks are the exhaust separating from the fiberglass? Are those fiberglass exhaust pipes? I guess with a solid fiberglass hull, this just means water getting into the bilge? But if your hull...

If all I was used to is deep water channels, then I too would not be comfortable seeing less than 6’. But if you run your boat in areas like the Great South Bay (the “sandbox”) in Long Island, NY, Southeast Florida, and the Florida keys, you quickly get used to seeing less than 6’ under your...

On a separate note, if those are the original CO2 alarms, you need to purchase new ones. The new ones have a longer life (approx 10 years), but they don’t last forever.

Or, you have a faulty bilge pump continuously running.
