As mentioned above spectrum at https://spectrumcolor.com/. Call them regarding a repair kit. They also have good videos on youtube on how to. Even if the color is slightly off you will not see it after a season. Best of luck

Yes, different materials need different paints. You can not put your standard paint on an outdrive or within an inch or so of the drive. I used petite zinc spray on the metal (except outdrive) rudder / shafts / trim tabs but the tabs where steel.

I think either way for your situation you will be fine. If they have lasted 4 years and lasted good, I would use the same. A new charger that takes into account the battery type and charging cycle for each is also a good idea. My only caveat is that I would swap one bank now and the other at the...

In total how many batteries do you have? How long have they lived on the boat? I think you would be fine with deep cycle batteries for your house. Normally dual purpose / starting batteries are for the engines batteries (they can support high amperage for cranking for a short bit). If you have...

Try the following: PS I used them for my lettering, it was as promised. Best of luck Whoops didn't see your response till now

Wow, I guess one of them was misfiring, are you getting 60 hertz? Regarding the wiring my best guess is something is loose for it to stop working remotely.

Is plugs = spark plugs or capacitors? 110 under load or no load? The voltage will drop a little with load, that is normal. Mine without load is 120-124 volts. Under heavy load / the AC on it runs about 116-117 volts. Something similar when I am on shore power. So as long as things are running...

3 pick ups with one pumping unit, one for the center bilge and 1 for both compartments around the rudders. It does work quite well but is slow. I bought it for convenience. I looked at pumps and figured it would be at least 100-150 for parts plus the timing circuit but at least a few hours (and...

https://www.neptunianskyllc.com/product-page/bilge-b-dry-mobile I purchased it last year, have it about 6 months. It does work but pumps out slowly. If you allow it to run a few minutes a couple of times daily it does do the trick. Best of luck

No he just needs Samuel L Jackson...maybe he just does planes though

Penetrating epoxy would be another alternative but you would have to do that hole pattern RWS did on his boat from the top and then figure out how to cover it.

congrats on your purchase

You are right it is not, bigger pisser is finding a yard that will let you do your own painting.

That wouldn't be a little fee, most around here charge 10%. That would be over 100K on a boat over 1 million dollars which this boat would be worth.

Coolant- whatever the maintenance book says, I think for mine it doesn't specify so I use the 5 year pink stuff from mercury that I use for the engines. With regards to the capacitor, I bought the original set through westerbeke, the part numbers are on the side and you can then purchase them...
