    Holding Tank Float Stuck

    One of the tricks I learned with my RV that had a stuck float was flushing a lot of ice cubes down the toilet with the tank 1/2 to 2/3 full, then taking a spirited ride. The Ice can act like sand blasting inside the tank and with a little luck free up the float. Also works to break solids off...

    Bone dry on mine too. Check for tub rings showing long term water ingress. Clean water no rings maybe from recent maintenance on through hull filters.

    Upgrade Clarion M255

    I tried the same thing, replace the whole unit and found the cabling was all different. I returned it and bought a blue tooth receiver. Powered it with the adapter AC but could also direct wire to DC. Then plugged the bluetooth receiver into AUX on the Clarion. "Found" the bluethooth on my cell...

    Salon and berth carpet protectors

    It doesn't seem Sea Ray has a horse in this race so I'll go with a custom job. Thanks for the input.

    Salon and berth carpet protectors

    My 2008 40MY came with a nice set of snap in carpet and step covers, however there are no receiving (male) snaps in the floor and all the pieces are undersized. The width is ok on the salon floor but length is short by 18" and each step is only covered on the front edge back about 6-8". I found...

    I looked at a Carver MY in the same size range as the 40MY. Actually had a purchase offer on a Carver with Volvo diesels but bailed after a survey. Hard to find Volvo techs in my area but generally the Carver 41My was a nice lay out. I noticed when I stepped on the Carver, however it would give...

    Not sure what makes newer or older but I'm working with original electronics on a 2008 vessel so would like to keep in the same or new revision date range for a second display.

    Adding a second E120

    Next to my E120 MFD at the helm is a big blank space begging for another display. E120's are only after market now and I don't want to do a major electronic refit. Is adding another resale E120 as simple as a power cable and then Seatalk or NMEA cable from the current unit to the new one so I...

    OK did my run through to figure out air horn not working. Connected my home supplied air compressor energized with 100 psi to the bilge air compressor tank with appropriate fittings and tried the horn...no go. I noticed air pressure was bleeding from somewhere as compressor lost air. I accessed...

    Is there a sender unit for rudder angle on Seacraft I need to look for at the linkage or does it leverage hydraulics somewhere else?

    Seaflush sounds like a good way to ensure upper evap unit is protected. I'm in Chattanooga. Winters are not severe but all I need is a few days of hard freeze to make for an unexpected Spring project.

    HI Al, This is the rudder angle display from the Smartcraft. I haven't tried the rudder angle indicator for Autopilot didn't know it had one. You jut gave me something else to try next weekend. I wanted the rudder angle indicator available for my admiral who tends to wheel steer rather than...

    All good procedures for winterizing. I'd like to hear what others have done to winterize the raw water network for the 3-4 A/C units. Don't like risking freezing the exchangers.
