    Mystery part

    Alright this little guy comes right after my fuel selector knob for my generator. It is some type of marine fuel valve that states Fuel/TROL on it and has a normal and by- pass valve set screw. Its 12 volts and pushes 10 psi before it gets to the electric fuel pump on the genset. I'm guessing...

    Cross reference for Westerbeke genset parts

    Decided I won't worry about spark plugs in my life again. Bought wire, crimping tool, and terminals. 108 bucks from summit racing. Figure it will pay for it self in 5-10 years;) Thanks for the responses guys.

    Cross reference for Westerbeke genset parts

    Westerbeke Rant

    Well I found all the parts I needed for about 50 bucks. Wires, plugs, and a new ignition coil. Tad nervous about the coil, but then again iv interchanged them on plenty of 4cyl cars before. What would make the WB so precious that it requires a 200 ignition coil compared to a 30 dollar one? You...

    Westerbeke Rant

    How are these folks still in business? 117 dollars for 4 spark plug wires? I can buy a crimping tool, boots, connectors, and an entire spool of wire for this price. I wont even go into some of the other parts and associated prices that go with Westerbeke. I remember them being expensive, but...

    Aft AC breaker trips

    Alright taken me a while to get this to project. I have two other AC units on the boat so it hasn't been vital. Looking to sell though and want everything working. It seems to be pulling the correct amps looking at the meter. Maxs out the second I hit the switch and down to 20 or so the same way...

    New hot water heater

    heat exchanger is typically used for cooling the jacket water in a system... So I would say no. Not sure how your boat is set up, but you might have some lines on or near the heat exchanger that can be used to heat the water heater if not using electricity.

    UPDATE! I'm back from deployment....wish I could of stayed down en sur America! Anyways decided to call a mechanic out since this is beyond me. Went over the entire thing with him and he was a bit perplexed. Did a couple of tests such as peeping in through the sparkplugs, listening and feeling...

    Favorite LED suppliers?

    Thank you guys superbright LEDs got the majority of my business. I do have a quick question though. I ordered all 12volt lights to match up with the ones I'm replacing. My question is can I splice into these same 12 volt lines and add a couple of additional lights? What if I buy two 6vdc leds...

    Aft AC breaker trips

    Used to work just fine and my mid and forward ac/heat systems work just fine. I have very limited electrical knowledge, but enough to know how not to shock myself and use a voltmeter. Where should I start to diagnose this issue? I'm thinking of pulling the panel off and looking behind just to...

    Topside painting...DIY? Or pay?

    Did my aft end this afternoon with Zep High traffic floor(replacement name for Red Max Pro) Looks great, and will try to post some pics. Curious to see how long it will last, but if I could get away with applying a coat of this every 6 months for the next few years I'd be happy. This is...

    Topside painting...DIY? Or pay?

    Been reading up on it and thinking I'm going to give this a try. Few comparisons on the RV boards with Red Max Pro and Poliglow and seems the Red Max is the better product. Nothing to lose anymore, if it doesn't work I will have to paint. Thanks for the tip, I'm pretty excited to try and bring...

    Anyone painted their shore power cord?

    Mines pretty raggedy and I'm not spending 500 dollars on a new one. I'm thinking or using the vinyl/plastic rattle can paint that I used to redo my bumpers.

    Topside painting...DIY? Or pay?

    Been away on a deployment for a while so been neglecting my boat. Figured I'd update this just so people know. Vaseline works fine....for about a month. Don't waste your time applying it unless your trying to pull a fast one or in need of a quick shine for less then a month.
