Yesterday, 2020 got a whole lot better! For years I've been here on CSR reading and learning all I could from so many experts. At the top of that list are two that I thought maybe I would be blessed to meet someday, but assumed it was unlikely - Capt Rust Higgins and Frank Webster. Both have...
For anyone in the Baltimore-Washington Metro, Hydratec in Baltimore is your place to go for hydraulic and machining work. This is not an ad but a personal recommendation. Last year they rebuilt the hydraulic cylinders for our swim platform and this year they rebuilt the hydraulic pump. The...
Wondering if anyone has experience and advice on programming my SMX II control pads for AC units? I'd like to reset the fan to intermittent operation (only when the compressor runs) but the process in real life doesn't seem to work the way the instructions in the SMX manual describe. For...
After the RLC80 MFD failed, we decided to upgrade all the electronics and have some of the old that still works. The radio is original and is complete including manual. Really not sure how to price these but if you're interested, let me know and we can arrange shipping etc. Located in Annapolis.
We have a 2002 460DA with a Nautical Structures hydraulic transom lift that blew a seal on the main cylinder on the port side. After limping back to port, being passed by sailboats all the way, some friends helped lift it back up into locked position. To do that, we disconnected all of the lines...
The major improvement for this spring is completely re-upholstering the cockpit of our 2002 460DA. The original is white and that makes for an overwhelming amount of bright white. We like the color combinations being used in the new boats, particularly the 510 and 510 Fly (that the local dealer...
We went to boat on Friday and found that the Norcold DE-461 fridge decided to retire. I've found two models that fit the cutout perfectly, the Norcold DE-0061 and Vitrifrigo DP2600i. Specs are comparable but I've seen negative reviews on the new Norcolds.
Does anyone have experience with...
It's finally in!! And I'll bet it's the first new Raymarine eS128 installed on the East coast. Still need to come up with the right way to dress the old hole from the RL80C, but new electronics are complete.
Well we're nearly complete with a complete refresh of our 2002 460 DA. Two new RECON Cummins 6CTAs, a new Onan 11.5 kW genset, stripped bottom and running gear with new barrier coat, bottom paint and propspeed, all new Raymarine electronics including the first eS128 on the East cost (possibly...
