I don't remember exactly how, but there are screws on mu '98 400DA. If I get up to the boat in the next couple of days I will take a picture, otherwise someone else might remember. I am positive I took it out for the NMEA cable and also for another project.

I can't see what boat you have, but I ran a NMEA cable from the helm to the stereo in the cabin. Take apart the dash. Get a couple of good flashlights. You will see cables running up into the cabin. Get a metal fish tape and run it up along those cables. On my boat the midcabin head is in the...

This is what was left of my impeller, and it explains why it wouldn't work on the port engine or generator. It also got me wondering where the broken fins would go if I was pumping oil in instead of out. No fins were left in the pump.

I'm curious whether anyone has experience with the impeller on the OP-7 lasting longer than the OP-6? The impeller on my 25-year old OP-6 seems to fail every year, and it is a pain to replace it because of where the unit is located. I'm considering replacing it with an OP-7, in the hopes of...

Have you opened it? I was expecting gallon jugs but it seems like it is a bag.

I bought the 3 gallon pack at walmar

Here is what I ordered at the time. Looks like it is out of stock but it will give you an idea of what to search for. Kcpbl Plastic Blender for Nutone Built in Food Center 250, 251 and the Kitchen Center Power Base https://a.co/d/iLEpeux The blender says Ktichen Center 888-822-5824.

Was there any conclusion to the great oil debate from last fall? After reading 40 pages of this thread I still can't tell whether the Shell Rotella T4 15W-40 that I used last year is still OK.

Another option is to search for a licensed marine surveyor in the area and hire them to review the boat, let you know condition, and do a video walk through. Yes, it will cost you sone $$, but you will get an educated, objective opinion on the boat.

Just call Comcast directly. I did that a few years ago when I first set up my cable and internet. The marina had an "open house" with a Comcast rep that "handled" the account, but I figured out all they do is take a commision so I set up my service directly, and set it up each year directly...

Call Dometic. They were able to match direct replacements for my 98 400DA last summer.

Yes, I was asking about true depth.

I'm more asking about draft in the harbor with props spinning. Agree with you 100% at anchor.

What do you all consider a "safe" draft for your boats? I know the spec draft is 3' 6", but how close would you be comfortable cutting it for your channel and slip?

LPT: Ask how much something costs before you buy it.

My launch date is 4/1, as long as the ice is gone and the harbor is open. Haul date is 11/1. For me, summer is too short not to use it all.

I guess I'm the outlier. I have Sirius in 2 cars and the boat. It's $25 a month total or something like that, so I don't sweat it. I have a Fusion and find that the BT connection is hit and miss, having Sirius just works better. That being said, I've almost abandoned Sirius for Pandora.

I saw the Sea Doo product at a boat show last year. It is kind of a cool idea, but seems a little quirky and cheap. The units I saw were really designed to be modular, almost like putting together legos or those modular docks you see. Since everything was plastic it was a little hard to...

I use the blue Camco drinking water hose for the city water into the boat. https://www.camco.net/hoses/camco-evoflex-25-foot-rv-marine-drinking-water-hose-22594. I'm very happy with it after 3 years. It stays flexible and doesn't get gunky. I have a 10' lead of that hose that I leave...

I feel you man. I went up and walked around the harbor on Monday, that helped a bit, but still grey and chilly. The boat show is this week. That may give you a little bit of relief. Even if you don't need anything, the smell of fresh fiberglass is always nice. If you have the means, it...
