    I replaced mine with the Warner linear units linked above... nearly a straight forward swap, but I needed to get some stainless steel extension sleeves as the diameter of the actuator is just a few mm bigger.... Any stainless Shop can provide this. They work much better and sound very...

    Man are boat prices going up

    One problem with a the new boaters selling their covid boat once they realise boating isn't for them, is that how much of the missed or ignored maintenance items will have ruined these boats. Boats that would otherwise have been a careful and considered purchase by people who love...

    Engine Hatch with Dead Batteries

    ...and you are The Hulk/Superman.... The hatch is very heavy!! I think also you can provide power directly to the hatch actuators using the cigar lighter socket at the helm... I've never tried it though.

    Blower or no blower?

    EIM to Toggle and Rocker Switches

    Does anyone have any photos of the insides of the eim modules? I bet it wouldn't be very hard to replace the failed logic devices with some similar microprocessors ( like Arduino) and create a retrofit PCB. Or if anyone has a failed donor board id be happy to have a go at it.
