    Does anyone know how to access the horn (is it an air horn or electric)? I can hear it click when engaged so it must be getting power. As best I can tell it says "AFI". Looks impossible to access from the round inspection plate on the bow ' ' '

    Has anyone replaced the AC unit in the salon? Looks like interference in the form of sofa framing must be removed. What kind of job is that? Thanks for your help.

    So no one has installed a JMP pump. I don't have a problem getting the impeller out. with the puller bolt, although it's slow work, it's getting the new one in-aliening the key and pressing the impeller in place. I put a new Sherwood pump on two years ago and on it the keyway slot is not cut to...

    Cat 3126 raw water pump

    We all agree that the impeller on the stb engine pump is a bitch to replace. I was at the Work Boat Show in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago and looked at an exhibit by JMP Products, a Korean mfg who makes a plug and play replacement for the Sherwood pump that has a spline shaft instead of a...

    Tridata depth

    Had the same issue a couple of years ago. Not much chance getting the old Raytheon piece fixed. I bought a new Raymarine tri-data that was a plug and play. Did have to cut the hole a little larger however.

    Windshield Vent Molding/ Actuator Vent Molding

    Go to a gasket company and buy closed cell gasket. 1 1/4 " wide x 7/8" thick works perfect for mine. A fraction of the cost of the Taylor Made gasket.

    Anyone need this bracket. I bought a new one because the bolt was frozen and I was sure it would twist off. Painted it white ready to install and after two weeks soaking in penetrating oil the bolt came out. The Cat part number printed on the bracket is 7E-7273. I'll take $150 and ship it to US...

    Frank, hope you and everyone else in the Panama City/Apalachicola area came out OK. That was a bad one and came up so quickly there wasn't much time to prepare. Good luck to everyone.

    5 second vacuflush kerplunk

    There are many threads posted on this subject. Before you go pulling the vacuum generator, replacing duck bills, etc. locate the leak by sealing off the pump in different places. One of the first places to look is the elbow coming out of the tank-a simple fix, but its easy to seal off the pump...
