FWIW I don't think our shower faucets are rebuildable from the top side. I'm really not looking forward to taking our fridge back out.
 
What am I doing wrong, closed on my boat Wednesday, took delivery, went out this evening and the factory stereo will not play.?..? It is the factory unit, the unit will come on and let you select a channel, but no sound...
Haven’t tried a CD yet, if I can find one!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Call the previous owner and ask them.
 
So went to use the shower today and ran into several issues. Main berth shower didn’t work. Barely got any water out of it. Using the freshwater system with both pumps on. Head and sink have good water pressure. Thinking the shower head is clogged. Thoughts?

So then I went to the guest shower. Had good pressure BUT the shower door wont close. Looks like it doesn’t fit the opening. The door Extends almost an inch past frame. Thoughts?

Ended up using the marina showers. Lol.

If any individual faucet doesn't work but the others do, it's usually a clogged screen.

The guest head shower hinges outward. So get in the shower, swing the two panels away from the wall, push the hinge edges out to almost a right and slip the end into the fixed panel. Watch out for pinching the family jewels. This shower door is a hazard to them.

The guest head shower hinges inward. So get in the shower, swing the two panels away from the wall, pull the hinge edges into you to get the open end into the fixed panel. Then push the center away from you to close it. Watch out for pinching the family jewels. This shower door is a hazard to them.
Yep, I understand how it works. Problem is obvious when I put the end into the fixed panel that it would not fit. I pushed it closed with it next to the panel and it extended about 1” past the fixed panel.

Roger. Sorry but I wrote the explanation wrong in the previous post. I just fixed it.

Can you post a picture of the problem? With it hinged all the way out you should be able to pull the vertical edge left as far as you need to in order to get it to mate with the fixed panel.
 
Hi fellow 400 dB owners, I am new to this group, I was wondering in the 145 pages if anyone recalls if there is a Sattelite TV Install topic with lessons learned Any help would be appreciated.
 
It's the alarm connected to the System Monitor. If your System monitor is original the display may not be readable. It tells you why the alarm goes off. Often it's the high water bilge pump or the forward bilge pump in the cabin
Thanks "Drafter" and Bill "ZZ13" for the help... I think I traced the fault, indeed, to water in the bilge and, furthermore, to a leaking fitting on the accumulator (see attached pic)... I repaired the leak, emptied the bilge water and we have peace and quiet again... sincere thanks!

I installed the KVH TV1 on mine. Be glad to talk you through it. I mounted it on the arch which means the radar mount will block the signal at a nw boat heading. So if you don't want that you will have to get a mount extension above the radar dome.
 
Did you go with the extended mount Bill? Also, did you mount the box on the Starboard or Port wher the Stereo is. I know the TV’s splitter is behind the sofa but the cabinet where the TV is mounted is empty. Quick check this weekend and there is no opening in the arch on the starboard side. Also need to pick up the 12 volt somewhere.
 
One problem solved and another manifests... "someone" was a little heavy-handed with one of the sliding doors in the kitchen (above the coffee maker) and it's "stuck" closed (see pic)... can't open the left hand door... before I use brute force and ignorance, has anyone got any experience of a more elegant/delicate solution as to how to get the door "back on track" so-to-speak?

I have the factory sun pads. I can take a pic for you and some measurements when I make it back down to the boat, which should be Thursday. The factory pads are three pieces that zip together and Velcro over the rails on the sun deck. I will snap a photo of all three pieces together and apart so your canvas guy can get the idea of what he is looking at. I take measurements also.
Pictures and measurements would be great... at least something for my canvas guy to work with... much appreciated... when you have a moment

I agree with CaptRonn to Google the manual if you don't have one, but you may want to consider:
- Fader - on my boat FRONT was Cockpit/Flybridge and REAR was Salon/Stateroom
- if inside works but outside doesn't, could be the amp (under the sofa?) - see my recent post on stereo upgrade for more details
...I've also attached the (limited) troubleshooting section of the manual (you may want to try the reset button?) as well as Sea Ray's wiring diagram to show how the amp was wired at the factory, in case that helps?

Good luck!
Simon

I mounted the antanna where the air antenna was and moved the air antenna to the port side of the arch. I mounted the TV Hub on the inside of the compartment door behind the sleeper sofa. I disconnected the existing cable to the salon TV, from the splitter there and connected it to the TV Hub. That way you use the existing cable to the TV and don't have to run a new cable. I then connected the other end of that cable to the direct tv receiver.

So I still use the over the air antenna for the TVs in the two staterooms.
 
Thank you Bill! I’ll let you know how the progress goes.
Also I connected power and ground for the tv hub to the stereo amp under the sofa. That was an easy run of the wires under the sofa. And also since the amp is connected to the "electronics" switch on the breaker panel, you can use that switch to cycle power to the tv hub without having to flatten the sofa and open the compartment door.

I am pretty sure I put pics in this thread. It would have been around January of 2016.

What company manufactured your dish system? Is it HD? If not has Direct TV contacted about upgrading your receiver to HD?
