I am coming to this thread very late. The only thing I did not see mentioned is that I believe these are tapered shafts. My 2000 410 had a shaft with a bad taper that took weeks to sort out. It seems to me that the shaft may not have been inserted all the way into the coupler OR there was a...
I had a Good Windlass on my prior boat, a Mainship. From what I read its best to buy the rode directly from Good Windlass. They are in New Jersey. Others may work but why take the chance.
I just bought from them this summer, I just checked the site and they are having a 50% off sale $357 for the ladder I jut paid $715 for. GO GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE ON SALE

This one is new to me, can you elaborate? Gorilla instant glue or the wood glue, do you fill the holes and then redrill the pilot holes? Thank you Scott
I use Chase it gets compromised at least 1-2 times per year. I have never been responsible for any unauthorized charges so I am OK with their service. On the other hand my daughter had identity stolen and 3x permitted withdrawals from her account AFTER the fraud department was notified. We live...
A camera is good but for the situation described I doubt it would be helpful. You would need to have the video scree "on" instead of navigation, even in a window I would expect that generally being aware of your surroundings ans a quick look back would be the most effective way of navigating.

Question about electrical settings when 410 left unattended. When you park a 410 DA and its not being used do you shut off battery switches or leave them on? I have done both. Last week I left the batteries engaged with shore power on and batteries engaged. All breakers (12v and 120v) were...
According to my Diesel mechanic CAT now recommends a 200 degree thermostat. I just ran mine for 11 hours straight wit no issues whatsoever. I think its burning slightly cleaner but cant say for certain.
Update: The battery was fine when I try to start or or engage the preheat the fuel solenoid clicks rapidly like the battery is low and voltage at the gen drops to 5v. I used a jumper cable from the neg battery to the generator frame and it turns over fine. So its definitely a bad ground. Can...
