    Different years. Different switch order.
    I was talking about replacing the LED indicator light on the bilge switch to be fair...

    Yea, I think I was the one that kicked off the bilge led issue. I'm sure the order doesn't matter, can be assembled either way. But there is one right way! I just need to figure out which way it is....

    For the fellows in cold weather areas roughly how many bottles of antifreeze do you guys normally use in the hot and cold water system?

    Zero.... after draining the water tank and hot water heater empty, I set my compressor to 40lbs and blow out the sinks, showers, wash downs, wiper supplies, etc with air.

    What are you up to now? You just can’t stop doing projects, renovations or upgrades. Lol….

    We are at the FLBS and I’m looking for my next project/boat.

    So since the seat are off getting redone it was time to tackle the needed seat spacers I have been wanting for some time. $100 bucks of aluminum stock from Amazon, chop saw and drill press work ended up with a simple 2” lift kit that should get me where I want to be.

    Was hoping that someone could help out with a quick question. I'm winterizing this coming Sunday/Monday. Does anyone have the filter for the V-Drives handy? I don't have a chance to go to the boat before Sunday and I would like to have it on hand when I arrive at the boat.

    On my spreadsheet of fluids & filters, I have a Fleet Guard LF701, but I put a (?) next to it. Just looking for confirmation or a substitute.

    Thanks,

    Jaybeaux

    701 is correct

    ocgrant I did this as well back in 2017, raised them with 4" blocks. Here are a few pics for your reference.

    I'm 5'-11", and ended up going with 3". Worked out perfect.

    3 seasons and approx 230 hrs on these.
    Not bad I think!
    I do fresh water flush religiously. No idea if it helps but sure can't hurt
