Hauled out to do new lips seals on my Cabo that has Bluewater shaft seals this past Sunday afternoon. Everything went great up until about 3pm...
There should be a battery switch near the thruster motor. I can't imagine there not being a switch. Sidepower recommends power being disconnected...
Smallest they make is 2 3/4 shaft. I have a 2 1/2 inch shaft. Scheduled haul out for an overnight hang at my marina on the 29th. Will see then...
As I look more at how much a PIA uncoupling the shaft will be and also that I am getting zero drips at rest it might be worth an overnight hang in...
Thanks guys. Have feeler gauges and will check when I do haul out. I have attempted to find play in shaft during previous haul out but never felt...
After finishing up a number of winter maintenance items on the boat I was looking forward to using the boat as spring approaches and being done...

Thanks guys for the opinions. I was working alongside my MAN mechanic yesterday finishing up cooling system maintenance and his comments were in...
Curious how often most change their main engine impellers. I have always done them annually. I typically see 125hrs a year on my main engines for...
Very nice. Your engines look to be in great shape. I was working with my MAN shop yesterday on my cooling system work we are starting Wed. I asked...
In the Sportfish market I follow you could go to 2012 and see almost same technology as 2015. Not a lot of marine innovation between 2012 and 2015...
Interesting thread and a number of different topics and conversations within the thread. I will add my 2 cents. In the Pacific Northwest when I am...
My Newmar died last summer and I too chose to not have them refurbish the unit. After looking around I replaced with the replacement model from...
They had a booth at Seattle Boat show and they claim proprietary microbial probiotic technology to help keep both black and grey water tanks clean...
Looks more like Furuno knock offs to me. I like to call my tech support team in Camas WA. Going to be a tough tech support call to Hong Kong.
