Sorry to hear you were ill. Hope all is well now. Didn’t mean to sound like a smart azz on my last post. Sorry.
Good idea! Oh wait, I did that already . See thread titled Watermaker and ER Monitoring recommendations.
I’m planning (hopefully) to install the water maker in the stbd Laz forward of the removable fish box. This will make it inconvenient to access...
Stbd engine came out today. Still have 20kw gen, old water maker, oil change pump and misc cables and junk to remove. Then ER will get deep...
