Photo is the new Phasor that's replacing the NL. The black on the left is the fuel pump. Next is fuel filter, and all the way on the right is oil...
LOL It was actually a last-minute subject when the lift driver asked where to put the old unit. After looking into converting it to land use I...
Decided to just replace it with a new 12.5 Phaser, with Kubota engine. Awaiting mechanic to finish the job after he broke it into ER hatch size &...
Spent 4 hours down there today. Traded a ticket for a ride so had no parking issues but I'm in the Last Show group. Dodging all the rain storms &...
For a dozen or so 6 month seasons I used to leave the 2 previous boats in the water with a dehumidifier on the galley counter with a short hose...
UPDATE: Generator mechanic FINALLY showed yesterday. Removing the NL in two parts via a "hidden" hatch above it and installing a new Phaser...
Did you look at mid 90's 46 Bertram. Only about a dozen built and only one on the market now. Totally different then the older 46.6 model.

I may have been expecting too much from the current hydraulic system so the plan is to check them with fish scale to see if they fall in the 5-7...
I had a "taste" of electric after repowering a Contender with a pair of new fly by wire Suzuki's; became spoiled & I suppose was expecting too...
Boat currently has a Hynautic hydraulic 3 station set up. Finally found a very knowledgeable mechanic who has a source for parts and rebuilt all...
Working fine on them all. Yard said they can be recoated without having to strip but not there yet.
The OP's post reminded me of the across my canal neighbors. Wife wanted, Wife wanted, Wife wanted. Hubby gave in and bought the one she wanted and...
I used to replace them now and then on the previous boat. Maybe age or maybe someone initially made them too tight.
Just two yrs. now since I had the bottom done and diver reports it's in good shape. Since I suspect they totally ruined Trilux a few yrs back...
