On the off-chance... remove the wires from the compressor terminals, clean up the posts and the wires, put it all back together and see if that...
With that kind of budget, I think I'd be looking at Viking, Hatteras, Hinckley, Sabre and a few other brands like that... (Alden, if they're still...
We installed Groco flush valves on raw water systems for ACs, genset, and both mains (latter three ahead of the engine's raw water pump) and they...
We've never had to get a one-way rental from airports. Weekly rates are usually better than daily rates, even if you don't need the extra days....
Thanks, all, I appreciate the help... and I think I understand now what further info I'll need if we decide to pursue that one any further. -Chris
Ummm... good point. Don't know. Not wanting to ask him further about it, just yet... -Chris
A candidate boat had some hull damage in Hurricane Sandy. No structural damage but a couple other boats laid against it for a two days. The...
Those come with an issue, though. On ours, shifting with trolling valves engaged is discouraged... and disengagement isn't an instantaneous thing...

Thanks, guys, very useful. And I'm in touch with some Volvo/IPS folks, getting better info now... so I'll get back with factoids... One I've...
Yeah, haven't tracked down local IPS specialists, yet... Partly due to lock-down, partly because the Volvo-Penta dealer locator doesn't speak...
I'll maybe have to rent a 12-year-old. :) The "deck seal" would be the "steering seal"? And the "one behind the prop" would be the "propshaft...
Heh. I've played a computer game with joysticks approximately 0 (zero) times in my life. Trying to occasionally aim our current spotlight with...
Thanks, Carl. I, for one at least, had read those threads... and a boatload of others from various places... but it's easy enough to have missed...
