Thank you, very helpful. Honestly I think part of the reason it is so cheap is the guy really wants to move it, the gelcote turns people off, and...
Hoping Capt J will weigh in here as he’s commented on these models previously (I’ve read all the threads several times) but would welcome other...
IMO the best thing about an inverter is the peace and quiet at anchor. I’ve got an inverter and solar (installed by PO) but generally run my...
Ended up pressing the easy button and ordering 3 odyssey AGMs to replace the worst marine lead acid 8D’s for the inverter. We’re considering...
Following up, two of the four turbo studs were indeed broken. The tech who drilled them out pointed out the same thing I noticed - the flange nuts...
Ditto. I have the same boat and am tempted to add an active tab system. Talked to the sea keeper people at the Stuart boat show this weekend....
I definitely like the idea of getting the inverter out of the engine room! I fried my previous inverter with reckless water spray. That closet...
I have three 8D batteries powering my inverter. For some reason the PO used dual purpose batteries. At a minimum I’ll be switching to deep cycle...
It’s just a theory. My other theory is, boat.
Yes a previous tech installed flange nuts instead of the spec’d combination of nut+spring washer+washer. This was the same person who wired my...
I think I’m gonna call this quits. The more I look at these studs I think at least the bottom one is actually broken off inside the turbo housing....
Well it should come as a surprise to no one that you were right Ralph. Once I could get in and get a closer look I found two of the four studs on...
I don't see how the cooler inlet could have moved since it's got six bolts holding it on but I take your point. What's extra weird is that I have...
Hey folks. Family headed to the keys for a quick Christmas vaca. Boat was running great until just north of Stuart we heard a sucking/whistling...
Searching a bit more online I found a thread from 12 years ago where someone had the exact same problem- even saw deterioration on a new pump...
On the road now but will check on both these questions. It seems if there was an interfering bolt more teeth would be broken. In any case, i think...
The plot thickens. I just removed the raw water pump from the other engine, and it has the exact same damage. One chipped tooth, and a wear...
I doubt the new air filters are your problem but if you want to rule them out just take them off and run the boat. Make sure your engine room is...
I’m gonna start this project shortly. Considering starting with a CPES since it’s a window frame. Wondering if this is necessary on the interior?...
Sounds like I should try a new diver
