Re: Rocna Anchror Question /Chain size
I think you should get the Rocna 20. The boat weighs a lot more loaded. Great anchor!

Re: SOSpenders-Inflatable PFD's
Terri I have the westmarine sospenders. I don’t know if they are the same as your sospenders. I got them early 2000. The cartridge has 3/8 threads with 38 grams of CO2. The replacement cartridge I have is called ‘rearming kit 38RP-1’ I can’t remember where I got them from. The replacement cartridge ...

Re: Electric winch installation
Terri After thinking about it,I decided to take your advice and get the e-wincher !! It seems well-designed. According to the specs the battery lasts for at least a day's sailing. I also liked the fact that it only takes a few amps to recharge the battery. Another issue is that the installation of t...

Electric winch installation
I am thinking of installing an electric winch on the starboard side on top of the cabin, and I hope someone can help me out with some questions that I have. I am thinking of getting the Lewmar EVO electric 40 from the Defender. They seem to have good prices. 1. The current winch is a 32 but the smal...

Re: Replace discharge Pipe from Head
I did not remove any panels. I shoved my hand behind and up on the top of the holding tank. It was okay for short durations, and the long knife helped. The hose was very badly stuck on the barbed fitting and it took me a while to remove a sufficient amount so I can pull it out.

Re: Replace discharge Pipe from Head
I replaced the discharge hose last year. It is attached to a barbed connector on top of the holding tank. I used a heat gun very sparingly and a long kitchen knife. It needs a lot of patience. Good luck !

Re: Alarm buzzer mystery
I have to admit that I liked that fast pulsating sound. It was a good feedback that it was working. Anyway I am happy that I don’t have to do any more work on this. An interesting data point that I would like to share with the members is that when the circuit switch is disconnected, that is, no curr...

Before the lightning strike, in the glow plug position, it made the same beep beep sound but much faster.

Alarm buzzer mystery
The boat was hit by a lightning, and it took out the low pressure/high temperature alarm buzzer and the circuit breaker attached to the glow plugs solenoid. I don’t know if anything else got fried, but the engine seems to be working fine. I replaced the alarm buzzer, the key switch, the glow plug so...

Faria tach/hour
Has anybody installed the FARIA BEEDE 32834 Euro Tachometer with Hourmeter (4000 RPM) Diesel - 4"". I thought I will give it a try before I buy the $350 tach. (As long as I do not install it, I can return it). It looks straightforward, but I am confused with the white setting button (1-6)....

Re: Bilge Pump System
It's a good idea to check if it works, and I need to do the same too instead of taking it for granted. I don't think my bilge pump has a check valve. I cant remember what I have, but I think it's a Rule. What type of pump do you have, and where is the check valve???

This is a very pretty table. You are not thinking by any chance of ... making a few more ??? I was actually curious about the length of the stool, which is against your bulkhead. Mine is a little longer and when placed against the bulkhead it sticks out. Did it come like this or you made it shorter ...

Re: Racor filter change
My understanding is that it is self-purging. I keep the key to the glow position for about 20 seconds and then I let the engine run for a while to make sure that the air has been purged. I was told to fill up the filter with diesel, so I always keep a small amount of diesel in a water bottle.

Re: Exhaust Manifold
If I take out the brass elbow that screws into the manifold, I don't see where the coolant enters the manifold unless that orifice is clogged with calcium deposits. If it is clogged, I want to know where that clog is so that I can clear it. Does anyone know if the coolant orifice is a straight shot...

Re: Exhaust Manifold
I had the same issue with the brass elbow. It was always blocked and the level in the expansion tank would not change. A mechanic told me that the accumulation of calcium that blocks the hole is due to the dissimilar metals and he advised me to use indian head. So far it has been clean of calcium. I...
