Your system is plumbed similar to mine, except we have two Elegance heads feeding into the Electrosan. I also have a "Y" valve to a separate through hull fitting or to the holding tank. My macerator pump vacates the HT the same way your system does, no "Y" valve, but simply a breaker switch...

Have you tried opening the door (for a non back breaking lift hold), lift up the front such that the levelers clear the floor stop (in the picture) and pull into the room? This is how I was able to access my Splendide.

I have exclusively used DOCKWA (in the Northeast) without any issues. The downside may be that your CC is immediately charged upon confirmation from the Marina. A cancellation may result in less than a 100% credit if you are within the marina’s cancellation window. I always read the marina’s...

Response to another Marina app. I use the DOCKWA and have been very happy with it (as have the Marina managers I spoke with). Some things I think would be of assistance that I haven’t see on a regular basis include; 1. A dock/slip layout. Safe Harbor Essex Island has a great one on their web...

AP location Four years ago I replaced an old Robinson AP with a new Raymarine Axiom networked system. It has worked flawlessly after an initial installation issue. The issue was the location of the Autopilot Sensor. I had mounted the Sensor in a clean/dry and empty locker beneath a dinette...

My 1991 Jefferson 43 Marlago has twin 3208’s with approximately 2700 hours each. Both engines when cranked roar to life immediately, even after their winter nap. However, the starboard engine won’t crank until the port engine has run for a few minutes. Then she to starts immediately. Things I...

Is it possible I have a bad alternator as the port engine fires right up, but the starboard engine needs the port engine to run for a few minutes before cranking over?

I have left the Generator battery charger on while underway (the alternators are also charging) is this wrong?

I recommend the Thimble Islands off of Branford, CT. It’s about 50 miles from BI. There are several anchoring areas. If you do stop there, I recommend using the main channel beginning just west of Outer Island. The entire west side of the channel is the easiest anchoring and is protected by...

Anchor less than 30% Anchor less than 30% as we have a dog to get ashore!

Pictures of our 43' 1991 Jefferson with twin Caterpillar 3208 T's.

We truly loved the Albin as she was our first trawler. Went as far north as Bar Harbor, ME and Plattsburg, NY (tooh the Hudson/Champlain Canal waterways as opposed to the St. Lawrence. We've been south as far as the lower Chesapeake via the Chesapeake/Delaware Canal and outside. Has most of your...

I knew a Jeff Leonard from the Short Beach section of Branford. Would you be he? We were in Explorer scouts together--if my 74 year old memory serves!
