Thx Blue. Given Electrical is my kryptonite looks like I may need to get some help.

Thx. Heading out to boat next weekend and will try this.

Glad it’s working. Wanted to echo that all bellows are not equal and suggest spending a few more bucks for OEM version. There is also a one way check valve on many of those tanks that lets overflow outta the tank. Top of it is a is a sponge that can hold odor if ever soaked. Final oddity...

Good ole captain Chris taught me in 2017 to only use liquid soap in shower and not bar soap. Never saw the scum issue. Also dumping vinegar in the drain every time we leave the boat sitting seems to help. Finally, we have little screens on each drain and empty after each shower. Amazing...

Checked last weekend. The clean out of the Fwd AC condensation drain tube did its job. Bone dry under there. Other three bilges also bone dry. Had to vac some water out of aft sump pump which sees daily use. Will tighten clamps to see if that solves it or if I have a slow leak from...

Fellow user of Collonite amd works great but I hear Mr Myagi in my head every time I use it. I’m gonna try NuFinish this season. Thx for the post.

Mainship 430 but guessing same on 400 . It draws from the fresh water tanks. Under the helm station, way up front on the port side you will see a pump and two clear 1/4 or 3/8”tubes running to inside of the windshield sprayers.

I noticed the Xantrax Freedom SW 3000w inverter would hold back the generator output for a while until the output dropped. It now can take almost 5 minutes output starts about 140v and then will bounce around a bit in the 130-140 range until it settles into a safe 120- ish range for the...

Thx Frye. Ordered one on eBay. I think the PO just took a straight hose and bent it into an S. That was what threw me. Really appreciate the PDF and have stored on iPad. Will go back and look up what zinc to get next. Cheers!

I have checked the archives but cannot find the part number and source for the hose that needs to be removed to get to the zinc anode on a Koehler 8EOZ. Pic below and any help appreciated. I

No thruster on this boat.

You are correct. It happened stateside in Titusville. Would hate to experience myself. As an old IT guy we spent a lot of time defining root cause of any failure before proceeding with anything. Truly a tough situation for anyone.

LOL, I just pulled mine out and threw away to put inverter batteries in it’s place. I will defer to the larger group the value of a splendide.

I was in Titusville when this happened to them before. I was one of 4-5 boats on the wrong side of the situation. Nothing major for me, dinghy tube busted when I got bumped but worse for the others. My takeaway…. I have microcommanders on boat i e had a year. Damn things should be outlawed...

When I had my 400 a mechanic recommended cutting hose and putting in a T coupler to fill and then pulling that off and putting in standard connector. I never did it but was always curious if that would have worked.

Curious what to budget to do same. I recently bought a 430 with these shifters and hate them. Docking is truly a crapshoot.

Mainship did a lot of things right but some things ya just have to wonder what was in the drinking water in St Augustine!

Thanks for the advice.

We have three AC units. The one serving the second bedroom and bath is easy to get to under the mattress. The one for the rear stateroom is under the stairs and I have no idea how to get to it. The third unit for the salon is under where the TV and Bose stereo are. I think I get to that...

I found a pretty good solution. Bought a product called TUFF STUFF CLEANER. https://www.tuff-stuff.com/products/foam-cleaner/ Big Improvement.

Update. Tried something called Tuff Stuff and big improvement. Removed the shiny sections and took out 75% of the stain. Let sit for 30-45 seconds. I’m a fan.

Yep. Different anchors different sizing. A delta o shows less than 60 lb for the boat.

Yeah. That’s what the sizing guide showed for a 20T displacement.

Just checked. No longer on sale. Need an 85lb. $1470. [emoji52]

Good suggestion. Currently in Brunswick Ga and heading south once I find a marina. Have family in Titusville and Venice that can pick up.
