    Arch vs mast fait accompli

    Arch is up for fitting. Final placement prob 16" further back. Note this will be mounted to the inside of the bridge, decision made thru the lens of availability and price ($300).

    Repair help needed!

    So I'm finally finishing the electrical and ready to start exterior projects. See the pic. The underside of the bridge is seriously separated. I want to do a repair, but with an eye towards the age of Phelps & me, not get nuts. What would you Guru's do ?

    terminal / barrier strips

    Seems like everything for sale now is little M3 studs. I want several strips with #8 studs with different numbers of posts. Anyone got a reasonable source? Seachoice has them (13581) but pricey at one at a time. TKS!

    SS bolts in aluminum

    Tried a search. Don't see anything here on how to get the dang things out. For maximum fun the heads are Allen , small, and recessed, threads into aluminum casting.

    Anchor washdown

    Barking Sands has recommended one. I asked him because I have a 1" ID line going from the aft pump already up there (and also HD cables for a thruster). The damn hose runs left/right/over the river etc. I was just gonna cut it off, it's plugged in the anchor locker. Anyway, what/where do you...

    Portlight outer rings

    While I was working on phelps in the yard, I did some canvas work for a yard-neighbor. Discussion included Phelps , and the ruined teak inside at the portlights. All rings were broken (surprise) and PO went ape-s**t w/5200. Looks like the underside of a school desk. Anyway, this guy just happens...

    Raymarine e120 backlight problem & fix

    Watched a couple of videos on how to DIY. I think I can handle it, and I am in possession of a free unit. But there are 2 schools of repair, using LEDs and original CFLs. CFLs are what fails, and the LED proponents have their points. But for anyone who went to LEDs is the screen backlight...

    Westerbeke diesel gen Obi-wan

    Needed. I have a 4.4 BCD and can't get it to even pop on ether. Can't find a decent troubleshooting guide. Fuel circulates and is present at exit from injector pump, but does not come out when cranking. Finding a Beke mechanic here mid Atlantic is a joke. Lotsa dealers " my mechanic quit".

    Sp 135 throttle

    I emailed Brian, and I did not get a satisfactory answer. Maybe my fault. Anyway, here goes I thought the throttle linkage was bound up, sitting 10 yrs. Tracked it back to the governor. The arm at rest idle is at clock face 11. It moves to 1 and stops. Needs more travel. Quadrant now is only...
