    led lights on electrical control panel mainship

    Don't know. I do know that these indicator lights have different color lenses. Red, Amber, Clear, Green, Blue and White are available.

    led lights on electrical control panel mainship

    No problem. I was at the boat yesterday and decided I needed to look for them. The real problem was that I had the original extras in a bubble wrap but when the new replacements came they came in a little box 4"x 3" x 2". I was looking for the bubble warp when in fact I had put everything into...

    Mast wiring

    Good luck with that one. So I'm to understand that you have not removed the mast from the boat. Correct. Being an old sailor and having played with wooden and AL sailboat masts. I think you may be able to solve your problem by removing the mast and putting it on a set of saw horses on dry...

    Another one bites the dust...

    Why is she being decommissioned in Norfolk and then towed to Washington to be scraped? It's not like one of our boats that it cost $10k to ship over there. Why not take her over on her own power or better yet scrap her on the east coast or in MS. Shipping the reactor back to Washington for...

    Mast wiring

    Why not just start over and rewire from the plug? Forget trying to find how it was done. If you believe the problem is in there someplace, by pass it.

    led lights on electrical control panel mainship

    The problem is they will only sell at a $50 min order. So one has to order 16 or 18 lights. I just ordered 18 green 14V LEDs. Now all I have to do is find where I put them.

    led lights on electrical control panel mainship

    The originals are from Sorenson Lighted Controls www.solico.com 800-275-7089 The originals are incandescents but you will be better served with the LEDs Green LED for the 12V side are 21-12-1-2-3-203-4-0 but they only have 21-12-1-1-3-203-4-0 These are the same except the body behind the...

    New Boat

    I think the filter is mounted that way to save height. Moving it would be the best but the parts are around $300. I think I can come with a plan. One thing is to save a QT plastic soda bottle. Break the filter loose and slide the bottle up over it. Then get it off as quick as possible. That...

    New Boat

    Earl, My other thought on the oil filter is to alter the drain tube they have in place. What they have might work if the tube has not being bent in half or more to store it. Then what happens is that the shallow concave place under the filter with the drain backs up and the oils spills all...

    New Boat

    We have a stern thruster as well and I love it. As far as filter changes. I'm going to figure out something for the Engine because it is messy. I may relocate it to a bulkhead but not sure where. The fuel filters are easy. I removed the silly metal shield from my Racor. You can't see...

    New Boat

    Funny I just saw your post on the trip home. I was going to comment that we may be down your way in mid January and might need a tour of your boat. I have found the boat to be well built. I looked at a lot of other boats before buying this one and I'm not unhappy with the boat or it's build...

    Wet exhaust seacock

    What about the boats that have no key required? Mine has an engine switch on the panel and then an on switch at each of the helms. Flip the engine breaker. Go to a helm and flip the on switch and that activates the throttle control. Press the button on the throttle control and that activates...

    Oil sampling recommendations, please

    This is true. If for no other reason this is worth what the samples cost. The buyer is impressed by the fact that you were interested enough to get it done. The last boat I had upon sale the buyer was waffling and wanted an engine survey. His broker and the engine surveyor told him that with...

    The best passagemaker on the planet

    Just returned from a trip to China. American 777. The last time I went Business this time I used mileage and went First. I'm not sure I need the differences. Yes First is a little bit like having your own room but for what I did, eat, drink coffee, doze off and watch several movies for 13+...

    Smokin' is bad for you...

    So let's say you are correct in your evaluation of this member. What is being done to get rid of the member if he is such a bad member? 1. The BOD writes to the member and confronts him. 2. Fire bomb his boat. 3. The BOD votes the member out or buys him out. 4. Fire bomb his boat. 5...

    Question about 2004 or newer MS 34

    One of my winter projects is to build a bridge between the port and starboard stringers so I can crawl across. One in front of the engine and one aft of the gen set. This will make getting across a lot easier.
