    2003 Mainship 390 Bow Thruster

    My boat had a side power, I order the brushes direct from them, it was about 4 years ago. I don’t remember the exact price maybe 300. It had 4 total brushes, boat was a 2007. I think they went to a two brush model on newer thrusters. I was able to remove the thruster by myself. Putting it back...

    2003 Mainship 390 Bow Thruster

    My main ship 400 started acting up at the end of the season. After some investigating it needed brushes. The PO must of relied on it heavy. After I replaced them and gave it a good cleaning it worked better than it ever did.

    MS 400 Replacement for Nova Kool Refrigerator

    I replaced mine 3 years ago on my main ship with the same original model. I ordered from World Wide enterprises in Falmouth. That model is made to order and did take two months to get. Unfortunately the size is not “standard”. I couldn’t find anything that would fit without major surgery...

    Shopping of a Prop

    I had my prop worked by black dog propellers here in Stevensville. My full load ( ( fuel,water,food,dinghy and family.) RPM was down 200 rpms, photo tach versus tachometer. They loosen up the prop tuned all blades and balanced. I can’t wait to try it out.

    Shopping of a Prop

    I’m not sure why either, I would like to ride on a 40 with a 4 blade to see how it feels. All of my prop knowledge is learned from racing outboard hydroplanes and runabouts. 4 blade or 5 blade on a hydro really worked well, it drove the boat thru the corners better kind of like 4 wheel drive in...

    Exhuast hose damage from battery off gas

    I have a 2007 Mainship 40 T and had the same problem. I replaced the entire run. Mine used two different size hoses. The batteries were spent when I purchased my boat. Be sure to check your battery shelf. I had to replace one of mine.

    Yanmar Engine paint and gelcoat touch up paint

    I have a 2007 400 and the gel coat is in good shape. After I wet sanded and buffed the repairs the color was perfect. The yanmar dealer has the grey spray paint. I don't think they sell brush paint. I've also seen the spray in ebay

    MS 400 ER hatch hinges

    The hinge is on the port side of the main hatch so it opens towards the couch. The small hatch on the starboard side also is hinged. There aren't any lift assist but it does have a strap to limit how far it opens. I will take some photos this weekend when I'm back home.
