    Mounting A Wagner Steering helm pump to get more belly room......

    Well I was able to move it back by just an inch because of what is behind the pump, but even that inch made a huge difference.

    Mounting A Wagner Steering helm pump to get more belly room......

    OK I could go on a diet....but. There is very little room between my helm wheel and the seating area making it difficult to use the starboard access door. My thought is to remount the Wagner pump back a few inches, still leaving access to the filler cap. I think there are two large bolts that...

    Head Remodel Kinda.

    Bought a different heater, 100watt. This should pull a maximum 8.66 Amps through the controller rated for 10 amps. Just needed a 1" to 1/2" bushing installed.

    Head Remodel Kinda.

    I miss the aft head we had on our sailboat. That said, out new to use Sundowner 30 has a small fwd head. Several things need improvement. First the water systems. 1. I want to swap out the small sink for a slightly larger one that will cover the existing faucet holes (These taps are past the end...

    Need to update my boat stereo.

    I just installed the Fusion yesterday and could not get it to play anything from my bluetooth player. I would guess that I have too many folders on the drive. I do like that I can control the Fusion from my Garmin MFD. So now to sort out all my music into the correct folders, still have to...

    Upgrading My Water System

    l You are correct. However, you can always turn the water down if you have higher pressure, but you can't turn it up if you don't have enough pressure:dance:

    Upgrading My Water System

    Very good points. My boat stays in the water year round, and here in the PNW the sea water stays around 50 degrees so now freezing in the boat. However, the outside shower can freeze. So shutoffs and drains will the added to that part of the system when I get to install it. Also I always add...

    Upgrading My Water System

    I have replaced most of the galley, including the faucet. Will be doing the same in the head. But before I go too far, my water pressure is weak (in fact fortnight (two week)) English humor. The pressure also goes up and down as there is no accumulator tank. So I have bought a tank, and an...

    Need to update my boat stereo.

    OK I'm old too. I just put all my CDs on one micro card. Ordered a Fusion Ms-Ra70nsx Stereo head unit. I will be interested in how it sounds bluetoothing a small mp3 player to the system. The existing system has some nice speakers already installed. We shall see.

    Updating my electronics units

    Thought about that, they are tight when you flex them out, and the rubber grips hold pretty tight. I may add a simple button down strap to make sure they are secure in a seaway. :angel:

    Updating my electronics units

    With the new pod installed, I took down the old wood plate that held first the very old depth finder then the new cart platter bracket. Well behind it looked awful. After some contemplation, I re installed the plate with a nice binocular holder. :thumb:

    Need to update my boat stereo.

    Thanks for all the great inputs. I will be going with a 1 DIN head unit as I already have the car cassette cutout, and all the wiring and antenna. I'm thinking a mp3 player and ripping all my CDs onto it. Then bluetooth or USB to the head unit

    Need to update my boat stereo.

    Yes that would really help, I did that on my liveaboard sailboat 25 years ago, attached the speaker to the hull as a 43' sounding board. Test CD was Candle In The Wind live at the Sydney opera house. Second verse they tuned the Moog synthesizer to the opera house and shook it. You could feel it...

    Need to update my boat stereo.

    Although the boat has OK sound, the stereo head is an old car cassette, yes cassette. I have one.... I do have a lot of CDs so that's one way to go As for digital music, all my downloaded tunes were wipes clean by apple as I did not buy them for Apple but left then on my out of date iPods...
