    I was unable to find the square top plug but got an octagonal one for the moment I drilled a 1/8” hole on the top but I will look for the square top one and replace. For now this one will keep the junk out of the system.

    We were a bit nervous about what would be the outcome. Since we found water in the system bad lines in the bilge oil that had been leaking for who knows how long, but yes today I’m going to go get a plastic plug for the upper helm station since they had a pipe nipple connected to a hose and a...

    Exactly the system was leaking and it should have been fixed. The bilge under the floor was nasty it was traveling forward through the engine room bilge to the bilge pump and since the water heater was bad and leaking they were mixing and being pumped overboard. I kept extracting water with my...

    Help with Stove/Oven

    Thank you it looks like the switches are the same so I will try to swap the switch for one of the others to see if the switch is bad. I will post a picture later today when I get to the boat. But it is the switch next to the oven switch. Does the burner’s being switched make a difference we...
