Thanks all. Still getting competitive quotes, a slow process it seems.

From the Hull Truth forum, August 2024...... Most people don't have a clue their gyro is overheating. The gyro starts derating to 50% at a lot lower temperature than 140F, when it derates to 50%, it's only working half as hard and only half as effective but stays running. IF you look at the...

Have a Seakeeper 9 and just received a quote for roughly $1700 with taxes etc to perform annual maintenance including: ...visual inspection of electric and hydraulic systems, torque foundation bolts to factory specs, replace hydraulic fluid and pressurize system, inspect accumulators, glycol...

Old thread. A powdered RV toilet tissue dissolver solution was added to the tank, sat 24 hours and the vacuflush cleared the tank. Didn't have to disassemble anything. It was definitely TP build up as I visually inspected by temporarily removing the waste inlet hose. Hope this helps someone else.

I wish there was another way into the area, but it is in a corner and panels are solidly put together with glue. Thanks

I contacted Tiara for guidance and struck out. I need to remove a speaker grill (and speaker) to access some wiring that got disconnected by a technician long gone. A photo of the grill is attached. I have tried prying it off using a thin blade putty knife, "tested" corners for potential...

Here's the Tiara install instructions. As per their instructions, test lights before installing steps. Removal appears to be the only option to replace the lights with OEM matching lights. (8 steps so I want the 2 replacements to match)

Yes, the question has been posed to Tiara. They have not responded but hopefully are researching for me.... I'll try heat and any other suggestions that come to light. Thanks.

Do you think the painted steel staircase will handle that level of heat without damage? Thanks.

I have teak steps which are glued to the steel staircase frame. I need to remove a couple of them to access wiring for the step lights to replace a couple that burned out. Tiara tells me they used either Teak Deck Caulking SIS440 or Seal Bond SB105 (5293050). I attached a couple photos showing...

Steve K has the correct answer. Next project is to flush the water heater:)

Fix Completed After digging further behind access panels, found the end of the faucet supply lines. Took apart the connection finding a small plugged filter screen in the hot water line. All is well now after a cleaning.

Anyone have success using YouTubeTV in the Bahamas with Starlink? Did you need a VPN to overcome the YTTV geo fencing? Thanks

Looking for a VPN that will work with YouTubeTV app in the Bahamas. One that will "fool" YTTV into thinking we are in the US as the Bahamas are not serviced by the service. Their geo fencing and VPN detections seems pretty sophisticated given my testing thus far. Anyone have positive...

Peter, Thanks for your suggestion. I still think it is a filter/restrictor issue of some sort as one head faucet started slowing last year (now just a trickle) and the other head started slowing this year. I'll check your theory too once I get into the project. I'll post the solution once...

You tube Looks like YouTube is my friend once again. Internal flow restrictors likely need cleaning. Found a YouTube on a similar fixture and will try that fix...after a few other more pressing seasonal start up issues that will take my time:)

Hot water pressure is fine in galley and showers. Two heads have the attached Moen fixtures and hot water literally trickles out. This has developed over time so I am assuming there is a filter screen somewhere in the fixture (or perhaps a flow adjustment?). Nothing evident under sink...

We use a King wifi extender. It was recommended by on spot. Under $100 @ Amazon. Streaming etc all good. Big improvement.

All other advice is spot on. In addition, the engine manufacturer may give you guidance based on fuel gallons consumed. If the total consumption is near "recommended overhaul" I would be wary. Any diesel tech should be able to tap into the ECM to get the gallons consumed for you if they are...

Thanks. I am seeing that bearing issue now. I rinse the bearing area regularly and spray with T9 but they are starting to bind. Then I need to WD 40 to loosen them to roll the dinghy back. Could you email me any info on the bearing replacement procedure/install? Thanks Tvanhall01@gmail.com

I received some information on this lift (XL-500 attached) and would like to get some feedback from anyone who has one installed. Durability, usability, etc. The marketing information all sounds great, but I have not been able to find any user references. Having all the hydraulic gear out of...

Have you had any issues with the Awlbrite adhering to the varnish? How long have you used this method? How often do you have to reapplythe Awlbrite? Thanks.

The GPS antenna has a battery in it, probably soldered in but replacemable. If you do not see a light on the antenna, it is likely a dead battery. You tube has DIY videos on how to replace it.

Boat is stored at River Forest and in need of an insurance survey while out of the water. Have looked at SAMS and NAMS websites and many individuals are listed. Anyone have a recommendation for me based on a great experience? Thanks

Vintage 2006 Raymarine E120 Classic MFD and ST8002 Auto pilot lower and upper helm (upper slave). (Yes I know they are old but all in working order until yesterday:)) Just started getting intermittent "No Data" error when using AP on "Auto" (not Track). AP unit operates for one minute to 30...
