    Cabin Hatch Boards

    the best bang for your buck is a 4' x 8' sheet of PVC trim panel ( Verdana or AZEK at Home Depot) Lighter than Starbpoard (HDPE) and a lot cheaper and in stock at Home depot or Lowes. No Shipping fees. The edges of PVC are not as nice as HPDE but you won't see any edges in that use. Cut it...

    Fiberglass Repair & Lock Rust

    Plastic packing tape is your friend. Neither polyester nor epoxy stick to it. Cover areas that don't need work. You can make straight lines. You can use it as a dam.

    265 not so fresh water tank

    you have to take the screens off the faucets and let the chunks flow out.... if you take the cabin drawer unit out and open the deck port over the tank, you can get light shining through tank and see how nasty it is. If it has a ring, do like I just did and cut it out. Put in a 12 gallon that...

    Need Fuel Valve help

    The problem with the ones I got was they had ports out the front not down. Turning the handle did not open/close ports the same way as the OEM (it has ports pointing down). There was now way to use the new one without mounting it so that it could spin 360Deg. And the "pointer" would never...

    Need Fuel Valve help

    I have a 265 also. I also bought mueller replacement to find out it will not work. They way it opens ports is different. In order to make it work you would have to mount differently and it would not make any sense with the pointer. I returned the valves and am still running the old ones. I...

    My next project!!

    Mine are the far left. Red. The diffuse light from under them is not bad. The red is not terrible. But a dimmer would help. I drive for hours in the dark There is no way to dim the dependent lights because they use the 12v that is being sent to your devices

    My next project!!

    I was not suggesting fusing the Nav/Anc separately from the switch panel. That would cause complications with using it to light the other switches. New Wire refers to illumination lamps as "Independant", meaning they are powered independant of switch position. "Dependant "indicate ON and are...

    My next project!!

    A few days ago I bought a CHEAP set of 4 blue LED that LOOKED like replacements for the OEM Attwood cockpit lights. Screws smaller and holes not as far apart and the unit will not sit flush against the gelcoat. The gasket supplied was useless. I will have to make neoprene washers or...

    Water in gear case oil

    did you replace the fill gaskets every time? They get a ring when you tighten them and then if you use them again the ring is in a different place.
