Has anyone done this process? I purged my hydraulic fluid, including running the AP to empty it. Now I have refilled the system and the helm works well but the AP needs to be bled. The pump is located under my seat so by removing the tackle drawers I can reach it (I hope). I'm guessing that...

I didn't have a transformer and got tired of using clips off a jumper cable. I sometimes find didn't it useful to test 12v items at my desk/bench with my spare battery. I have some electric reels so I used a cord with clips to make a test lead. Just an idea. This is a Dawai cord.

I watch this channel as he shares tips on fixing different items. This video is on the 236 Fisherman.

Looking forward to a review. I still use the poor man's version, Boat Beacon.

Nevermind, Found it on EBay.

I'm looking to buy the windshield washer valve that connects to the fresh water supply on a 2007 Marlin. Photos below. Source or part number? FYI, the little screw measures 6x32. Photos below.

When I launch and load my Marlin by myself, I've asked people on the dock to hold lines and I've never been turned down. We chat about fishing, I give tips on catching if needed. Sometimes I get a good tip from them. It makes the day more enjoyable. Coming inbound from an albacore trip I...

I found the 100Amp ANL fuse at the very edge behind my battery Selector switches. It was hidden from view by the switch case. I moved it to an inside wall that I can easily reach. So is there a reason I can't replace this fuse with a 100 AMP circuit breaker? Is the ANL fuse special in some...

I had a mirror attached to a sea sucker suction cup, until I dropped it. One way of putting the mirror up.

One time while trolling a spread for albacore I noticed a dory following my every turn. I put the auto pilot on a wide spiral and went back to changing gear. It took about 3 times around before the boat realized we were going in circles. I didn't see the boat again. Another day we had just...

The fishing pattern is kinda funny until someone runs over your lines. In the case of the salmon fishery at the Columbia River mouth, the famous Buoy 10, there is little to be done about getting cut off. The unwritten rule is to not make eye contact. If you do then an actual discussion might...

I'm looking for a stainless mount for the smaller sized Racor 120 diesel fuel water separator. Is such a thing made? I like my Yamaha stainless bases, I want the same quality for a small diesel generator fuel line. I've looked and searched but no luck.

This is the 5/8" long socket I cut to allow me to turn the generator.

Good thing it was fresh water, and didn't sit. FP was very good in emailing advice and instructions every step, on a holiday weekend. Cudos to FP. And, leaves from the trip from transom shop to home with low hanging trees. The back was opened up. Here is my method to prevent hydro lock from...

I had to find a hidden 100 Amp fuse that was beneath the shadow of the battery selection box. I need to move that fuse so I can change it without having to remove the battery switch panel. In the end the panel is working fine. The generator was hydro locked and had water in the oil. After...

Yes, I got it running. I think adjustment of the valves was critical.

My hose leaks a bit but better than towing out of the shop to test genset.

Thanks Fishtales.

Here is my workaround to run the genset inside my shop. Same works for the AC discharge. 1 1/4" PVC with 4 jigsaw blade cuts and a healthy amount of plastic tape to hold the hose. fitting on the filter helps with clean water.

From FP: You can bar the crank in either direction actually. That is a good idea, we need to see if she even has a chance of running for us. And that 25amp controls fuse protect all of the controls components if it's blown nothing gets it's DC power. It will pop if something draws too much...
