Pathery water intrusion through scuppers, I take it that it’s the tiniest amount and only when there’s a bit of a sea

I know it’s only just been updated, a week ago it did not clarify that it works with linkage ..

Ive ordered one so will let you know :cool:

Ive looked at the Lowrance / Simrad pump which is 0.8L whilst the Sitex pump is 18CI which worked fine. The conversion ( litres to CI ) indicates all should be good.

Oh well that’s no good ! Gee thanks HalfHitch

Thanks Halfhitch Yes there are a few complaints about the Lowrance units but you never do really know what to believe on the internet. One positive response I read claimed they had their motors connected in series rather than parallel and this would make sense when considering pump sizing as you...

GDay and happy new year Grady people ! I have a Marlin with a couple of OX66 engines purring like kittens still, for electronics I have Lowrance Gen 3 HDS 7’s with an old Sitex autopilot that has gone bung. I was wanting to install a Lowrance Autopilot but the Lowrance product guide says single...

Yes the key is to get good quality too

Island Pilot, ot looks good as it is. I did the same and wonder why they dont do it in the factory

Is it too good to be true ? I think so unfortunately.

Shawnod Don’t taste the water ! ! dry it and watch it (without rain) if water comes then there’s a leak on 1of5 sea cocks (always leave closed) or your fresh water system. My boat is level at rest but she does tend to list to port readily when underway. I have removed microwave, hot water...

I found my post “Unfortunately the best way to find out is to be on the boat when it’s raining, so you can see the drips.... grab a good torch then starting at the bow check the anchor/bow sprit bolts and lid. Feel the carpet lining for dampness in the cabin, look at the seals of the hatch...

I have posted a reply on a similar post regarding water in the bilge (search for it to save my typing it all over again ) It is a complicated issue and yes I need to sponge my forward bilge regularly. temporarily plug the drain hole at the base of the rear bulkhead and dry out the aft bilge...

What do I carry ..... lots Along with all of the mandatory safety equipment I carry a spare anchor with rope, 2 drogues ( one I use for drift fishing ) a heap of globes/fuses, electrical wire and fittings, multimeter, zip ties and tape. Some hoses and clamps, sikaflex, a loaded toolbox and spare...

My Marlin is nothing like your boat however when I changed from 3 to 4 blade I could certainly notice the difference. Better hloeshot, lift and torque....tighter steering too

I’ve got an Enerdrive 3bank programmable charger..works for me with 7 AGM batteries, 2 blacktop for starting, 2 house and another 3 for winch and bowthruster.

El Jefe .... good tip with soapy water, I’ve always used spit or metho. Cheers

I’m very impressed with the whole project, love the new look .... modern and sleek .....jealous

Now that is a great idea Journeyman !

Why not replace them ? They look good and will cost the same as any alternative anyway...
