    12V Feed For 2000 Seafarer E-Box?

    On my Islander it comes up the rear tower leg. It then turns forward, comes out and back into the pipe and continues forward. It then pops out for a short run to the electronics box. Not sure where it originates but may be at the batteries.

    Add an electric operated antenna mount

    Is this for your VHF radio? The only raising and lowering of my antenna is for bridges and I have to climb out and do it.

    Cockpit Access Door Mods

    It not designed to hinge up. It's too big! And it will never seal. How ofter are you in there? Just cleanup your bilge and caulk it down.

    Headline Crack

    Not really sure what you are talking about. A photo would help.

    Hairline cracks

    Look at the rub rail to see if there is any cracking. If the transom is moving or swelling you will get cracks under there too. Does the aluminum bang cap look swollen?

    Flush cockpit drain

    That is basically what I'm looking for. I'm helping someone out but eventually it may be me! Thanks. If I do my transom at some point I'll probably have access.

    Flush cockpit drain

    Anyone know of a flush cockpit drain that has a removable flared top? Too hard to get under to tighten from the bottom. I would like to tighten down from the cockpit with hose already attached.

    84 Overnighter Bilge Location

    Start with the owners manual. https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/22281/1984-owners.pdf Page 39 shows a bilge pump located aft in the stern of the boat. You don't want to take the tank out! But it will likely be your first boat owner test to see how long your arms are.

    Steering slow to engage

    The other trick I use is to wipe all connections down, wrap with a paper towel and ty-wrap. After a few days take the paper towels off and check. Typically what happens is you loose a little fluid, the air accumulates in the steering assembly and the reversing valves get confused (clunk) and...

    Steering slow to engage

    When you pull the fill cap at the helm what level do you have? I keep a small bottle of steering fluid next to the helm. Every couple of days I top mine off. I have a tiny leak somewhere but I can't find it. If it gets too low I get slow to engage and the internal valves get "bumpy".

    purging air after new fuel tank

    Fill both the engine and can fuel filters with fresh fuel. Probably should change the primer bulbs out too. Prime away! When you get the engines running they will do a great job getting the last of the air out.

    West Marine 5x points thru April 15

    Other than "I need it now" I don't shop there either. The 5X deal is good on certain items. You can't get current Garmin products discounted online or in-store for that matter. But during the sale a $1999.99 list unit comes with $400 of rewards. You do have to spend them on overpriced items but...

    Groco pump -simple macerator retrofit- 265 Express

    Working on mine is extremely difficult. You have to kneel outside the head compartment, lay over the toilet and work one-handed. I'm a lefty so that helps.

    Groco pump -simple macerator retrofit- 265 Express

    Yuk! Now that you have the CPU out (Crap Processing Unit) you have earned your Phd, MSD diploma. If you can get this to work again you can probably get a job at SpaceX.
