    Upgrade to hydraulic or electric steering systems

    you might want to check out the Optimus electrics and see what works with what autopilots. you will just run with steering control for autopilot, not full engine control like the Helm Master. can't hurt to do the research. good luck, ron

    Voltage Question

    cannot specifically remember the voltage, but i believe my '09 F350s maxed at 13.6v. the more load the lower the voltage. discussion with tech indicated the F350's were built that way. they don't spin up. maybe one of yours also received an updated alternator. Current F300's are pumping...

    What is this Buss for? Grady provides the answer

    i don't know if you ran it down yet, but i just took delivery of a new boat and the dealer pointed out an out of the way breaker and said it was for the ACR. i haven't spent any time looking in to it, but maybe you have the same thing. i know my 2009 did not have an ACR. good luck, ron

    i use this for cleaning http://www.camco.net/spring-fresh-1-gallon-bilingual-40207 you can use the camco water treatment or aquabon treatment (expensive, but really good) to prevent the water from turning. i've used both, but switched a few years ago to a couple oz of pure bleach and baking...

    Head Smell

    the anode in the water heater will stink up if it is deteriorating. also the fresh water tank if not treated properly. look for potential dead critters any where. also, don't discount the possibility someone did vomit in your head and not tell you .. good luck, ron

    What is this Buss for? Grady provides the answer

    agree. looks like "i can do this" work. hard to tell, but those wires don't look 100 amp capable. probably a ground disconnect using a "switch" that was lying around. follow the wires. good luck, ron

    Neema 2000 connection of Yamahas to Garmin

    i connected 2009 F350's to garmin 5212's. i used the yamaha gateway. plugs into the yamaha bus and N2K backbone for the MFD. there were other cheaper gateways but the yamaha only allowed one way communication so i thought it best to go that way. good uck, ron
