    Nav/Anc Switch part number

    I assume you want to trigger the illumination of all of the other switches from the Nav/Anc switch. So when you turn on Nav or Anchor, the switch panel illuminates. In that case you don't need pin 8 on the Nav/Anc switch. It will already light when you turn it on. If you connect pin 1 or pin 6...

    Need to ground a fuel tank

    Ideally it should green wire, not black. directlty from tank to neg battery. no confusion. There should be green wire or greenw/yellow stripe from fuel fills already going to the battery. The difference between Black and Green wire is its purpose. Black wire is a "negative return". It...

    265 fold down transom

    But you're gonna drill 4 giant holes for the rodholders... I like the bungees. Some guys get their original ball latches to work for them. Mine are shot. I wouldn't spend $120 on that solution

    Electrical problem of the day

    I've seem similar problems caused by bad crimps of butt connectors, loose screws on terminals, and most often, anywhere that has green corrosion (vertigris). ATO fuses and fuse holders/fuse panels are a major source of gremlins. The vertigris is hidden...

    12V Circuit Breaker Tripping for Fresh Water Pump

    Definitely try swapping over to another switch for shitzengigs. Freshwater pumps have a pressure switch in them right? they only pump when the pressure is low. Like when you open a water valve. are you able to run water? Does the pump run all the time when you turn on the switch? or only when...

    Electrical problem of the day

    That would/might be true if I had the ground of my meter on a known good ground like a terminal board and I was measuring just the Pos wire of the fixture. But I was measuring from the black wire of the fixture to the blue/green wire of the fixture. The reading will be diffent depending on how...

    hehehe ok Capt Ron We say that all the time. Its on a T shirt with my boats name... It says it should be able to lift. Last November just before pulling the boat I couldn't get a pumpout. They were all shut for winter. That was the impetus for buying the pump. I jumped it in, pretty much...

    Groco pump -simple macerator retrofit- 265 Express

    Jabsco pump and Y valve installed. I little different than the other guys. Y valve is mounted on the pumpout fitting on top of the tank. I replaced the elbow with a straight 1-1/2" female thread to barb fitting (sched40 pvc). Had leftover 1-1/2" VAC hose from the scupper project. I liked that...

New 316 SS ½” bolts. 5” was correct length with plates and 1/8” SS washers. Boltdepot.com is good source...

    Electrical problem of the day

    noticed that all three of my cabin lights were not working. Cabin & Head domes and the reading lamp. The cabin dome has a Frankensteined toggle switch in it because ...well, because.... Thought that might be shorting to ground and popping the fuse. Checked the fuse, looked OK. Blue &Green wire...

    ACR PLB vs InReach Mini

    Definitely get the prewired pack in the link earlier. it just plugs in... The hardest part was digging out the sealant over the one screw. There is a gasket that you don't want to damage. I suppose ACR is probably replacing the gasket too.

    Wow, thats a crazy problem. I hesitate to speak because I will jinxs myself but I replaced one vented cap. Chain broke and it fell in the water. Last year I replaced the o ring on the other cap with the wrong one. Used the pack on the left in my previous picture. It went on and hopefully was...
