this is the screw hole: the screw really needs to go all the way in to engage the top section understood the screws are probably already tightened enough to stop a leak, but even a slow leak is not desirable.

the existing ones are the "correct" screws. you see the head of two of the screws are stripped a bit

the screw has to go all the way to the end to really engage the top section to the bracket. the gap is still large after 3 threads the concern is the rotary tool would make a V groove that still tend to slip rather than a U shape |_| . does it work if you could weld a hex head on top of the...

Thanks. this looks like a solid brand. is it easy to install and set the charging profiles?

i have no clue how old are the 3 racors on my boat all 3 are obsolete 500FG where the bracket work as the bowl ring. the 2 engine racors have the first type drain fitting (rk 11780, see below) while the gen racor has the 2nd type drain (rk 30488) the 2 engine racors have the Phillips head...

the 24 in 10-24 is not tpi? the fasteners and the top section are made of plastic? I thought those are metal

I sent the picture of the screws to racor but still waiting them to get back. will try another screw later

I was saying to cut into the head of the Phillips screws that are sort of stripped. I thought they are rk15081-01 according to the cut sheet, but now I see they are not. They were probably installed by a previous owner. I guess they are 10-24x7/8 The hex screws, rk15081, are the new screws I...

I never doubted the cut sheet But the sort-of head-stripped screws definitely still allowed me to tighten it to 6 in lbs

The charger looks still working fine I was wondering if I should follow a charging routine instead of leaving it on always

Is the linkage and rudder stop accessible from the outside?

Run wire through a heat shrink wrap, crimp then apply heat?

I also replaced the check ball and seal. All from racorstore. The same valve is also available on Amazon rk 11-1910, the thread is 7/8, fits 500ma and 500fg < 2002

it was a chore to get this clear bowl replaced. 3/4 of the time were fighting with the bolts and nuts on the bracket. i had to remove 3 bolts and loosen the 4th bolt enough so this twin can rotate to have enough clearance to remove the top section and lift the bowl out. hopefully this is the...

i have removed only one screw. yes it goes back in. I have to reuse the original screws. it's the rational option without knowledge of the screw's specs. Two of the original screw heads phillips drive are already sort of stripped, so after some point i cannot turn it further. i don't know if...

Thanks for the details. will try cleaning the thread hole if necessary 60 in. lbs is specified in the cut sheet. with phillips head screw, I would just hand tight using a screwdriver, as driver bits on a torque wrench will not be accurate

Yes, it turns out the "original" screw is not 10-24x1 as specified in the manual. Here is a side to side comp of the original vs RK15081 10-24x7/8 hex vs 10-24x1 machine screw from HD Their threads match up in each pair. The original screw is very similar to 10-24x7/8. I have no idea why the...

Don't know if this is commonly done and if ez456 is the right tool, if the cut groove does not grip or tend to strip. With no spares, I cant afford to mess it up

i'm thinking if I could modify the screw heads: drill a hole in a scrap wood, put the screw all the way in, use a dremel tool with cutting piece ez456 (blade thick 0.045in) to cut a slot on the middle of the head, so I could drive it using a flathead

i already bought 3 sets of RK15081, this is the currently available fasteners, 10-24x7/8" hex heads the screws on my racor are the old ones RK15081-01, 10-24x1" phillips head (discontinued, two screw heads are stripped a bit) I have not used a chaser nor a tap before. I think you mean to...

two of the original screws are sort of stripped in the head over the years, i was not able to drive them after some point so I don't know if I was able to reach the required 60 in lbs yesterday. the original screws (RK15081-01) are #10-24 x1 in, they screw all the way in by hand. new screws...

The obsolete model has Phillips head screws as the bowl fasteners. Racor told me these Phillips head are no longer available. I purchased the current fasteners that have hex head screws, but it only goes in by a couple of threads by hand. I didn't use a screwdriver to force it in This is my...

do you use bike innertube to make a rubber seal for the strainer cap?
