My VHF is setup to monitor/scan 16. But when it switched to 16 no one talked, just ID numbers, etc.

Something happen this weekend I've never encountered before. We just passed through a bridge opening and was in the no wake zone when my VHF switched from 13 to 16 with a loud alert. No one said anything on the radio but some info appeared on the screen. When no spoke after awhile I switched...

Darn spell check, "trough".

Thank you so much. That's what I needed to hear. Thanks.

We are removing the old AC system an installing a new one. I'm not sure of the correct way to run the duct up the corner of the room. The plan is to make a square troff in the corner to get the air from the unit to a vent up next to the ceiling. My question is, can I place a adapter ring at...

Thanks for that info PSNEELD, I feel better now. And Barker, I agree, the people that built the boat know a lot more than I. And the final word is, I'm trawler 100 percent, regardless of speed. Comfort is where it's at for me and mine. Thanks All

Well, the reason I started with,"I already know the answer", is I've been told by many that a FD hull will only go so fast regardless of HP. So, I guess 6-7 kts is it. I'd be glad to drop whatever engine is necessary if I could get 8, 9, 10 kts. but I don't think that will ever happen. But I'm...

I have a 120 hp Lehman single. My speed at 1800 rpm is around 6.5 kts. Been thru the prop swapping routine. I'm now over propped; rpm top out at 2300 as compared to the specs for a 120 is 2500. But this prop gives me the best cruise speed at 1800. The other trawlers in our group cruise at an...

The info that is stamped on the stringers by the engine says 11 ton and 15 ton gross.

I think I already know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway. The calculated hull speed for my 41 ft. full displacement trawler is 8 kts. Will (in theory) changing from a 120 hp to say a 200 HP (single engine) make much difference in speed. For now let's ignore changing props, etc. Just...

While doing some remodeling I came across a couple thru hull fittings; for a kitchen sink drain & bilge pump. Each has a seacock. These are several inches above the water line. My question is are there normally seacocks on above water thru hulls use for drains? If their not necessary I'd...

On my ray marine e7D plotter I know how to reset the trip log counter. Have have yet to figure out ho to restart the counter. There are three or four counters I think. Anyone familiar with this? :confused:

Just installed a set of rubber cones under the supports on my genny. "After" I completely finished the job I read in the specs that there is a front and rear set for the mounts. I didn't know that, all four mounts looked the same. Is there any numbers or marking on the rubber cones that I can...

Thanks Bill, that got me on the right path.

Onan Engine Vib Iso mounts Can anyone give me advice on finding the part number for the engine mounts on a MDJE 7.5 Onan genset? I've located a few sets for sale but the seller didn't say what genset it is for. I really only need the rubber part of the mounts. Thanks

Not sure of the proper name, but on my '79 my stuffing box look like a female/male pipe assembly held together with two bolts an adjustment nuts on the side. With all that I'm sure you guys know what I'm referring to. So, my question is about some of the many pics I've seen on this sight of...

Which is the most common 50A dockside power, 50A/120V or 50A/120-240V? I'm planning on changing my 30A to a 50A plug on my boat and I don't want to have something that's uncommon at local marinas. All advice welcomed.

Anyone have any experience with the new Fusion UD750? I just did a software update on mine and had nothing but problems since. The Fusion tech support has been very responsive but has failed to solve the problem. Next I'm going to contact them and see if I can reinstall the old...

RJ, I'll contact you next week.

RJ, I'd like to buy one of the used units. The best I remember is there are two wire connections on the top. I can't recall which is hot and ground. Do you know and can you mark it for me. My solenoid is missing. Also, how would you like payment; paypal O.K.? Thanks

I know you posted this a year ago, but do you still have the shutoff solenoid; 307-0528?

Since my original post went from cable size to MOSFETs and inverters, let me throw another fly into the ointment. Now that I have my new bank setup I will need to reprogram the settings in the inverter. I intend to set the cutoff at about 60% rather than 50% of discharge. By reducing the...

Whatever wt. you use in the eng. goes in the pump; as per LF book.

I'm also looking at the eS128. My only concern is the Downvision working on my boat with a long keel down the center. I'm thinking the keel will block some of the down vision's viewing angle. This shouldn't be a problem on your boat.

Great job, I have a 120 an I think the same process will work.
