The Vetus bow thruster on my Marine trader has stopped working, I believe the brushes on the bow thruster are bad and need to be replaced and the split ring needs cleaned needs to be cleaned up. It slowly kept getting worse and the contactor appears to work. Click in both directions Has...

Hi All Thanks for the info. I hope to work on her during the winter. I'm investigating as much as I can. Right now I've just had ankle fusion surgery so no skiing this winter but I may be working on the boat if the weather isn't too bad up here. Bill

I love the flybridge and it will remain. The previous owner disconnected it. it is now reconnected. I used it this year and it great. One last question; how do you remove the wood trim pieces to get to the screws? I need to remove the wood anyway to refinish it an would like to know how you...

Hello all Has anyone out there removed the Flybridge from a 36' marine trader Europa I see two bolt at the rear of it holding it down. I know I have to disconnect the steering, throttle, shifter, and wiring (horrible design) but what if anything holds the flybridge down at the front. The...

This is a project boat. When I look down from the top it looks like the wires go down the main stainless 4 inch tubes in front of the helm but the chain guards do not appear to go all the way up to the flybridge inside the tube. It is hard to tell since there very little room to see down...

Hello I have a 12 volt positive running down the steering chain from the upper station once I turn the batteries on. The fuse will not blow but the chain heats up and registers 12 volt across the steering chain and ground. Does anyone know what the main 12-volt feed from the battery looks like...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll will check the shaft dimensions and if it is tapered or not and if it has has a key. I will also check the size of the lower station wheel since the diameter works.

The previous owner decided to remove the upper helm steering wheel and disposed of it. Does anyone know where I can get one or has one for sail.

I hope to look at it this weekend on more detail. Maybe take some photos. I've looked at other Marine trader 36' in the last year before buying this one but I cannot recall the setup. The hawse hole is there but as far as I can see no access

Hello All Now the water system is almost upgraded now I need a windlass for my 36' Marine Trader Europa The windlass was removed by the previos owner who own the boat for a short while. It probally was original by the sounds of it. All I have on deck is a black and red cable that looks...

thanks again. I lot of info. Can I just go to Lowes or home depot for the tubing and fitting. Any recomendation on a good brand of crimping tool?
