Thanks Paramedic62! I do not have the curtain fixture in the salon either, as they were removed and replaced with track lighting. However, you description lets me imagine what they were. Can you point me to the LED lights you replaced them with, I am keen to put something there and the remote...

I saw those and wondered if they really worked, if you are happy I think I will order one too. I have monitors on the charger(s) but they just tell current load , DC, and only work when charger is on. I want something that accumulates my outgoing to I can see %, but I do not need it for a few...

This is what I did and it is probably wrong but I work with what I currently have: Well, to figure out my loading on the 12 volt stuff I cheated and noted the amp draw on unloaded system. Then I turn on something and see the amp draw. Then I turn it off. Note that motors like your bilge pump...

Dave, this shows the value of a good marine surveyor, as I had a terrible marine surveyor recommended by the boat broker. I pointed out the small defect in the cable and he said, "Oh, that is from when the battery charger/inverter blew. That chord is fine!" I have always had boats 20' or...

That should have been a rule for my boating too. My problem, or stupidity, was that I just thought the breaker was old and getting "touchy" as we were running both the window shaker and the main AC on that leg pulling about 15 amps. So much for thinking. Funny thing is, I am a programmer, I...

Well, we started living aboard on December 17th the day we knocked the house down, (she was flooded by Irma). We bought the boat and spent four months refitting her for live aboard, mostly fixing a number of electrical issues to do with a blown inverter, fixing the typical marine trader window...

Shade Pulleys Wow, thanks for all the answers, I do appreciate all the information given. Now if I can just find the components to restore it back to original function. Love my boat, and love finding out about these interesting "features". Thanks Yall.

OK, thanks to tilrider1 we know the etymology of the thingy! And BTW they do roll quite well. Question is still the usage, I have placed a bigger picture in this thread. I was thinking it was some elaborate shade system which has had components removed, but alas no evidence of said components...

Here is a picture of where the window thingys are

Shade Pulls? I was thinking that they maybe were, but obviously a lot was removed because there are no rails or guides for the shade and no apparent holes where the shades were. Also, the funny thing is how the port and starboard are at the top and the center is at the bottom of the window. I...

Hi all, here is a picture of these things. I have one on each window in front of my Marine Trader Labelle 43. The port one is on the top center of the window. The middle one is on the bottom center of the window and the starboard one is top center of the window. they are some kind of pully. what...

Good luck with it all and so sorry for your loss. Wife and I lost our home in Irma, flooded. So, we decided to build a new home and purchased a Marine Trader Labelle Sundeck 43 and docked it behind the house and we now live on that whilst we begin to build a new home on the lot. Losing stuff is...

They do not advertise but you really need to go to the Hogfish on stock island and have the Hogfish sandwich. They fry the fish and serve it on a hoagie with sautéed mushrooms and cheese. Best sandwich in the keys, IMHO. Also, the conch fritters from the bolo guy in Clinton square and the...

This is why they are called curtain lights, because the switch says so!

Yes I would replace them with LED, I am just interested in seeing the original fixtures/what they looked like. I have already upgraded all of the original fixtures, that are left, to LED and saved a ton of amperage. Love this boat, she is my Baby. Thanks Comodave!

Hi All, purchased a MT Labelle 43 a few months back and have done a lot of work to bring her to live aboard status. We moved in two weeks ago and are loving it. My question is this: do any other marine trader owners have a picture of the Curtain Lights that were installed in the Aft Cabins of...

This is the 1984 Marine Trader Labelle 43 that we bought to live on whilst we build our new home, thank Irma for flooding the old one.
