The 12 VDC panel has several switched for vital equipment that cannot be turned off, such as bilge pumps. I currently have no power to my forward bilge pump and am trying to reset the breaker or find the fuse. Does anyone know how these "non-switches" function? I've attempted to attach two...

Rum Runner I owned a 2004 34' Rum Runner hardtop prior to buying the Pilot 430. The Rum Runner had the Fighting Lady Yellow hull, the upholstery had "Rum Runner" embroidered in it. Mechanically it came with the twin 240's and a 3.5 KW generator. I'm sure there were different configurations...

Yanmar 6ly3-EPT I have twin yanmar 480 H.P. (6ly3-EPT) on my Mainship Pilot 430, I've never had an problem but I do keep up with regular PM. I would not hesitate to buy a yanmar.

Mas-Power Our 2007 Mainship 430 Pilot came with a 16KW Mas-Power (16M) generator, driven by a Yanmar model number 3TNV84T. This has been a great engine, I have never had any issues with it at all. It may be more power than you need, particularly at night but in South Florida with all 3 A/C...

Does anyone know how many 43' pilots were made? I have a 2007 Pilot 430 and was told it was hull #2 of the pilots and the first one built with the pre-fab interior. #1 interior was built in place.

I had a problem with my 16KW MasPower generator (Yanmar Engine with I believe to be a Westerbeke generator). The engine always started and stopped fine but generated no voltage. I called the company's service department, they were very helpful and walked me thru some very simple readings for me...

Can you add some pictures? It has to be removable if they were able to install it in the first place. I've owned two Mainships and I considered both easy to work on and upgrade.

I found it For those interested. I did find the battery parallel relay. Forward of the battery banks is a removable panel. The relay is in that enclosure down at the deck level buried underneath layers of heavy battery cables that make it impossible to see or access without removing the...

On my 2007 Mainship Pilot 430 I am trying to find the battery parallel relay. I can hear it when it energizes but can't figure out how to access it. If there is anyone that has found it, please let me know.

I second Davids recommendation, on my 6ly3-EPTs I pull the pumps, do it on the bench and then clean it well and apply a fresh coat of Yanmar paint, looks brand new.

Rule Bilge I am in the process of fixing a bent discharge hose on a 4,000 GPD Rule pump. It has a 2" discharge. I have a 10' run with a u-band at the discharge.

hidden screws On my Mainship Pilot 430 the settee cushions backs are removed by accessing the screws that are in the joint of the cushion itself, mine are roughly half way down the back of the rear cushion where the cushion folds back in, the screws are in that joint, you can find them by...

I have twin Yanmar 6LY3-EPTs on my mainship. After fuel filter changes trying to prime the engines with the engine mounted manual plunger pumps is labor intensive and many starts attempts result. I'm considering installing a header manifold on the discharge of the fuel polisher so in addition...

I have a 2007 Mainship Pilot 430, likely the same hull as yours. I had a thru hull transducer added a few years ago just forward on the main engines. I saved the core plug, it measures 1 1/8'" thick solid glass.

This is a response I gave in 2021, feel free to PM me. "I just replaced all the window gaskets on my 2007 Mainship Pilot 430. I would expect them to be the same. It was $5.75 per foot for the material and I had a local window company install it. Contact Nancy Cepeda at Ocean Dynamics, she was...

New Swim Platform I found a company in Port Salerno Fl that took my old swim platform and used it as a mold and build me a brand new one. Pics of the new one are attached. beachfiber.com is the company, Mike is the owner and he was a pleasure to work with and the platform came out great.

They are connected via a distribution manifold, One pump provides water to two 16k BTU units with minimal head loss due to proximity, the second...

I had a 2004 Pilot 34 a number of years ago before getting the 43 Pilot. I'm going from memory but mine had a buzzer under the helm and in my case it sounded off one afternoon when I had an engine high temperature on my port engine. I believe it was a common alarm.

I had a Stern Thruster installed on my 2007 Mainship Pilot 430. It is an absolute luxury versus a necessity, but it allows me to move the boat parallel into and out of my dock which is very tight. Ours is an electric Side power unit and has been very reliable for the past 10 years. Now that I...

I have Carling breakers on my 2007 Mainship Pilot 430, I hope this helps.
