Hi Jeff I have a Manatee and I am interested in this plaque. Unfortunately the owner had recently passed away and had taken his plaque off the boat just prior to m purchase. I've always felt like a part of her was missing all these years... It would be really kismet to have one returned to...

Good for you Larry! I think all you boat owners should consider making hurricane survivor notches on your rub rails or something. :thumb:

Probably too early to know or maybe even get back to check damages but hoping everyone weathered the storm ok! That was some pretty major action from Mother nature!

Wow, I hate to say you might be right about that Larry. So sad to think of all the loss of boats let alone everything else. Maybe people will replace with submarines! ABC news coverage has reporters on the ground in Marco's Island & Naples right now showing total white out conditions and 93mph...

I haven't logged in for quite a while but wanted to check in on my fellow Manatee owners in Florida and Texas. I have to say Healhustlers profile image gave me a momentary shock but then, he is great with photoshop. Here's hoping the best for you all with Mother Natures latest rampage. Really...

Sure enough, great catch! I don't know how I missed that :facepalm:

That's the location I'd assume but I really haven't seen anything for certain that proves it out. There are no photos of the galley bilge area which has similar stringers up against a wall like that too. Definitely doesn't make sense there in particular with the available hatch. I'd give my...

Figured you'd like that Gen install Healhustler. I wish Krogen had thought that one thru a little better. We all needed that aft access hatch stock! As for the pantry it still seems like something is missing there. The desk/bookshelf doesn't really seem deep enough to take up all that space...

Like others have said before, once you've seen a Krogen Manatee you've seen a Krogen Manatee. Well, we do like to customize our boats and yes there are two layouts and of course the beautiful North Sea pilot house version but mostly they are pretty similar. I keep my eyes open when they come...

FlyWright - interesting. I had a similar thing as well as a neighbor just last week. The other possibility is the Pelicans are starting to show up here in numbers - maybe droppings? Lord knows what they eat and digest seems like india ink bombs sometimes but between them and the barn swallows...

Stay safe Hoping all you Florida boaters hunkering down for the storm stay safe. I really dread seeing a bunch of once beautiful boats sitting in or on something other than the water they belong in, even worse, we don't want to lose anyone. Be careful and stay safe. Good luck from the left...

Sure you found something by now... I have that same unit but my zinc sounds very different...I ran across your post while looking for some troubleshooting tips on this model thruster, mine is unhappy at the moment. The zinc that's on mine is bonded over to the side. Does your go on the end of...

I've seen a photo I think of your engine compartment - sure gives you more room with them over to the side. Curious how they are bolted down? Next time mine get swapped out I may want to change the location. I'm not going to be changing them myself anymore so what the heck, if I have to pay...

Closest I've come in Yacht enamel topside for touching up my Manatee was Interlux Premium Yacht Enamel, Hatteras Off White (3108?) or maybe Petit EZ-Poxy Modern Polyurethane Topside Paint, Hatteras Cream might be close. I just looked at West Marine for the Interlux and it shows "Item no longer...

Thanks guys and thanks for the schematic obthomas. I'm waiting for the Volvo mechanic's next trip down to the marina. I'll have him change the kit and check things out. There is no "spewing" happening so I suspect the lift pump.

Thanks for your replies... I guess I'm going to have to look further into a pump because the polishing aspect is very appealing to me. Delta Jim why does your setup only polish while underway? The after market kit I found comes with a little strainer beside the diaphragm/gasket but of course...

Isn't that the truth. Every Marina I've been berthed in required proof to get in AND to have their name added as additional insured with annual renewal proof. Others may also have a "hold harmless" clause in the slip agreement you sign. In some less than reputable marinas they can let a...

Hi Folks, Wondering if anyone has had to replace there engines fuel lift pump? I have a TMD30A. I just changed the secondary filter and went to bleed it the lever seemed really loose and I've had a hard time getting the fuel to really run out of the bleed screw. I don't remember it ever...

Thanks for the photos HiDHo, greatly appreciate your efforts and info. I'll have to digest them and see what I can do with some new fittings. My gen set and heater's fuel filter is an old Dahl and I'm thinking of replacing it since filters are getting harder to find. This might make me rethink...

After scouting around in my engine compartment, I found the fuel vent hose behind the soundproofing/insulation. Sure enough, it was shot in one area - the bottom part of a anti-spyhon bend which probably ended up with fuel and degraded it over time. The vent line connects to a single fitting on...

Just to follow up on this thread - I replaced mine using HiDHo's solution and it worked out just great. One thing to note if you are doing this is to make sure the adhesive and the window material you use are compatible. Some adhesives and plastics just don't work well together and you want a...

Funny, I just did a quick check at the time and the $750.00 was West Marine's price. If I do upgrade I'll be price shopping but thanks for the tip. It did look like a nice unit and at half the price it's more attractive. I was going to think about how I could add a site tube of some sort in...
