I am about to place the order for my two new toilets for my boat. And all the reviews and feedback tell me Raritan is the way to go. So my questions are as follows: Is there any real difference, besides size, on the Raritan Marine Elegance and Raritan Atlantes I know the marine elegance...

Because when I removed them during a refit, one of the workers dropped them in the water. I pulled them and rinsed them off. Water was brackish. The bearings need replacing for sure, and was going to look at having them rebuilt. But I figured if it costs me 1k or so to do each, perhaps use a...

That is the same size as mine

Thank you for the information. As much as I would like hydraulic, the cost to convert is substantial

I was wondering if anyone knew of any sources for replacement Vetus thruster motors. I currently have the 11kw (24v@450A), and would like to upgrade to new, brushless motors, preferably 48V, but the price from Vetus is a bit too difficult to swallow. Thank you in advance

Great information. Thank you. Any thoughts in the fill rite pumps?

Thank you for input. The pump will be used for polishing only. There is another pump, same as the polisher used to transfer fuel between the tanks, and that has its own filter as well. Both pumps are fill-rite 15gpm.

I am looking at building and installing a fuel polishing system for my boat. My main tank is around 2700 gallons and my other main tank is around 800 gallons. Both can fill, what is called my day tank, which is about 300 gallons. I am wondering if I need to use 1, or 2, racor 1000 filters...

I have twin Volvo TAMD70E engines. I was wondering about upgrading the alternator to a 48V, 200amp. I have researched and found that requires me to change from a V-belt to a serpentine belt. I was thinking of also keeping my current alternator (12V@80amp), but may avoid doing that for...

Essentially, I am doing load calcs for specific areas, and anything dedicated. Places like the bathrooms, I have hairdryers I am putting there for usage.

Using stranded. In conduit

The loads are just standard wall outlets.

This is what I have read. And I used several online tools to calculate the wire size. And everything says 14awg is perfectly fine, but it just feels so small

I am about to start running wire in my boat, from my refit, and did the calculations, and wire size calculated was 14awg. I went to start to pulling it in my conduit and it seems rather small. So my question, is what would you recommend for wire size for outlets? Each room, and area(e.g...

Thank you. Depends upon your needs, and water capacity. I am sitting around 240 gallons of capacity, have a water maker, but would love to double the capacity of my water.

It truly was. Used a locking 60" cabinet slides, 500lb rating, from vevor.

Getting my plumbing systems finally routed and installed. Has been a major headache trying avoid interference issues with everything, but i think it is finally making some headway. I will post more as more gets completed. Any thoughts, ideas, or advice, would be great.

Thank you for the information. As this vessel has a long journey ahead of it to get back home, I want to make sure it is nicely equipped to handle most situations for a repair.

I had some dead space above, and behind my dryer. So I am up with a sliding 60" shelf to add some additional storage. It is not yet done, but getting close.
