The aft shower unit in my SM had developed a small leak. I found this thread when researching how to open it up. However, the Grohe shower unit in my SM is a little different from the one in the

So, the solution ... 1. I have removed the GP-150 from the system, and will send it off to Furuno for repair as suggested by Bill and Alex. I’m cruising so that could take some months to

Hi Alan, Really appreciate the info and link. Amazon only have this in 12v but have found suppliers in US (about$300) and EU. I also have an old cutting board to use as a backing plate. Should be easy

James, Thanks for the detail information...great test! That output isabout 22 liters/min and lower than the OEM. The OEM MARINA ZZ was spec'd at 32 liters/min. It is a difficult choice, with no clear

Bill, A while back we were discussing the Sealand T series pump as a possible replacement for the original bilge pump and wondering what the flow rate would be. I just installed one of the these

Dean, Here are 4 choices for you: You should go to Input/Output Setting on Page 14 of your Furuno Manual and make sure all is set correctly. A Furuno Dealer can likely repair your GP 150. Here is a
