Waterproofing canvas work
Last year I had new plastic windows on my spray hood as the old had gone opaque.
I have spayed the whole thing with waterproofing agent but the stitch holes around the new windows drip a bit in rain.

If the bowthruster hasn't been used much, wear on the shaftseal is likely to be minimal. On the other hand, the replacement parts are cheap and it's about a half day of work. So we service

Re: Bow Thruster maintenance fail

Bow Thruster maintenance fail
I have changed the bow thruster seals about 12 times and rebuilt it once.
I have never had to take apart the bow thruster to change the shaft-propeller seal.
Except when I had to change the gears

Re: Onan generator does not start
I don't have a photo. It's on the port side of the generator, low down. Hard to find. Trace back from the starter.
