I cleaned mine out when I found the strainer had clogged up so much you could barely get a pencil through it. Plus I had an eel in the AC pump impeller. The refrigerators and the AC units were all

Jeff, I replaced my B&G Hydra 2000 with the new 5000, but you can get access to the back of the helm gauges above the galley ceiling. There are about 6 small wires to each one that go from there to

Jeff, When we were in the Chesapeake last summer, I used a shop-vac to suck the jelly fish from the strainer in the seachest. They do not get through the strainer. I did this about every day if we

Hi James, the dolphin has a simple small screwdriver turned selector for all battery types. It is located under the removable cover on the bottom front of the unit. The selector is very small and

Jeff, I had a similar experience. Our anti siphon is located at the raw water disposal end of the heat exchanger and disposes the water in the mixing elbow. This is to prevent water from siphoning

Jeff, The thin tube up to the cockpit serves two purposes. First, and most important, is to allow air into the anti-syphon loop. By routing the hose up into the cockpit, there is no need for a
