Ooh, that is super nice. Thank you for the pix. I am receiving my GN Espace this week and should have some photos to follow. -- Richard May SM 477 Avogato

Hi Nick Already done:) Works like I experienced on your DarNico. Perfect and simple. Once it is set at the right tension you do not need to touch or turn the black nuts again. (Maybe once in a

Pat, Sorry, I did not answer your question. What happens inside the macerator pump when the seal starts leaking is saltwater gets into the motor wiring and inside the motor case. With the electric

Danny ,I wish I could ,but it broke into many pieces , some still in the tank. I hope they won't be a problem down the road. Pat SM Shenanigans

Bill, Yes that is what I remember you said, but I was wondering if that leak only occurred while being operated. I assume that the electric current travels thru the water in the intake hose to the sea

I'm away from KAIMI so I cannot give you a photo but we have a rather large sliding bolt lock on the top inside corner of the companion way slide that was installed by the previous owner. He also

Eric I encourage you to try my system with the spring on the outside of the bar applying it against the frame ! it is very easy to open , just tilt the bottom of the bar out of the groove , and let

I need to replace my seacock in the aft head ,could someone confirm the size I need ,I believe it to be 1 1/4" NPT , but not sure and I want to purchase it prior to taking the old one out ,as my boat

Totally agree with you, the seawater pump is really badly placed Dominique

HI Dominique, Thanks for confirming that. My solenoid does not have this button, but it is definitely faulty. I shorted across the main terminals and the engine now cranks but does not run. It turns
