When I got on AMELIT in NOUMEA she had been sitting idle for close to 20 months and the aft bathroom valve was stuck: we planned on replacing when she came out of the water. Thanks to a very, very

Hi David, The problem is that the blue lights are switched via resistors. Blue LEDs are by their nature very sensitive to overvoltage. You should supply LEDs ideally with a current source instead of a

Hi Garulfo Glomex / Shakespeare 390-1 Classic SSB mounting instructions state: "1a. You must apply Loctite 242 thread locking compound to the Tip Section’s ferrule threads and the Base Section’s

WAIT and read this before you order! Not all Onan Generators in all SMs and 54s are created equally. Use your ohmmeter to check for continuity between the terminals on the temperature sensor on the

Hi Eric, please count me in for three of these sensors. I just replaced the rubber hose coupling between the exhaust elbow and the pipe leading outside of the onan box and could see that the sensor

3M makes a product, Scotch 2200 mastic pads that is excellent for that situation. I literally removed my two antennae from my SM two days ago when I took the masts down. I intend to use it when I

Hi Alan, I could be interested. Are the springs that hold the blocks up all working i.e. not broken? Have you ever taken the long pin out ? What's the condition of the plastic slides that bear on the
