Re: Galley refrigerator not cooling
I have had the same problem after a long hot weather period. My fridge has 2 compartments, one for freeze goods (-18 °C) and one normal goods (0-5 °C) but one compressor for both.

Re: Mainsail outhaul on 54
Sorry Nick,
I understood your question wrong.
I thought you want to do it without the outhaul motor - so by hand.

If the compressor runs and it doesn't cool it's unlikely to be the thermostat. You may have a leak and have lost your refrigerant. Finding a pin hole in the system is very difficult (ask me how I

Re: Raw Water Manifold Failure - A54

We had the initial bronze manifold on IBIS. Looked horrible and so when we ordered our arch from Turkey had a stainless replacement manifold constructed. About 2 years

Re: New rub rail inserts
Joel would never say something so untrue. A new insert might make the boat sell quicker and for a bit more money, but not 15%.
Craig, I have told you a billion times not to exaggerate...

Re: Raw Water Manifold Failure - A54
Just an update. The original manifold on my A54 was actually copper and not bronze as I had originally thought. That explains the corrosion, since copper is lower on the galvanic scale than bronze,
