On our boat, we did mostly as Eric says, but connected blue to red and brown to black. Since both of these wires are hot (120V with respect to ground, 240V with respect to each other), I don't think

Good idea. It’s been 5 years since replacement, so would not be surprised if the element is toast.

Thanks Bill...looks like an engine room day!

Thanks Randall, I will attempt to watch the video but I doubt the bandwidth here will allow that... Further to Mohammad’s question, did you find a bearing inside or delrin balls like Gary described?

Hi all while I’m holed up in Brunswick it’s time for me to have the soft part of my dodger remade any suggestions of someone who does good canvas work in the area I have tried in vain to get a

Hey Kent and Iris - welcome back to America! As Robbie Burns wrote, "The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men Gang aft agley" - sounds like you're one of many with cruising plans changed due to C-19.

Hello Mohammad and Aty, Were you able to simply untwist the bottom cap of the furler assembly with the tool you sketched Unbolt the furler from the foil, I used the uphaul to raise the foil enough to

Hi Marco, Transducers will be filled with moisture over time, especially without the rubber cap. You can measure the resistance: disconnect the transducer from the Sonic Speed box. It should be 110

The hot water heater on my SM is working normally except for one detail. Normally, when the heater is heating water it draws a little over 3 amps AC. When the water is hot, it usually draws 0 amps

Alexander, Sorry I cannothelp with a dealer in France but I do have a little bit of insight for yourproject. About 4 yearsago we replaced all the carpeting in Cream Puff for under US$500.00.

and, of course, do note that you will be getting US 60 Hz, not European 50 Hz.

Hi All @brent Thank you for your welcome. I will take a look at the registry. Thanks for that. @Eric I think I will check again with the registrar and see if they are open to the location suggested

I forgot to mention that you should mount a circuit breaker . I believe it is 30 or 35 amps where the cord enters the boat in the stern locker. It should be the same amperage as the breaker on the
