I’ve been watching it close for several days now. I’m getting a drop or two every 24 hours from the filter. I didn’t like the look of the factory filter, but thought I’d try it and see. So, I installed it anyway and ordered some that I liked better. Sure enough, it leaks. What I didn’t like about it...

Excellent suggestion Russ! We have our pump on a timer so we aren’t keeping the loop hot 24/7. Even though my hot water piping is insulated, there are still heat losses, so I chose to reduce my pump run time. The master bath and bath 2 are right beside the water heater. Bath 3, (future bath 4), kitc...

Then I have to cut a hole in the ceiling for the vent fan outlet and eventually a roof penetration… I’m always leery of the roof hole making bit… :o :| … as it’s always awkward and then something generally complicates what should be a simple thing…) Can you get to the soffit? Soffit discharge is mu...

Thanks Over Easy! I also prefer my approach. That intake near the fuel tanks kinda rubbed me, too. The intake is a flimsy aluminum tube with a plastic-bodied intake screen. No flame-arrestor, that I noticed. But, some good ideas in his video. Since I had never installed one of these, and the instruc...

Yes. The gears are turning…

Here’s a different install I found.

Everyone always says I’ve got the skills to be a clown.

This is where I’m leaving the interior work for now. The thermostat will snap out of its base, and I can unplug the 12 volt line, undo two 5/16 bolts and remove the unit from the boat. I’ll coil the 12 volt supply line under the v-berth. I used adhesive wire clips, so I could revise to a hidden wire...

Thanks for the kind words RIS!

You have plenty of game to pull off this project. You’re smart enough to figure out a better way, too.

As my friends will tell you, if there is a harder way to do anything, I can find it. But I do love a project.

Looking forward to seeing your next project.

Hi JimmyT! Looks neat up there on the hatch! The Admiral is gonna be warm! Like how you sized it to match the cabin deck height. The smooth lines and radii should readily allow the jib slip over it when you’re out sailing! Great arrangement on moving your boat and trailer in/out of your garage bow ...

Thanks, Russ. The dolly is a re-purposed pressure washer base. I welded a pipe on for steering. I cut the original nose wheel off of the tongue jack and just used the rotating part - which I welded to the power washer base. It wasn’t meant to be permanent - just a quick proof of concept. But, it has...

Thanks Ray.

I have an electric winch mounted on the floor. It’s about a 5-10 minute process to get it in or out. I have to winch it out and in. My parking apron has some slope to it, so I use the winch to control it when taking her out. It’s uphill going in. Plus, I’ve got a rain slope right at the door. One of...

Trying to get it wrapped up so I can clean up the mess I made. Tossed it up on deck to see how it looks. Not perfect, but I’m satisfied with it. Just a few wiring details to work out and I can call it done. And when I say “tossed it on deck”, I’m being sarcastic. I took the lifeline down, and moved ...

Tx again for your replies very kind of you, I have attatched a pic cause not sure which one sry for my too much questions but would like to be sure before I take off switches dont want to get into more trouble. For now I found the screw which free up the hydraulic pressure so in case I go out and w...

Yes!
