In case anyone's interested in the "finished" product. Job is done when I've procured a canvas cover to shield from UV.

Thanks everyone. Mastboot self bonding tape is what I bought to replace the old "tape". Noted on the pro-tip to go bottom to top, that's how I would've applied it as well. 2 things I learned: 1. Install a canvas over the tape for UV protection. 2. The material-in-question is called a "mast...

Been noticing a lot of water trickling down the mast inside the galley. Figured the current mastboot bonding tape is probably EOL (end of life). Beforehand: Took off the wrap and sure enough, under-side the bonding tape was wet. But underneath the wrap, between the mast and mast plate, is...

Noticed my gooseneck has similar problem today. Was this ever resolved, and the fix is by reinforcing it w/ additional material? Wondering if anyone has replaced just gooseneck itself (black part)?

Congrats, from the pic she looks to be in good shape from the outside. What was the final price if you mind me asking (ball park)?

Yep, all 4 leads are working, key switch in IGN: gauge lights up, same circuit goes to (+), voltage registering, ground goes to ground-bus. Tact is a brand new tact from defender.com. Debating if I want to go grab another new tach, or put my tach into some other system to test.

Was the answer I was hoping for, which is the "easier" way of doing things. I guess trying to separate what "must be bled" i.e. fuel line, v.s. what doesn't i.e. engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid.

Do you have any good coolant bleeding instructions or videos? Doing my own search on youtube university as well.

Yep, I read your post from prior (https://ericsonyachts.org/ie/threads/tach-not-working.18183/post-137659), and turned to all of the tach "ratio" settings, on back of tach. I think primary root-cause, if alt isn't putting out an AC signal, as the sender is connected to DC circuit, conclusion is...

Completely hijacking the tread: when you did your heat exchanger, did you do it yourself? Did you have to bleed your coolant after refilling it?

Here's the money shot, thanks to your advice here. New pump, new bronze elbow adapter.

Did you have to bleed the coolant upon refill? Or is it just dump and pump and good to go.
