I should have mentioned, in my opening, that I removed the new cord, and put my old one back on, with no indication of any problem. Thanks for the repluy.

I decided to replace my tired power cord, ordering one from Marinco via Amazon. When installed, it showed a (weak) "reverse polarity" light on the panel. I broke, and remade the connection several times, and made sure all connections were proper, with no improvement. I contacted Marinco tech...

I recently discovered water leaking into the aft cabin through the cockpit sole where the pedestal is mounted. I happened to have the inside cabin cover off while checking the steering cables and found the leak. Lucky for that or I don't know how long it would have gone on, I plan to loosen the...

Thanks to all who replied. Problem solved now.... mast lights working. I followed the suggestion to use an alternate dc source, bypassing the panel breakers. Still had good 12v at the terminal strip but no lights. Then ran alternate ground connection from terminal strip in the headliner to the...

Thanks to all who replied...... still working on it.... stay tuned. Actually, at the moment, I have more pressing issues: just discovered a portlight leak, just above the nav table and electrical panel. With a week of heavy rain forecast in the Houston area, I've got to get a tarp on that for...

I recently discovered no lights working on the mast. A rigger went up to change all 3 bulbs (to LED), and still no lights. The anchor light fixture at the masthead was corroded, so that unit was replaced. Still no lights. We determined that the circuit terminal board, located in the headliner...

I am at Portofino Harbour Marina, Slip A-21. I might the Boaters Resale shop for a possible pole.

I would like to have a jib pole available to improve my downwind performance on my 1989 E-34. I am not into racing with a spinnaker, so don't need that size. Frankly, I don't want to have to handle the huge, and heavy, pole that many boats use. The "J" for my jib is 15'. My running rigging is...

It appears that my recently purchased 1989 E-34 has threads for the holding tank pumpout connection that are non standard. All of the ones available for sale here (Texas), and ones commonly used at pumpout stations do not fit. I'm sure others must have found a source for a threaded connection...

I just purchased a 1989 E-34. The survey reports that the seawater supply hose is cracked and needs replacing. This line starts under the galley, runs under the floor to the engine. A mechanic reports to me that he won't touch it because getting a new line through might require removing the...
