Been reading this with great interest. Since owning my e27 now for five years, anytime i ran into issues like this, I ripped out the wiring and ran my own proper wiring with switching, yes I understand dc wiring very well. Eg, when I decided to install a bilge pump a year ago, I designed the...

Rebed with 3M 4000 or 4200. Lifecaulk is acceptable but I favor 3M. Make sure to rid the bonding surfaces of any old sealant, carefully sand if necessary and clean up before rebeding. Lastly, make sure to put sealant in the holes where the screws go. You should use enough so that the sealant...

When I first acquired my e27, I felt as ambitious as you are with all the excitement and projects that needed to be done. I used the survey as a guide and layed out a multi year plan with any and all SAFETY related issues at the top of the list and first.......I might gently suggest that you...

Run the engine to heat up the oil first. Is the new filter on? Don't know which oil extraction device you are using, but the one I use (Fr West Marine) the suction process starts slowly at first. Don't need to constantly pump the device once started, just pump enough to keep negative pressure...

If it's an Atomic 4 (my '78 is), then go to Don Moyer's site, look for the documentation to adjust the reversing band. It's too tight, and a small adjustment (I believe counterclockwise) of the nut on the collar should make it easier to get into reverse. I would disconnect the linkage first...

Just downloaded OpenCPN last week, went to NOAA for local electronic (ENC) and raster (RNC) charts, downloaded them, ordered and received the GlobalSat BU-353 USB GPS puck, and for about $30 bucks total have a BACKUP chartplotter to use...................support is excellent by way of the...

X3 on Simply Green! Works great! JUST cleaned my engine room and lower motor, mounts, etc with SG, safe on the environment, effective, and leaves your engine smelling great too!

This IS good news! Also a very good reason to subscribe to his updates!

I've been curious about this stuff too and I'll try it. I use Wrights Brass Polish which works really well on 33 year old SS for now.

You get used to it, I did................just like going from early Brit motorcycles to current models with clutch same side as shift, etc.................after awhile, you don't think about it!:egrin:

This is precisely what I'm in the process of doing. I may take the output from the serial port of the netbook to the radio. This is a very helpful thread for all!

Many thx Loren!

At the risk of hijacking this thread, I'm curious as to where people are mounting their GPS receivers, esp if you're keeping the laptop below? Many thanks!

Very happy with my 602 (dual battery monitor), easy install, a little more challenging setup, but once you work with it, it's great! Got mine at Jamestown Distributors, exc price and support. GL!

Thx for posting. I have to admit that I've never seen anything like this. It's difficult to actually see into the space on the right side image. Help us here. What is actualy in the center of the yellow ring? Are there electrical connection/blades/etc there or what? By the looks of the left...
