That would/might be true if I had the ground of my meter on a known good ground like a terminal board and I was measuring just the Pos wire of the fixture. But I was measuring from the black wire of the fixture to the blue/green wire of the fixture. The reading will be diffent depending on how...

hehehe ok Capt Ron We say that all the time. Its on a T shirt with my boats name... It says it should be able to lift. Last November just before pulling the boat I couldn't get a pumpout. They were all shut for winter. That was the impetus for buying the pump. I jumped it in, pretty much...

I got the plates made at Atlantic Coastal Welding. $30 a piece but they did them in a day. Made them to my spec. I wanted them wide but have to fit above stringers. 3" wide. 1/4" plate. Standard 9 7/8" bottom hole spread. I looked at amazon. They have CAST aluminum 2" wide. I had a cast one...

Jabsco pump and Y valve installed. I little different than the other guys. Y valve is mounted on the pumpout fitting on top of the tank. I replaced the elbow with a straight 1-1/2" female thread to barb fitting (sched40 pvc). Had leftover 1-1/2" VAC hose from the scupper project. I liked that...

A project this spring was removing the lower motor bolts and putting some glass “eyepatches” over the inside holes, redrilling, and installing ¼” aluminum plates across inside lower bolt s. New 316 SS ½” bolts. 5” was correct length with plates and 1/8” SS washers. Boltdepot.com is good source...

noticed that all three of my cabin lights were not working. Cabin & Head domes and the reading lamp. The cabin dome has a Frankensteined toggle switch in it because ...well, because.... Thought that might be shorting to ground and popping the fuse. Checked the fuse, looked OK. Blue &Green wire...

Definitely get the prewired pack in the link earlier. it just plugs in... The hardest part was digging out the sealant over the one screw. There is a gasket that you don't want to damage. I suppose ACR is probably replacing the gasket too.

look in behind the 2 drawer unit in the cabin. and under the stbd seat box"cooler" where the shitank is. You can see fuel fill & vent there

You can change them youself. Just buy the battery pack that is already made. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/acr-resqlink-battery-replacement.35753/

Wow, thats a crazy problem. I hesitate to speak because I will jinxs myself but I replaced one vented cap. Chain broke and it fell in the water. Last year I replaced the o ring on the other cap with the wrong one. Used the pack on the left in my previous picture. It went on and hopefully was...

My 265 got new tanks just before I bought it. idk the $$$. I think they are from SP tanks in NJ. I'll get pix tomorrow in the boat. Main is 130 and Aux(rear) is 120. They have THREADED KUS sender units not the 5 screw type with the gasket. PAY UP and get the threaded ones. Nothing was cut...

Learned something amazing while replacing my seastar cylinder When you remove the tie bar bolt, YOU CAN MOVE THEM IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS!!!!! Genius! no more squeezing between motors

Here is a picture of the Lower unit anodes. Notice there is a hollow space behind it. That means you can tap it IN on the left side to wiggle it out. Knowing that is gold. DO NOT PRY IT!

That surprises me because the 5 hole pattern and hole size is a standard. They make different materials (not all sending units are for FUEL tanks) This is from KUS-USA website.

yep thats the big news around here.
