    208 Adventure Cabin Light

    The light bezel pops off. It is a little scary doing it for the first time . Take a small screwdriver and gently push it against the frame until it pops off. I haven't broken one yet. If your hands are too big, get the admiral to do it!

    opinion on canvas color

    Raw water washdown pump prime?

    If the water pump is old and original, it may be time to replace it. Also look at the strainer - may be clogged. I replaced my original after 11 years when it quit working. These pumps are only designed for intermittent use. The motors will burn out if run continuously.
