    NMEA2K Backbone placement

    There also ain't much to a "NMEA Backbone", either. It sounds much more impressive than the lil' pile o parts you will have.

    NMEA2K Backbone placement

    Not sure what you are really after. The backbone should be reasonably close to the equipment connected to it, and close to a power source. On my old Mako, I added it under the helm area. Powered through a fuse in a Blue Seas box. Behind or under the helm is most likely, but every boat is so...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I called this out earlier - I believe his interpretation of the hose configuration is incorrect. Your comment aligns with that as well.

    When does a repower not make economic sense?

    Re-powering boats never makes economic sense. (Covid blip notwithstanding). That said, everyone's situation is different. If you plan to sell in 2 or 3 years, you will not recoup all the repower costs, due to depreciation. That said, the boat will sell faster, and for more money with the...

    Removing Lewmar Trust Joystick 330 Express

    Easiest path is to remove the entire electronics pod. Disconnect the ram, then fold up AND SECURE the electronics box. Undo all the screws at the perimeter, break the cauling seal, and lift out. That will give you good access to the underside. You may also need to open up the electric...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    If both engines die, it would point towards a venting type of issue, as there are two separate fuel lines running between the tank and valves. If only one engine dies, it could be a fuel line kink or other blockage in that particular combination of lines and valves. The odds of both valves...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Assuming the hoses align with the color codes on them, then yes, both are pulling from same tank. But your logic is flawed the valves are not tied to a tank. Each valve has a hose to each tank, and the middle one is the one which goes to the engine. It would be more accurate to say that the...

    Lewmar Bow Thruster on Express 330

    Sounds like an issue with the switch/control head.

    Simrad linear feedback unit

    100% agree. However just repowered so boating funds for non emergency items are minimal, hence the idea of the band aid.

    Simrad linear feedback unit

    Great question. No idea. I know the one Sea Star makes will work.

    Power to Kenwood stereo on 360 Express

    Not sure how the 360 is set up, but if it is similar to the 330, (and a previous owner has not muddled with things) the stereo power comes from the main AC/DC panel in cabin. Remove this and validate that the switch is good. If switch is good, and it is wired as mine is, the problem is...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    Sorry yeah, had it backwards.

    Fuel Tank Issue

    So no fuel through either valve when set to 'aux'? One thing to check is that the vent is not blocked for the aux fuel fill.

    The obvious. They are out of gear, right?

    Radar observation

    Best thing one can do with radar, is run it on good days, and pay attention to everything that gets near you. That experience will really help when you end up in fog, or if you run at night. Trusting your instruments is vital - and knowing how big the rings on the screen are compared to what...

    Complaint

    Seems the same as most others to me. What issues are you running into? Yes, my first instinct was to just say it was you, but then you’d have been right! GG. Had been phenomenally helpful to me. Would love to give back
