    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    Hi Dennis, sorry to resurrect this old thread, but doing so as at the time of the conversation, I was convinced to move over to Yamalube 2m oil and see if their claimed lower ash content would resolve my carbon buildup issue especially in the O2 sensors. Well, it didn't help and might have been...

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    Yeah, no worries...nothing meant to be cross in any way. Sometimes posts and words are impersonable and are mis-interpreted. I have tried PVC...it does not do well at all. I currently have starboard as the trim replacement in cockpit area and even with screw holes enlarged, oblong and loose...

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    Hi Dennis, I assumed Johnyrude was responding to you based on the sequence of the string. I was agreeing with you about the PVC and responding to Johnyrude's comments. I am not agitated. He is saying drive to Home Depot. ;)

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    So I think Dennis and I are asking specifically about this more in detail. Is it PVC or not? We know PVC is too soft and not a good alternative. Unfortunately, getting in the car and driving to the nearest Home Depot is over an hour drive for me, so if I knew more about what it was, I will check...

    Simrad Nss 12 evo3 ISSUES!

    In some cases it works, but not when they have a software bug. Hard reset did not work.

    Simrad Nss 12 evo3 ISSUES!

    I have had the Lowrance HDS's for years and gone through several models. I now have the HDS 12 Live units and they have been great overall and satisfactory performance. However, just this year the last update screwed up the Sirius Weather and Fish mapping to a point where it was useless and...

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    I replaced my cockpit trim with Starboard several years ago. Not happy with it, but no other options other than teak or would maybe get some IPE wood and paint it as I think it is water resistant and will hold paint better than a synthetic. For my helm area, still has the duratrim. Used the...

    Fell Marine Wireless Cutoff

    Yes, and they replaced both the hub and fob. I have multiple fob’s and they all do it.

    Fell Marine Wireless Cutoff

    Not really sure how they connect. Fell marine did not offer up anything more than their external antenna. I also read that interference from the motors can cause them to disconnect.

    Fell Marine Wireless Cutoff

    Mine works ok, but I can't trust it when going to the bow as sometimes it will shut down the engines. Even with the external extended antenna option. I have been at the transom fishing before with it in my pocket and it shut down the engines when trolling for some reason. So now, it sits on the...

    WTB : Isinglass Enclosure and Boat Cover for 228 Seafarer

    Surely, that is not the same A&J. The one in Vanceboro NC are still in business. Ironic that they have the exact same name.

    WTB : Isinglass Enclosure and Boat Cover for 228 Seafarer

    When new, they are so nice. I got 12 years out of mine and took best care I could. Hoped they would have lasted longer. Guess the sun just constantly eats on them even though they are under cover for about 5-6 months each year.

    WTB : Isinglass Enclosure and Boat Cover for 228 Seafarer

    Getting my curtains replaced now at A&J. Crazy expensive compared to when they did them back in 2012! I expected to be a bit more, but wow, it is a lot more! Had I realized, should have shopped around some first just so I could sanitize the price.

    How many degrees radar wedge needed for 2006 Gulfstream Hardtop .

    Any reason why not installing on the front edge of the hardtop? I mounted mine there and it does a great job finding smaller stuff in front, night or day of course. No wedges or mount needed.

    SOLD!!! 2005 Grady White 282 Sailfish must sell asap!

    Maybe add in the cost estimate to fix with a new block will help the sale.

    Yamalube 2M 2 cycle oil

    Hi Dennis, not sure about the OX66's, but for the HPDI's, the only side affect I know of is low idle on cold startup. Usually they should fire up to 600 or 700 rpms once started. They also when started will have a quick short rev up and settle the the 600/700 rpm idle. When O2 is carboned up...

    Yamalube 2M 2 cycle oil

    Hi Dennis, I should have mentioned. I use ring free plus and startron religiously. HPDI’s are just notorious for O2 carbon buildup.

    Yamalube 2M 2 cycle oil

    Thanks Seasick for the kind words! Definately enjoying the retirement phase! Just for kicks, I pulled the 1 gallon jug of emergency 2 stroke oil out of the cabin. It is one of the last gallons of Pennzoil that I used to use which is Semi synthetic. Not for sure how old it is, but looks like...
