    Tempted by 1990 Sailfish 25

    I'm currently wrapping up a year long process of replacing all stringers and the transom on a 93 252gt. all of it was rotten and water logged. don't buy it without a survey, unless you want to get into a nice project. it's a great boat, it's a great hull design and handles chop extremely well.

    Freezer plates 33 express

    if one is working and the other is not I would suspect they are separate systems. do they have have separate switches to turn them on and off? with the helm box. is it a digital controller or a mechanical thermostat with a knob? and with the fish box. you'll need to follow the steps in my...

    Freezer plates 33 express

    I'm not familiar with the exact systems in use here. but I work with marine AC and refrigeration regularly. I would think that the fish box plates and the AC are 2 separate systems. this is because a single system cannot produce both freezing temperatures for the fish box, and above freezing...

    Converting refrigerator from dc to ac/dc

    do these refrigerators use the Danfoss BD compressor? if so, switching to AC/DC is as simple as changing the compressor controller unit. I can look up the model number if anyone is interested.

    Ac/heat

    the location of the return air vent really doesn't matter in regards to the evap. as long as you can connect the blower to the register with flex duct it will work just fine. I'm not familiar with the exact setup in your boat, but in general most marine AC just sit inside a cabinet that has a...

    Ac/heat

    the model and brand won't really matter. just match the btu size. most smaller marine AC units are stand alone. they just require the power and water connection. so if you had a dometic you could easily swap it out for a webasto or any other brand. I work in marine AC and refrigeration so let...

    transom - is this structural?

    redoing from the inside. the interior transom glass has cracked and delaminated on the upper port side. going to cut the cap and pull it off since it has cracks on the stern section. that should give us enough access to redo everything from the inside. I'm also going to relocate the batteries...

    trim tab pump 93 sailfish 252

    the leak is somewhere in the pump module/reservoir. I can see traces of the fluid under the area of the pump. I was just wondering if a particular part/seal normally fails or if I need to dig into it and find out
