Re: Removing Bar. 85’ 11 Meter

On the 12 meter, once you pull the icemaker you can jam yourself all the way in. This is also the "pull" pathway for cables from the flybridge. You can also see the backs of the power inlets from there.

Re: Lithium House Bank Batteries

Re: 12 Meter Pulpit

Re: Back light for guages

Nothing seems to come on when I turn on the panel lights switch. There doesn't seem to be a Fuse/ Switch for panel lights at the main panel? I could not find any information on this in my owners manual. My big problem was grounding issues, as the "backplane" of the gauge cluster acts and ...

Re: Back light for guages
