Could I have done something if I switched from dockside power to generator without shutting off the breaker. I couldn't swear I never did that but I read in a post that it could damage some components.

Haven't tried that this year. Presently if I shut the AC off with the cabin switch everything shuts off except the compressor. Last season I just turned off the AC switch in the cabin and everything shut off and I always left the breaker on. As stated last season in most cases when I got to the boat...

I know it's an Aquatemp non-split system. Data plate is unreadable. The reset button had to be reset last season almost on a regular basis when I'd get to the boat and turn on the AC and this year when I turned it on I had to reset it as well. When I did so it seemed a little crusty, not smooth when...

Has anyone come across this issue. I have an 85 10 meter express. I just put the boat in for the season and turned the AC breaker on and before I hit the cabin controls the compressor kicked in. Regardless of what I do it won't turn off unless I kill the breaker. The unit works, blowing air but not ...

Well I spent about 8 or 9 hours yesterday taking care of this. I removed the old system and kept the toilet system like I planned. It winds up that the built in tank lid is fiberglass on both sides with 1 inch thick plywood sandwiched in between and a total thickness of about an inch and a half or m...

The tank is part of the boat. It's built into it between the stringers on the centerline and bulkheaded in fore and aft between the engines. There's a fiberglass lid on top sealed and screwed down. The inside of the hull bottom is the base of the tank. It has to be plumbed from the top, no other opt...

I posted some questions a month ago about the type of MSD system I have on my 1985 10 Meter Express and received a lot of responses and I thank you all. To a lot of peoples disbelief it winds up I have a Mansfield vacuum flush toilet with a model TDX-S treat and discharge system not plumbed to the b...

I appreciate the links in the response. Discharging overboard is not that easy in New Jersey. The entire Intercoastal Waterway including all rivers from Manasquan to Cape May and all of Barnegat Bay and the bays south are no discharge zones. If I want to discharge I need to go into the ocean. They'r...

I'm sure everything you say is correct however opposite my batteries on the holding tank lid near the cabin bulkhead is where the plumbing should be going in and out of the tank according to photos I've seen on this forum. Instead the fresh water system pump and I believe the circulating pump for th...

OK I traced all the hoses and determined there is no plumbing in or out of the holding tank. It's simply a treat and discharge setup. There's a gallon jug of treatment that is pumped into a small tank of sorts then overboard. This set up is forward of the starboard engine and I've never seen this ty...

As a matter of fact it does help me. I forgot about those volume control knobs. I have one in the dinette and 1 at the console. That would probably explain why I can't figure out the wiring it's probably going through them also. I think you just made up my mind to rewire everything. Thanks for the h...

Does anyone know how the speakers are wired. The factory wiring is in place but the stereo was replaced and there's a mess of splices and only the speakers above the dinette work. I replaced the two by the driver and passenger front seats but only got one to work. The driver side had a black/white 2...

I'll be on the boat tomorrow and I will take some pictures because to be quite honest I've never had a boat that has that type of treat and discharge system. I am only familiar with holding tank and macerator setups. To answer your question I really don't know what type it is but I will try to find ...

BTW its an Express not Mid Cabin model.

New to the forum and this boat. My problem is I can't find the fill or pump-out hoses into my holding tank. I know where the tank is and I see in forum photos where the fittings should be but mine are not there. What I believe are there is the fresh water and ac/heat circulation pumps. Boat has no d...
