Re: 10 meter advice on intake air and exhaust

That would explain why my setup is different. Diesels. Wish I could be of more help.

Are you gas or diesel?

We have a 1988 12m Sport Fisherman, so I am thinking many things will apply to yours.

Re: New F32 Owner tips on Vberth and Screen Door

I bought a generic aluminum screen door from Home Depot and cut it down. Took about 20 minutes and $80 and it is perfect.

Re: Beautiful Spring Day in February

Our February in SW Florida has been rough as well. Stayed on the boat last weekend and had to run the A/C the whole time.

Re: Made a new dinghy cover!

If we don't tow ours, one of us just drives ours behind in the lee of the big boat.

Re: Radar

I have all Garmin, but since it's really an integrated system, it was sort of my only choice once I went with that manufacturer. Do you have any other chartplotters or electronics on there now?

Re: Automatic Fire Extinguish System

Mine is and 80's vintage Halon. I pulled it and took it to a fire extinguisher shop, where he weighed and checked it. It passed and he said as long as it keeps checking out every year or two, there is no need to replace it. He even said the older ones put out fires better, but the EPA changed their ...

Re: Project "Tri Fly"

Thanks Barrie. Yes, the Vacuflush is the cats meow. A word of caution though, advise all landlubbers to be careful with your system. We had a guest try to flush an enormous amount of toilet paper combined with a rather large bowel movement. It didn't turn out well. The hole in the bottom of the hea...

Re: Vacuflush Pump Help

I agree with P-Dogg. The Vaccuflush never smells and uses very little water to flush. It also uses fresh water which keeps the smell in the holding tank down. They are simple systems and once you replace the bad parts you will have a great system. If you have any mechanical aptitude at all they are...

Re: Hatch hardware

I'm not sure how you are measuring, but Bomar confirmed by serial number the hatch on our 1988 International was a Bomar N2039-103. Looks like the N 2039-10AX is the replacement. Double check the dimensions. If there are still serial numbers on the hatch, Bomar, now owned by Pompanette, was very hel...
