I was cleaning up and I found this post I printed out.
I never did change out the heater. It's still making hot water.
I think I got stumped on how to get it out without taking the countertop off.

I wonder if the new insta-hots got any better since I posted this in 2018!

I have never seen it. I'm wondering if it's under my generator. Previous owner pulled out the crusaders and the gas generator and put in Detroits and a new diesel generator. My suspicion is that they might have painted over the number or it exists under the new generator location. Screenshot 2025-01...

I know I asked this before and someone was nice enough to answer and send a picture, but where is the USCG Documentation number located on the 1990 12 Meter Express? The hull id is on the swim platform. I can't find the old post.

She is for sale so I need to find it.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, figured it out. There are some really old looking volume controls that are apparently still working. One of my kids may have turned them to 0. I'm removing them, any one need one of these...Bob? The amp is dead, since I got all working minus the amp. Bought the SonicHub2 so we'll see how that go...

I found this on the site for a 12M Convertible (EL L SEA) This is how the boat was numbered originally. The changes in number happen in between the toggle, volume knob, etc. Master Left K1>K15>K25 Master Right K2>K16>K26 Crew Left K3>K19 Crew Right K4>K18 Salon Left K5>K19 Salon Right K6>K20 Stereo ...

I wrote to VDO, now Veratron, asking for input. ============================================ Hello Tom, Thanks for your mail and sorry for the delay in response. Unfortunately Veratron does not offer the “Spring” adapter or similar kit to be used with rudder angle sensor. The background story is tha...

Thank you for the detailed photos. I assumed I would not find it so I started sketching a replacement before you commented. Funny stuff.

I found a video on my phone where I filmed that L bracket that you referred to while I was working on my power steering. Since the spring is in good shape and the hose clamp is still there, I’m assuming that this L bracket came out from the hose clamp and shot somewhere in the area. I took a quick l...

I found this on line, probably getting close.

Over the weekend my rudder angle gauge showed 30 degrees and it doesn't move when I turn the wheel. I went to to look at the starboard rudder area where the unit is located. Without fully committing to crawling and sliding back there, I could see that there was about a 6" spring hanging there a...

I just put in a Good F850, see my posting under "12 Meter Pulpit" Tom Ring and his son were always available to answer any questions.
Installation was easy. 4 holes for studs and two 3-1/8 holes, one for motor one for rope/chain. And it's low profile.

Thanks for feed back. Any helm switch pics? Not much real estate to work with.

Almost done. I realized from the top picture that the piece of wood that was in there actually split when I took the pulpit apart. I thought it was two pieces of wood that joined together. It was actually 5200'd in there. I had to chisel out the 5200 and the wood. Cleaned up everything. Good recomme...
