My boat had a Racor 2010 with the removable top and replaceable element when I bought her. I kept that set up when I replaced the Yanmar YSB12G with a Perkins...
Hi, Paul L., et al Jamestown Distributors is also pushing Smith & Co. CPES. It is the JD Deal of the Week. On their site they have a video and some articles,...
Paul, The filter was made in England and is marked CAV (I'm guessing the manufacturer). It's cast aluminum (I think) and breaks down into three part when you...
Here's some other info that could be mated to your post. http://www.rotdoctor.com/glass/GLrotrepair.html#deck Personally, I see rotted core as...rotted core,...
For what it's worth this is what my service manual shows for the fuel filter. But as John has told me no two Watkins will ever be exactly the same :-). If...
I have kept detailed records of my fuel additions over my 13+ years of ownership and after almost 500 hours of engine run time the 1GM10 has consumed just...
In 2007 I changed the old filter to a Raycor unit and have the filter changed every other year. So far no issues. It also fit in the exact location as the old...
Now that's a good idea. I live in fear, not of running out of diesel, but of getting down to the gunky stuff and clogging filters when least expecting...
I mounted one under the sink in the galley, slightly behind the keel, using a method suggested by Conrad. I placed a short piece of PVC pipe using modeling...
Bob, I mounted a transducer from the inside - stuck it to the hull under the v-berth with silicone, just aft of the water tank. This is a good location for...
I used the transducer that came with the depth sounder. Just put a thick layer of silicone (be sure you don't have any air bubbles in the silicone). I did this...
All, Additional note about tank cleaning: I mentioned that I drained and replaced the fuel in my tank every 3-5 years previously. I live in Indiana and sail...
The wax and clay ideas are creative. I do want to be forward of the keel. One reason I liked this boat was its shallow draft, which I hope to make use of. ...
The fish finder is actually a good idea, and I was going in that direction myself when I replaced my depth find this past summer. In fact, I kind of wish I...
I've never used one myself, but see a benefit in having a 'picture' of the bottom. Mounting the unit itself needs some thought, and also being able to...

To All Captains, I'm trying to replace the lamp shades on the cabin lights. (12 VDC) I can't find anything to replace the plastic tube they used as a shade....
I had great luck with a fish finder/GPS unit I got. Dang, can not remember the brand, but I got it from Bass Pro Shop, and I mounted the transducer in a 3"...

Hugh, That would be great! I've had no luck finding anything on my own. If you have 4 of them I'd be happy to pay the shipping and supply you with a ...
