As always, you guys are great and have more useful information than any other source. It makes being a newbie so much easier and gives us confidence.

Yes, at least the light goes on.

Mine doesn't run at all. The StarMarine unit is 04406143A, whereas the one at WestMarine is 04405143A. I have no idea what difference this makes. Is there a more reliable brand?

Apparently the fresh water pump on my 2006 25' Cruiser is toast. This is the proposed replacement: FloJet Quad DC Water System Pump, 12VDC, 3.3Ga/min, 3.9amp, 1/2" Hose & 1/2" Thread 182134 04405143A Is this a good choice/

How's the trip so far? Any adventures? I'll be in Petaluma to greet you! ETA?

Today is the first anniversary of my getting my 2006 25' Cruiser (my first boat other than a Laser), and I want to add my thanks to all of you who contribute to this website. You have been the best support -- encouragement and guidance -- a new owner could possibly have. Thanks.

Have a good ride. Hope to see you all in Petaluma Thursday afternoon.

I used a SternSaver (available at West Marine, I think -- I ordered mine directly -- and glued it to the transom where the transducer had previously -- and improperly -- been installed. It worked fine, although the pin that holds the Stern Saver while the glue is curing didn't stay stuck to the...

I got too excited about this trip and replied before I checked my calendar. Big mistake! :sad Not only is the annual meeting of a small professional group that weekend, but I am the de facto host, since it's happening in Berkeley. I am really sad not to be making this trip, because, as a new...

Salt-Away directions say not to rinse engines with water after flushing with Salt Away because Salt Away leaves a protective coating. Is this wrong?

Could we come but not do the Delta Marina ends of the event, because we need to come from and get back to Berkeley by water? Or does that mean we miss the best parts? We'd love to be #10 if we can work out the logistics. Don Read

Tessa's V-berth does not have a cushion between the legs of the V, but it does have grooves where the cushion would appear to belong. Has anyone made an insert, and do you have plans, suggestions, warnings, photos, specifications? Thanks.[/i]

Hi, UncleR -- How did you attach your rod holders to the ceiling (probably not the right nautical term)?

I think I have the same pump that Ferret 30 has. Is there any way to test whether the interior float switch is working other than by removing the two screws and seeing whether the float moves up and down?

My transom mounted Raymarine transducer and bracket had to be removed to properly attach the transducer to the bracket. When the yard reattached the bracket to the transom, they did not put new sealant in two old screw holes. I assumed that was because the old sealant was doing the job. They...

I want to take a 3 or 4 day cruise by water (no trailering - don't have a truck) from the Berkeley Marina to explore the Delta. I have a 25' Cruiser with twin 90's. Can anyone suggest a good route and a good place to base the trip once we get up there? Timing is probably late September...

I have a Flo-Jet water pump on my 2006 25' Cruiser, located aft port. The system seems to have a lot of air in it, and I don't know how to get it out. The water flow is very uneven. Any ideas how to get it running right, or is this the time to replace the water pump with Jabsco "marine"...

SSI is going to make me two pockets of the original size for $265 each. The alternative was way too complicated for me. Don

I just finished painting the bottom of my 25' Cruiser. I did the work myself under the supervision of Berkeley Marine Center. They like a product called Sharkskin. I keep my boat at the Berkeley Marina all the time. It has held up well for 3 days. It's a pretty dark blue. Don

The rim broke to pieces when I removed it :sad
