So, curiosity got the best of me. I went back out, and turned the battery switch on. Went to the port side, reach down and activated the float switch, and the pump came on, without the helm switch needing to be activated. My thinking, is that incase the boat was unattended, in inclimate...

Some resurrection of an old thread. Looking at the photo's Alma's Only posted, I'm seeing the 5 nylock nuts that will be removed, and I'm also seeing the lock nut and adjusting nut on the shift shaft. If the adjuster and lock nuts are exposed, and dealt with, and the five nylocks removed, will...

Is this the one your running Bob? http://www.mastervolt.com/marine/produc ... ifications

Thanks Bob. I cut the starboard wires, and pulled the pump and switch from that side. The port side now works like it use to...ie, when the battery switch is turned on, there is nothing. When the Helm switch for the bilge pumps is turned on, the pump runs. I didn't check, to see if when the...

Like Roger said, they should be just bolted on from the bottom. Cabela's has some nice seats for replacements.

I just have two wires on the float switch( in or out with power, on either leg, they aren't polarized), and two wires on the 1100 pump itself. The pump wires are +/-, but I put them back like they were. Power feeds to one leg of the switch. The other leg of the switch, is connected to the +...

I had considered adding a 3 bank unit, incase whoever buys the boat wants to upgrade with an extra house battery. Appreciate the input. The Defender link didn't work, but with the name, I should be able to get there.

I'm in the process of switching these out. They had worked fine up until this last time, when I replaced the batteries, and one side was not working. No biggie(other then the usual braille method I use when working in this area) i decided to change them out. I started on the side that wasn't...

I have had the Guest 2610 on the Katie Kat from beginning until now. When i put the AGM's in, 4 years ago(just changed back to a Napa Dual Purpose), the Charger was still working. Either the age, or not liking the AGM's, has resulted in it not working now. I looked at one of the other threads...

I copied it from the thumbnails, just as you suspected. Previews are like do overs. What fun is that. Anybody can get it right with a preview. "Damn the torpedos..." or sumthin like that :D I'm drinking right now, we'lll see if this sticks when I'm sober.

[/img] Well, that's kind of it...........hope ya'll have your glasses on. :mrgreen: I'll get this figured out. [/img] Okay, end of hijack. Now back to the discussion of safety, opinions, and mods. Sorry for the hijack. It just took on a life of it's own.

Yes, they do.

The biggest improvement, is the padding under your thighs and keester, The stock seat had none. It felt like I was sitting on the board after awhile.

They're at Cabelas. Green, blue, tan, and grey.

Thanks for that :D Is that just using the Img tab, and a cut and paste inserted from my album? I noticed on the forum, where somebody else had hated being shoehorned behind the wheel and shifted the seat out. It helps a lot on the 24. I've never been behind the Helm on a 25.5 to know if it is...

I think you'll be much happier with the new Helm seat. My biggest issues with the Helm seating on our 24, was it was uncomfortable for any long runs, and it was shoved behind the wheel. I'm 6'1", and felt stuck behind the wheel. I think the one I bought, came from Cabelas also. Good quality, and...

By the way.... While your re-rigging your rode, have a look in the rode locker, and see how it is sealed up at the bottom, and where the drain is. Could be a chance to fix two problems. :wink:

Wrecks are always stealing ground tackle. I think I'd get a decent anchor for the bottoms you usually encounter, and then get a sacrificial wreck or questionable bottom one similar to what Bob mentioned with the rebar, to use when you know your in a bad spot. I've seen the flexible tine ones...

It depends on how often you use the boat. Carbs get varnish build up on the inside from normal use, so the Seafoam is great for handling that. A good fuel stabilizer is a must in this day and age, even when running non-ethanol fuel, IMHO. On a daily driver, the fuel is turned over fairly...

"And all of this will happen, just as soon as we pay off the National Debt!" No real hurry then. I was all set to order some eye shades off of ebay, so I could nap on the way. :mrgreen:
