2005 25' Cruiser. My NORCOLD stopped running on 12v but runs on shore power. Where is the fuse for the 12v circuit? All other thoughts are welcome. Thanks, SJH

I've switched to a Fortress-11 on Catleen and I like the reduced weight but the anchor does not correctly seat in the bow roller. Instead of seating in the ready position, it rotates 90 degrees and seats sideways. I've noticed there are rollers that have a deep grove, mine is simply tapered. Any...

Any thoughts on the best place for interior hull USCG Documentation Numbering? Here's the USCG parameters: The vessel must have the official number permanently affixed in block-type Arabic numerals of not less than 3 inches in height, preceded by the letters “NO .” on some clearly visible...

Moved Catleen from Chesapeake to Maine and will need to reregister her. Has anyone USCG documented their 25'? I've got a USCG net tonnage worksheet but thought I'd ask around before I get out the tape measure. USCG needs five net tons to qualify and informs me that "Vessels of more than 25 feet...

Is anybody carrying an Achilles LT4 on the cabin top of a 25' Cruiser? I bought one but it sure seems heavier than the advertised 57 lbs. the plywood flooring adds a lot of weight. Suggestions?

After ten years of salt water, my Lencos have locked up. I need to replace them, but I have no idea how I'm going to reconnect the new units. The wiring is not accessible from outside the hull, and the wires run somewhere under the deck, I guess. Has anyone done this before?

Symptom: Hot water only warm. Plan: Replace Seaward heater element and thermostat. Question: Anyone replaced these parts before? It looks pretty straightforward but looks can be deceiving.

Catleen came with a 30 gph fuel/water filter but it looks like 30 gph is not recommended for 150 HP engines. I bought a 60 gph Racor to swap out for the 30 gph. Any downsides to going big?

Has anyone installed the Raymarine EV-200 autopilot on a 25 Cruiser and networked it to a Raymarine C80 chart plotter with radar. Feedback is welcome. A number of questions come to mind: 1. Is the EV-200 the right unit for the 25 Cruiser? 2. Will the "EV Sensor Core" become a de facto...

I'm seriously thinking of installing a S1000 autopilot (if I can find one) on my 25' Cruiser with a single 150 Honda. Here are my initial questions: 1. I know the S1000 has been discontinued. Does Raymarine offer another product that will do the job better? 2. I want to interface with...

For anyone interested, I bought a Honda BF150 Service Manual searchable PDF from a source in the UK off E-Bay for around $15. It works and appears to be the real deal. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-BF135A- ... OU:US:3160

My 2004 B150 has less than 200 hours on it and I'm thinking of replacing the impeller. Here are my questions: 1. Should I? It seems like a number of C-Brats have gotten major hours on their equipment without obvious wear. 2. Does anyone have a link or PDF of the factory procedure? 3...

I've just sent my Raymarine raydome in for diagnosis, it's not transmitting. It has less than 250 hrs of use. The local Raymarine tech told me that he's had a lot of problems with Raymarine and has stopped selling their products because of it. He says Garmin is the best radar-chart plotter...

I'm just about to pull the trigger and buy an autopilot for Catleen (25' cruiser). She has a Raymarine c80 unit on-board that I'd like to use for course input. Any suggestions?

Does it matter which battery you switch to when you anchor for the night? It seems that the Number 2 (port side) battery may be wired directly to the Wallas? Thanks for any input. SJH

My 95D Wallas stove starts and works fine but the fan for the heater top doesn't work when I lower the hood. The unit has very few hours on it. Any thoughts?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a single handle mixer to replace the leaky, inconvenient dual twist-valve unit that came with my 25’ Cruiser? Thanks, SJH

On a 2005 25' cruiser . . . If I select Battery #1 (the starboard side battery) with the battery selector switch, does that physically isolate Battery #1 so that I can directly connect a trolling motor to Battery #1 and not risk running down both units? Thanks, SJH

This vessel was spotted north bound at Hains Point on the Potomac River in downtown Washington, D.C. on April 20 around noon loosely escorted by a couple coasties. The vessel bore no markings or ensign but was piloted by camo-clad crew. Its most unusual feature was that it was powered by eight...

I've noticed that some owners remove their kicker when trailering. I'm considering adding a kicker on a mount that might add maybe 110 pounds to the transom. Isn't this less than the weight of, say, dual 90 Hondas? My 25' has a Honda 150 main. Any thoughts? Thanks, Steve Hantzis
