I do not have an accumulator tank. Which shurflo pumps have the ability to work without an accumulator tank (I have a local supplier that has a Shurflo 4901-6202 on his shelf that I could pick up today)? Based on what I'm reading online I think I want to stay away from the jabsco vflo (seems...

My Jabsco Sensor Max 14 3.7gpm pump just died on me. This is the pump that supplies my fresh water system. I was about to order a replacement (it looks like the sensor max has been replaced by the Par Max) and figured I should ask opinions of pumps. Anyone recommend switching it out for a...

Anyone in the Pinellas, Fl area have a rec for a detailer? Not looking for a complete overhaul right now, just decks and isinglass cleaning.

Sorry RC, I missed your post. I assume you already figured out your floor, but in my case there is a grate under the salon sofa. I was only pulling out the blower, but it looked like the entire unit would have fit out of the opening.

Great suggestions, thanks guys. I am going I give James a call in the morning, if he is busy I will get with Mastry, great resource to have nearby for sure.

+1 on the Bromide Tablet, although look through the threads, there are mixed opinions on them.

Looking for recs for general maintenance on my Yanmars (twin 4LHA-STP). Boat located in St Petersburg (Pass-a-Grille). Can't find time to do the maintenance that I like to keep up with, time to pay someone to take care of the little stuff so I don't start letting it slip. Obviously for minor...

Just a heads up, my Hunter Douglas blinds had a bad pulley a little while back (2008 34t). I asked a friend who owns a blinds company and he informed me that Hunter Douglas has a lifetime warranty. These were the wood mini blinds, may be different with the aluminum, but at least worth checking...

Ron, Sounds like a brilliant resolution, assuming their are no condensation issues with the wood plenum (not sure how thorough your insulating was). My issue was just a bad blower motor (which just for future knowledge can not be sourced by itself, you have to buy the whole blower assembly)...

Took it to a motor guy yesterday, no dice (though he found it a very interesting motor). Ordered the marine air blower, should have it installed next week.

Yep, that $340 blower is looking better and better. Still hoping the local shop will be willing to refurb though. Find out tomorrow, if not, off to the marine air distributor for the complete blower assembly.

Sounds right, my '08 does have the composite drain pan, other than that not sure how improved it is if I am replacing a fan motor after 6 years.

This is the best I can do for a model number (motor is at my office, I can get any illegible numbers from the photo in the am). I called a couple of shops around here and they all say they don't repair motors that small, just replace them. I've tried to explain it's not the usual 1/4 horse...

Just for any future mainship 34t owners out there, I pulled the unit under the couch in the salon and it was a marine air VTD16K-HV. The forward stateroom is a 7k unit.

Just to update, I pulled the blower out, wired it to ac power, and determined it is a bad motor. Working on finding a shop that can rebuild (I did a search online for a replacement motor, but this seems to be a little used EBM motor that I can not find by itself). Once I got it out I also...
