Fit a store-bought a/c in the forward top hatch? Friend did that while cruising and it worked well.

Hi. I have a single Cummins 5.9 6Bt (2000) with upper and lower helm. Lower helm has no issues. Upper helm has WIF light and alarm. I’ve replaced both Racors and the secondary filter on the engine. No water evident, but I did not drain the Racors, just bled them. I sprayed the board and...

New Next-Gen 5kw $15k installed We lived with solar panels and a Honda 2000 for 6 years. Finally broke down. The 36’ Heritage single 6BT 5.9 didn’t come with a genset so it was a full install. Absolutely love it. Can barely hear it outside and not too bad inside. San Diego

HI. Wondering how the dockstar thruster is working out. I'm thinking hard about it. I would mount it on the stern. Boat is a 36 trawler in San Diego. Thanks Dave

I have 36 Heritage East Sun deck trawler in San Diego. It had an ice maker when I bought the boat, but it was trashed and I pulled it out. We’ve been going through 20lbs bags of ice for 7 years now and I think it’s high time I get an ice maker. So, do I get a typical west marine built in or an...

Hi. I have a rear hatch manufactured by MANSHIP. It's a SS frame with tinted 1/2" acrylic panel, 28" x 28". The frame is in excellent shape but the panel is sun cracked. If I could clear it up (thinking headlight restorer kit??) I will. Has anyone taken such a hatch to a local plastics Mfg...

Hi all. I have a 2000 36 Heritage East. The rear window is sun-cackled and needs replacement. Are these windows readily available or custom? Thanks Dave in San Diego

Hi. I have a 2000 36’ Heritage East with a 5.96BT single Cummins. Love the boat, but with the engine centered and fuel tanks port and starboard, it tens to list to starboard slightly when fuel is low. This causes water to accumulate in the fly bridge. Thinking of installing a drain up there...

I have a 2000 36’ Heritage East sundeack with a single 5.96BT Cummins. I love this boat. Bought it in Alameda, CA with 400 hours, it now has 985. I brought it down to San Pedro (LA), and now we’re in San Diego. Single engine is no problem especially if you have the bow thruster.

Rats. That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask. At least I can salvage the AP. Thanks

I have a year 2000 SIMRAD CA42 that is shot and isn't supported. I have a Robertson AP22 autopilot and a IS15 sounder. Can I keep the AP and sounder and hook them up to one of the new Raytheon MFDs that connect via WiFi to tablets? I also have a ANRITSU radar dome. Really don't want ot replace...

Thanks Ron. Newbie on these dual tanks...There are valves at the bottom of each tank that feed the one "T" that feeds the RACOR. I found two values at the top of each tank. So, If I trace the line that goes to the other tank, that would be the crossover line. Just close, say the port crossover...

Hey everyone. I just climbed out of the engine room (36 Heritage Sundeck, single 5.9 cummins, with tanks port and starboard. I see where the fuel goes into the tanks, I see where the fuel goes from the top of the tank to the RACOR, and I see another line that I assume is the return (goes from...

Tom B: what did you do about the water tanks under the aft bed? I might have compounded the problem when I filled the water tanks, then added 50 gals to port. I noticed the shower floor in the aft cabin head, starboard side that lists, had water under the wood grate. So, I'm hearing that I need...

Hi. Anyone have this problem? I have a 36 Heritage sundeck with a single cummins. Fuel tanks are port and starboard. The boat lists to starboard. Most of the cabinetry, batteries, heads, are on starboard side. I put in 50 gallons on the Port side and it all flowed to the starboard tank. I am...
