    Fresh Water Pump

    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...

    Fresh Water Pump

    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 I was about to order a replacement (it looks like the sensor max has been replaced by the Par Max) and figured I should ask opinions of pumps.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...

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    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.

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

    Yanmar Mechanic St Petersburg

    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...

    Replacing mini blinds on Mainship

    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...

    AC access Mainship 2006 34 trawler

    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)...

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    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.

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    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.

    34t Salon AC

    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.

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    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...

    34t Salon AC

    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.

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    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...

    AC access Mainship 2006 34 trawler

    Donna, sounds like the same unit as in the forward berth, thanks for pulling that up. Cafe has a great link to an inexpensive fan, I just need to get dimensions to make sure it will fit in that hole we have for our AC. The fan that we have is the HV, which I think means the motor is inside the...

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    That looks like it Rick. Thanks for the resource. I hope it is not the circuit board, I assume that is a proprietary item that will not be cheap to repair/replace. The fan was difficult to turn, hopefully it means bad bearings or something similar that can easily be mechanically repaired. I will...

    AC access Mainship 2006 34 trawler

    Cafe, thanks for the link. I will try to match up the specs from the one I pulled off my unit and if it looks like it will work that will be a great option.

    AC access Mainship 2006 34 trawler

    Got to the ac unit and found a bad blower motor. Started a new thread on replacing just that component vs the whole system. Hopefully I can repair the existing motor to save the cost of a new blower ($620 was the price I was quoted, seems very high for a $1500 system). I am going to try to pull...

    34t Salon AC

    Anybody know what unit was installed in 08 34t? I got a model number off the stateroom unit (marine air VCD7K/2-HV) and am assuming it is the same in he salon but I can't see the model number on it without pulling the whole thing out. I need to replace the blower (or the whole system depending...

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    Great idea Rick, I am going to be on the boat this afternoon, I already have the blower removed, I will play with it and see if I can pull the motor from it then find a replacement electric motor (or bring in for a rebuild as Cal suggested). I will also try the suppliers you mentioned to get a...

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    Thanks for the help all. I will be at the boat today to pull the part number off the blower. Getting that down to a reasonable price makes it an easy decision.

    Replace Salon AC Marine Air

    My salon ac fan motor died on me. I had an ac tech (non marine, friend in the HVAC business) check it out and he determined the motor needs to be replaced ( it definitely wasn't blowing, condenser was running, he ruled out capacitor). I called Dometic supplier down here and got a price of $620...

    AC access Mainship 2006 34 trawler

    I know this has been dead for a couple years, but it seems to be the only reference on this forum to accessing the main salon AC. I may have the same issue as BellaDonna, my AC compressor is running, but no air is blowing from the vents. I assumed it was a fan motor, but if a joint for the duct...
