Top notch! I'll be bringing a boat from Oregon to Alaska this fall. If we stop near by I'll let you know, maybe we can trade boat tours

Wow those look beautiful. I'll probably be doing a smaller manifold similar to that for the gensets and hydraulic engine. Very clean setup. I had thought about welding barbed fittings directly to the square tube as I hate having excess fittings/threaded connections as a potential for leaks. I...

Yes that's a very good idea which I'm sure not nearly enough people do. If not for the next owner if only one person has the knowledge of the systems on board and they fall overboard, have a medical emergency, etc it can really be a problem. I'll be putting a printer, scanner and laminator on a...

Those aren't "hose clamps". I used a tool called "clamptite" and stainless safety wire. They're not reusable but with a little practice they can hold enormous pressure. For hose clamps I've always preferred Awab brand but have had a hard time finding them lately. ABA and Norma are also good...

I have no idea why the photo is sideways. It shows right way up on my computer.

A long overdue update. This photo is from a ways back and was during fitup so its quite a mess. I just bought some heavy wall stainless bungs, cut them in half. Welded them to a 2" stainless square tube with caps welded on the ends. I like the KISS method. Coming into the Supply manifold are my...

Quick update to an old thread. Its been working ok for awhile, just wanted to be sure I wasnt overlooking something. From port to stb- Anchor windlass disconnect "House" on common with #1 to port battery bus, #2 to stb battery bus "Port" starter on common with #1 to port battery bus, #2 to stb...

I've got a 24 volt Eberspacher D10W hydronic heater with a 7 day timer. There's 5 fans blowing across 5 radiators that are all powered by one breaker switch. I was hoping to wire in a relay so with the breaker one the hydronic would have control over the fans coming on without me having to go...

Oh excellent info. I was planning on adding a Raymarine AIS350 to my C120W in the salon and getting a C90W for the fly bridge. I just realized the AIS350 is a receive only unit. So then I thought maybe itd be better to get an Icom 506 if it'll do the same thing and with the CommandMic I could...

Oh for some reason my reply didnt go through. I do follow that thread. Very jealous of his work. I was looking for something a bit simpler than the manifold he built. The picture is rather crude. The boat has two Holley fuel pumps used to prime the system after a racor filter change. I would...

Because I made some changes the photo should show three separate manifolds even though it looks like two. The check valve would be a hard line connecting the two lower manifolds. I'll work on getting better photos of the valving as it sits as well as a schematic of it.

Hi I've got a Uniflite with a flybridge and am redoing some things. I've got a Raymarine multifunction unit with radar and will be adding AIS and AP. I'm wanting two VHF radios -separate antennas- at the salon driving station and one up top on the flybridge. I was hoping to have one black box...

Hi I recently bought a 41YF and am slowly updating different systems. Ive gone thru the electrical and it's in good shape for the time being. This summer I'll do a small/simple upgrade to it. I've got my eye on the fuel system next. I'll have to get photos of the boat but I doubt the valving on...

As you can see it was quite a mess. I spent very little time on the boat because it was 19 degrees and blowing a gale. I will get photos of the progress tomorrow. Right now Battery 1 (port) and Battery 2 (stb) are Car Quest 908DFT and the House battery is an Interstate 8D-XHD. I'm not sure if...

Trying some photos
