I purchased a new 1-3/4 Inch raw water hose to replace the deteriorating hose on my Yanmar 6LPA-STP engine. Any tricks to get the new hose over the nipples on the water pump and strainer?

I received an update to the Navionics app I’ve had on my iPad for a few years today and it actually installed a brand new Navionics app that includes Active Captain. The new app imported all my original Navionics data. After the new app was installed I deleted the old app. I’m not sure what...

I emailed Navionics about an issue I have noticed while navigating with my Navionics Boating HD app on my iPad Pro for the past month. While navigating an active route on the chart page, it reverts to the download page about every 10 minutes. Their support staff sent a prompt reply that they...

I have a 2003 Mainship 30 Pilot II and would like some feedback about replacing the table socket base in the cabin from a raised socket base to an recessed base. The base in the upper cockpit is recessed. The reason is because we almost always have the table upstairs in the cockpit and the...

The burgee flag that came with my previously owned Mainship Pilot is faded so I would like to replace it. I like the design but might think about a new design idea. It appears to be a good quality nylon stitched flag and I would like to have the new one match the quality. Has anyone found a...

I’m planning to change the impeller on the Yanmar 6LPA-STP in my 2003 Mainship II Pilot. Before I begin to remove the cover plate and take apart the housing I was hoping someone here on the forum that is familiar with this can help me. I am able to squeeze through the small hatch in the cabin...

I have a pair of 9" Axiom MFD's that I installed last spring along with a new HD radar and I am totally satisfied with the setup. I'm also looking forward to some additional updates to add some missing and additional features but this new option was totally unexpected. Raymarines YouTube...

On my Raymarine Axiom there is an acronym in the menu for adding navigation data to app screens (like the chart, radar and data screens) called BOTW. Anyone know what it stands for? It's the only one I can't figure out and Raymarine has no glossary of acronym terms that I could find. I even...

On a long, multi destination cruise on my 2003 Mainship 30 Pilot the this past week I became nervously aware that the thru-hulls for the forward and midship bilge pumps sit about 3 inches above the waterline. What is concerning is both pumps sit below the waterline by several inches and the...

The stainless steel screw that attaches the chain that holds the diesel cap came off and fell into the fill tube. My Mainship Pilot has aluminum tanks. Any worry? Same thing happened with my previous boat but it was the water fill, not a big deal. Kicking myself for not tightening them.

On my new to me Mainship Pilot II I have two diesel tanks that hold about 85 gallons each. The tanks are connected by a 1/2 inch maybe 3/4 inch crossover line with shutoff valves. Both tanks have their own fill. The diesel pump at the dock pumps much faster than the tanks can equalize through...

I am having a company in Rhode Island install a new battery system on my 2003 Mainship 30m Pilot II and as they looked over the present setup they came across an issue with the bow thruster positive cable/fuse. I will quote the email instead of trying to describe the issue myself. "We've...

I am hoping someone who has the Mainship 30 Pilot II Sedan or a similar setup could help me with the best options to snake wires from the helm to the hardtop and also to the cabin. I am planning to install some new electronics that need wiring to the hardtop as well as a TV and a couple of 12v...

After many years cruising around the LI Sound on our Regal Commodore 242 we have made the move up to a Mainship 30 Pilot II Sedan just last month. It'll be a long couple of cold winter months till April when I'll be moving her from RI to CT. Being my first experience piloting a boat with a...
