    Air filter foam replacement options??

    I am the relatively new (couple months) owner of a Mainship 40 with twin Yanmars. Getting ready to do an oil change. Each engine has a gray plastic/rubber hose fitted to the oil pan. They are a couple feet long and just have a plastic plug shoved into the open end. Is an added on item or was...

    Another Light Question

    I got such great help on my last question so here is another one. As mentioned in the other post. We are new owners of a 2004 Mainship 40. I noticed a couple of the indicator lights on the DC panel are out. I unscrewed the panel to look and it appears these are not a simple bulb replacement...

    flourescent to LED question

    New Mainship 40 owner here. Been reading about switching lights over to LED's. Is there a simple way to switch over the twin fluorescent fixtures inside the cabin to LED? I see plenty of bulb options for the small G4 courtesy lights but have not seen any discussion on the fluorescents. Thanks
